Coenosia flavissima Hennig, 1961 View in CoL
Comments. A mysterious species. It was described by Hennig on the basis of only two males from Orenburg [51°46’N 55°06’E] in the European GoogleMaps part of Russia ( Hennig 1961b: 554), and no specimens (both males and females) are known apart from the holotype and the paratype. The GoogleMaps Orenburg region borders on Kazakhstan, and it can be assumed that this is a Central Asian species that is widely distributed south of Orenburg.
The holotype and the paratype are deposited in the Museum für Naturkunde, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and they were studied by Pont & Werner (2006) and by Couri & Pont (2020). Coenosia flavissima resembles Coenosia ciliata Hennig, 1961 in the absence of basal scutellar setae but it is a very distinct species, easily recognized by its pale general colour and by the male terminalia (Fig. 478, plate XXIV in Hennig, 1961a).
Distribution. Palaearctic: Russia (SE).
