Material examined.

Holotype of Tipula subpruinosa : female, pinned specimen (MZHF). "Suomi/ KemL./ Pallastunturit/ 1.8.1951/ leg J. Kaisila" (white label, partly handwritten; backside: “Pyhäkuru” handwritten). "Tipula (Oreom.)/ stigma n. sp./ Mannheims det. 1953" (white label, partly handwritten). “Holotypus” (red label, printed). "Museum/ Helsinki/ Frey" (white label, handwritten). "Mus. Zool. H:fors/ Spec. typ. No 14227/ Tipula/ subpruinosa Mann." (grayish label, partly handwritten) (Fig. 5a). Pyhäkuru is located in NW Finland, Muonio, Pallas-Yllästunturit National Park, rough coordinates of the type locality are 68.079°N; 24.083°E.

The holotype specimen is in good condition (Figs 5b, c, d). Left mid leg is missing, other legs are intact. Right wing has minor rupture proximal to the pterostigma, Costa is slightly damaged. Abdominal terminalia of the specimen were detached by me, macerated in KOH and later preserved in glycerol in a microvial. This microvial is attached to the same pin as the specimen. The name “stigma” has never been published, and it has most probably been a working title by Mannheims while compiling his first account of Finnish tipulids ( Mannheims 1954).

Paratype: female, pinned specimen (ZMUC). "Lpl Sorsele/ Vallnäs tr / 18.7.1925 / S. Gaunitz" (white-gray label, unclear hand writing) "ex coll./ Peder Nielsen" (white label, printed) "Tipula (Tipula) / subpruinosa n sp.) / Mannheims det 1953" (white label, partly handwritten) "Tipula (Tipula) / subpruinosa n sp.) / Mannheims det 1953" (white label, partly handwritten) “Paratypoid” (red label, printed). The paratype specimen is in rather bad condition. Left antenna has nine and right antenna ten segments. All legs are broken, remnants of two legs are glued to a card below the specimen.

Other material. Finland. Karelia borealis: Lieksa, Nurmespuro 63.4030°N; 28.1972°E, 19.VI.-14.VII. 2008, J. Salmela leg, 2 females (ZMUT); Lapponia kemensis pars occidentalis: Kittilä, Palovaara E 68.0054°N; 24.7736°E, 23.VI. 2009 J. Salmela leg, 1 female (ZMUT); Lapponia enontekiensis: Enontekiö, Tarvantovaara, Pahtavaara SE 68.6518°N; 22.5909°E, 11.VI.-19.VII. 2009, J. Salmela leg, 2 males, 1 female.

Description of female terminalia.

Female terminalia as in Fig. 7a. Basal part of hypogynial valves with modest setosity, proximal ends of valves pointed (Fig. 7b). Genital fork of vaginal apodeme dark brown, slightly sinuous in lateral view. Dorsal view of vaginal apodeme and genital fork as in Fig. 7c.
