Zalutschia mucronata - type ( Fig. 70 )

Head capsule light brown, occipital margin dark brown. Teeth of mandible and mentum lighter than occipital margin. Outermost mental tooth reduced in size. Inner mandibular teeth decreasing in size, third inner tooth not significantly smaller than second tooth. Head capsules with preserved antenna can be identified further: longer blade than flagellum ( Fig. 70A ) indicates Z. tatrica (see Saether 1976, Bitušík 2000).
