Amauronematus alpicola Konow, 1895: 183–184 . Lectotype designated below. Synonymy by Lindqvist (1959c) is here re-instated.

Amauronematus zetterstedti Malaise, 1921a: 127 . Replacement name for Tenthredo humeralis Zetterstedt, 1838 .

Diagnosis

Most similar to E. obscuripes, which usually has a paler pterostigma (usually black in E. toeniata). Nearly complete black specimens may not be reliably distinguishable similarly coloured E. obscuripes . Paler specimens of E. toeniata have more whitish or greyish markings rather than brown or reddish as in E. obscuripes . Euura toeniata is genetically similarly diverse as E. obscuripes but morphologically less variable (e.g., never with reddish markings on mesepisternum).

Genetics

COI

Based on 24 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 2.58% and the nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 0%, is Euura obscuripes . When including also secondary intraindividual COI variants, maximum within-species distance is 8.21%. Two divergent secondary variants (0.76% different from each other but 7.45–7.60% different to the primary variant) were detected in ZMUO.064027 from Utsjoki, Finland, which are closest to E. obscuripes (DEI-GISHym31073) from California, USA (with distance of 2.74–2.89%).

Nuclear

Based on 19 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 0.99% (0.68% based on haplotypes of individual females). The nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 0.07%, is Euura obscuripes . When excluding the E. obscuripes specimen DEI-GISHym19806 with only 1529 bp of NaK and POL2 available, E. obscuripes is minimum of 0.15% different.

Distribution and material examined

Palaearctic. Specimens studied are from Austria, Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and Switzerland.
