Malthacosoma punctipenne Reuter, 1879: 254 (n. sp.). Malthacosoma halimocnemis var. impunctata Wagner,

1958: 9.

DIAGNOSIS: Similar to S. pallens , S. halocnemi and S. fuscovenosus in regular and minute dotting of forewings but can be distinguished from the former two species by the absence of pale brown setae on clavus and corium. Distinguished from S. fuscovenosus by the color pattern of the membrane and the structure of apical process of vesica.

DESCRIPTION: VESTITURE: Composed of long and slightly curved adpressed silver setae.

COLORATION: Body (fig. 73) greenish to pale yellow. Head, antennae, pronotum, exposed part of mesoscutum and scutellum uniformly pale, without any color pattern. Entire forewing, except membrane, regularly and very densely covered with extremely small paler brown dots. Even in the palest specimens dotting always covering the entire wing. Size and density of dots equal throughout on clavus, corium, and cuneus. Diameter of dots on forewing not more than a third of basal width of second antennal segment. Membrane whitish hyaline, very gently embrowned apically. Veins whitish or yellowish. Ventral surface pale. Hind femora with pale brown roundish dots dispersed all along ventral surface, dots nearly twice as large as those on forewings. In the palest specimens, dotting on ventral surface reduced to a series of pale brown dots running along foremargin of femur. Dorsal surface of hind femur apically covered with several minute, and at times indistinct, pale brown dots. Middle femora with similar but reduced color pattern, rarely completely pale. Forefemora usually uniformly pale, sometimes with indistinct pale brown markings on ventral surface. Tibial spines brown; brown dots at bases of spines usually absent, rarely clearly distinct.

MALE GENITALIA: Vesica as in fig. 12, comparatively thin. Apical process long, thin, and acute, with somewhat curved apex, distinctly longer than width of vesica proximal to secondary gonopore. Longitudinal flange distinct but narrow. Series of teeth not extending proximal or distal to secondary gonopore.

STRUCTURE AND MEASUREMENTS: Labium at least slightly surpassing hind coxae, often reaching fourth abdominal segment. Hind femora not swollen in either sex, remarkably long and thin in males. Females macropterous. Tarsi as in fig. 47.

In males, body 3.0–3.6 X as long as width of pronotum. Pronotum 2.0–2.2 X as wide as long, 1.3–1.4 X as wide as head. Vertex 1.3– 1.5 X as wide as eye. Second antennal segment 0.8 X as long as basal width of pronotum, 1.1 X as long as width of head. Body length: 3.1– 3.6 mm.

In females, body 3.1–3.2 X as long as width of pronotum. Pronotum 2.1–2.2 X as wide as long, 1.3 X as wide as head. Vertex 1.5–1.7 X as wide as eye. Second antennal segment 0.7– 0.8 X as long as basal width of pronotum, 0.9– 1.0 X as long as width of head. Body length: 3.6–3.8 mm.

NOTE: Malthacosoma halimocnemis var. impunctata was described by Wagner (1958) from a large series of specimens collected from Iran that lacked brown dotting on forewings. Status of this variety needs further clarification.

DISTRIBUTION: Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Dagestan, Asian part of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Northwestern China *. Distribution of S. punctipennis in Meditterannean countries needs verification; see distribution of S. adspersus for details.

HOST PLANT: See S. adspersus .
