Description

Medetera kerzhneri Negrobov, 1966

Material examined. Bohemia: Duchcov (5348), 50°36′30″N 13°43′30″E, 220 m, floodplain forest, MT, 24.viii.– 23.ix.1998, M. Barták lgt., 1 ♁ (NMPC). Druztová, 2 km SW (6246), rocky SW slopes above Berounka river, 49°46′33″N 13°26′09″E, ca 330 m, swept from ground/stones, 2.viii.2021, 2 ♁♁ 7 ♀♀ (MCH).

Distribution. France, Kazakhstan, Russia (eastern Siberia), Switzerland (Negrobov & Naglis 2016) and Czech Republic (present paper).

Status in CZ. The first records are given herein.

Ecology. It is very likely that M. kerzhneri is a soil-dwelling species like related species; e.g., M. micacea Loew, 1857 and M. mixta Negrobov, 1967.

Remarks. This species is very closely related to M. mixta from which only males can be separated by the much shorter and thinner epandrial setae.
