Zwicknia turkestanica brevicula ( Berthélemy & Dia, 1982 )

Murányi, Dávid, Gamboa, Maribet & Orci, Kirill Márk, 2014, Zwicknia gen. n., a new genus for the Capnia bifrons species group, with descriptions of three new species based on morphology, drumming signals and molecular genetics, and a synopsis of the West Palaearctic and Nearctic genera of Capniidae (Plecoptera), Zootaxa 3812 (1), pp. 1-82 : 55

Zwicknia turkestanica brevicula ( Berthélemy & Dia, 1982) comb. n.

( Fig. 196 )

Capnia turkestanica brevicula Berthélemy & Dia, 1982 — Berthélemy & Dia 1982: 210. (original description of the adult and the larva).

This subspecies was described from Lebanon, tentatively considered as a subspecies of Z. turkestanica . Berthélemy & Dia (1982) indicated that this form was related to Z. tuberculata . Microptery of specimens was used as the distinguishing character separating from the nominate Z. t. turkestanica . However, the studied Kazakh specimens of the nominate form included both micropterous and macropterous individuals, similar to Asian Zwicknia , drumming and molecular studies of topotype series would be needed to clarify the status of this taxon.
