Description

Trachyopella opuntiae (Richards, 1967)

Leptocera (Trachyopella) opuntiae Richards, 1967: 531.

Remarks

Richards (1967) originally described this species as a Trachyopella Duda, 1918 (then a subgenus of Leptocera Olivier, 1813), a placement that was followed by Roháček & Marshall (1986) in their review of Holarctic Trachyopella. Pitkin (1989) transferred opuntiae to Rudolfina, in view of its modified female cerci. Examination of type specimens, including male and female terminalia, supports the treatment of this species as a Trachyopella.
