Abstract: 121 Euura mimus (Konow, 1903) Figs 113–114, 359 Pteronus mimus Konow, 1903b: 311 (key). Lectotype designated below. Pteronidea nitida Lindqvist, 1946: 180. Lectotype designated below. Syn. nov. Pteronidea obtusa Lindqvist, 1958: 95. Syn. nov. Nematus truncus Vikberg, 1982: 63. Replacement name for Pteronidea obtusa Lindqvist, 1958. Diagnosis Externally most similar to E. connecta and E. leionota, but valvula 3 may usually be broader and almost square-shaped in E. mimus (narrowing towards the tip in E. connecta and E. leionota). The lancet of E. mimus is most similar to E. connecta, but seems to be smaller (lamnium length 0.66–0.70 mm, n = 6) and broadening from tip to base less abruptly than in E. connecta (lamnium length 0.78–0.79 mm, n = 3). Males of E. leionota are not known for certain. The penis valve of E. mimus is most similar to E. leucopyga, E. connecta, E. parviserrata, E. polaris, and E. sulciceps, but may have a somewhat smaller valvispina and a smooth (uneven in the others) apical margin of paravalva below valvispina. Type material examined Lectotype Pteronus mimus, here designated GERMANY – Mecklenburg-Vorpommern • ♀; Teschendorf in Mecklenburg; 53.45° N, 13.36° E; May 1896; F.W. Konow leg.; SDEI, GBIF-GISHym4743. Paralectotype GERMANY – Mecklenburg-Vorpommern • 1 ♀.; same data as for lectotype; SDEI, GBIFGISHym4671. Lectotype Pteronidea nitida, here designated FINLAND – Häme • ♀; Loppi; 60.72° N, 24.44° E; 18 Apr. 1943; A. Saarinen leg.; MZH, http:// id.luomus.fi/GL.3510. Holotype Pteronidea obtusa FINLAND – Central Finland • ♀; Pihtipudas; 63.36° N, 25.55° E; 6 Jun. 1945; E. Lindqvist leg.; MZH, http://id.luomus.fi/GL.3552. Host plants Unknown. A mention by Conde (1927) of a rearing from [cecidomyiid] galls on Salix may refer to a different species. Genetics COI Based on 4 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 0.3% and the nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 1.52%, is Euura leucopyga. Nuclear Based on 2 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 0% (0% based on haplotypes of individual females). The nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 0.78%, is Euura polaris. Distribution and material examined Palaearctic. Specimens studied are from Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and Switzerland.
