Genus Lamellepidosis Mamaev, 1990

The genus Lamellepidosis previously contained a single species, L. spungisi Mamaev, 1990, known from Sweden, Ukraine (Gagné & Jaschhof 2021) and, as documented here, Germany. The finding of a new Lamellepidosis, which is described below, may be regarded as one of the most unexpected outcomes of GBOL III:Dark Taxa. The fact that two different Lamellepidosis occur in southern Germany may indicate that the main distribution of this genus is in southern Europe, a poorly researched region for mycophagous cecidomyiids.
