Notes

First registered in Estonia in 2018 in Tartu (see the Materials and Methods section), now clearly established there (being repeatedly collected or observed in five localities over the period of two years). First found in Tallinn in 2020. No published records. The species is easily distinguished from related synanthropic species by its relatively large size (up to 18 mm in adults), feathered setae, long antennae and caudal filaments, abdominal tergites II - VI with three and tergites VII-IX with two pairs of bristle-combs, segment X trapezoidal ( Chick 2018, Aak et al. 2019, Molero-Baltaná et al. 2000; Fig. 1 A-D).
