Porricondyla petrophila Mamaev, 1986

Morphological identification

Jaschhof & Jaschhof (2013).

DNA barcode

CO1 sequences (642‒652bp) were obtained of the four specimens listed below and allocated to two different BINs, BOLD:ADZ9244 (specimens ZSM-DIP-42306-E11 and ZSM-DIP-42473-G03) and BOLD:ADM5312 (ZSM-DIP-42305-H05 and ZSM-DIP-42305-H06). In terms of male morphology, BOLD:ADZ9244 differs from BOLD:ADM 5312 in that the eye bridge is slightly shorter, the flagellomeral necks are slightly shorter, the gonocoxal processes are somewhat broader, and the ventral bulge of the gonostylus is less prominent. BOLD:ADM5312 is identical with P. petrophila as described by Jaschhof & Jaschhof (2013) on the basis of specimens from Sweden. More material needs to be studied in order to substantiate the variation observed here. Search on BOLD’s BIN Database retrieved a further match for BIN BOLD:ADM5312, as Cecidomyiidae sp. from Belarus (accessed 27 Aug. 2023).
