Melanogaster curvistylus Vujić & Stuke, 1998

Examined material. Styria: Graz, Mariatrost 448 m, 47°06’30’’ N, 15°29’57’’ E, 27.4.2018 (1♂), leg. H. Heimburg, det. D. Doczkal. GoogleMaps

Notes. The specimen was found close to an artificial flood retention basin. In the immediate vicinity is a small meandering stream with a narrow strip of riparian woodland (thereunder Alnus spp., Salix spp., Rhamnus spp.). Vujić & Stuke (1998) described M. curvistylus on the basis of two males from Serbia and Germany. So far, only a handful of records of this species are known from Europe (see Mielczarek 2010; Speight 2020). The specimen is deposited in the collection of the Zoologische Staatssammlung München.
