Tomosvaryella rossica Kuznetzov, 1993

Tomosvaryella rossica Kuznetzov, 1993b: 177 .

This species was omitted in the identification key of Földvári & De Meyer (1999) but briefly commented on when comparing it with the closely related T. cilitarsis (Strobl, 1910) . Being originally described from northwestern Russia, it was recently collected in Finland (Kehlmaier & Ståhls in prep) and Germany ( Germany, Saxony, Vogtlandkreis, SE Zwota, Zauberwald, 744m, 12°26’E 50°20’N: 6ɗ 12Ψ, 30.VIII.2005, Kehlmaier (PCCK)). In the following, male and female terminalia, female sternites 1–5 and female hind leg of both species are figured ( Figs 105–116 ) and T. rossica is incorporated into the key of Földvári & De Meyer (1999). The figures presented in Dunk (1997) for T. cilitarsis clearly belong to T. rossica .
