Glemparon sagittifer Jaschhof, 2013

Fig. 2 A–B

Since the first description of this species ( Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013), only two additional specimens, again males, have been found, one of which is figured here to show some of the genitalic structures in better detail. The gonostylus of G. sagittifer is strongly compressed apically ( Fig. 2B ), the outline typically found in Glemparon . The gonocoxal posteromedial protuberance possibly bears a pair of dorsally directed processes, of which only the transverse sections are visible in ventral view (↓ 1, Fig. 2A ). One of our specimens has the antennae completely preserved, including 15 flagellomeres. The palpus, which is conspicuously short, has either three or four segments (not either two or three as previously described); pronotal setae are absent (not mentioned in the original description); and the metepisternum has one to three setae (not only one or two as previously described).

Material examined

SWEDEN: ♂, Halland, Halmstad, Gårdshult, Buskastycket, 56.41º N, 13.91º E, 3–25 May 2005, hay meadow, Malaise trap, Swedish Malaise Trap Project leg. (trap 35, collecting event 1786) ( NHRS, no. CEC1405); ♂, Öland, Mörbylånga, Ullevi, 56.61º N, 16.60º E, herb-rich meadow near forest, 8 Apr.–9 May 2016, Malaise trap, M. & C. Jaschhof leg. ( SDEI, no. CEC1429).

Remark on occurrence

The specimen studied here from Halland was collected by the same trap (but on an earlier date) that captured the paratype of G. sagittifer (see Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013).
