Abstract: 216 Euura amicula (Saarinen, 1950) Figs 234, 458 Amauronematus amicula Saarinen, 1950b: 47–49. Holotype ♀ (http://id.luomus.fi/GL.3586, MZH). Type locality: Finland, Lapin Lääni, Outakoski. Diagnosis Extensively pale species (can be pink in life), but darker (median mesoscutal lobe and mesoscutellar appendage at least partly black) than E. rufa (median mesoscutal lobe and mesoscutellar appendage pale). Some specimens of E. striata are similarly pale, but have lamnium 1.6–1.7 times as long as radix (2.0–2.2 times as long in E. amicula, n = 2). Type material examined Holotype Amauronematus amicula FINLAND – Inari Lapland • ♀; Utsjoki, Outakoski; 69.61° N, 25.98° E; 19 Jun. 1947; A. Saarinen leg.; MZH, http://id.luomus.fi/GL.3586. Host plants Salix phylicifolia. Genetics COI Based on 21 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 2.74% and the nearest neighbours, diverging by a minimum of 0%, are Euura nuorbinjargi, E. striata, E. tenuis, E. tota, E. betulae (DEIGISHym80673 from Primorsky Krai), E. histrio, E. rufa, and E. septentrionalis. Nuclear Based on 19 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 0.97% (0.91% based on haplotypes of individual females). The nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 0.15%, is Euura striata. Distribution and material examined Palaearctic. Specimens studied are from Finland, and Sweden.
