Pseudexechia aurivernica Chandler 1978

Description

* Pseudexechia aurivernica Chandler, 1978

nec Mycetophila trivittata var. b. Staeger, 1840: 261

Exechia trivittata pale form; Lundström 1909: 41, figs 67 & 68

Pseudexechia aurivernica Chandler, 1978: 45, figs 1–4

Specimen determined as Mycetophila trivittata Staeger, 1840 var. b in Zetterstedt (1852,

4234).

Material. Male [SPM­005228, with light green tag, labelled: var. b. Mulfj. 29 jul] –

Sweden: JÄ, Mullfjället, 29. July 1840.

Although described as late as 1978, this species has been noticed as a pale form of Pseudexechia trivittata by Zetterstedt (1852) and by Lundström (1909) who also figured its genitalia. Staeger (1840) also noted a var. b. of Pseudexechia trivittata (Staeger, 1840). Staeger's var. b., however, probably refers to Pseudexechia trisignata (Edwards, 1913) as his type series consists of these two species (Edwards 1924; also confirmed by the author; see discussion in Chandler (1978)). This is the first correctly reported record of this species from Sweden.
