Winnertzia bulbifera Mamaev, 1963 agg.

Morphological identification

Jaschhof & Jaschhof (2020b) made clear that W. bulbifera sensu Jaschhof & Jaschhof (2013) is a complex of three discrete species, which, among others, differ in the shape of the gonostylus. Specimens studied here from Germany belong to “ bulbifera C” in the paper by Jaschhof & Jaschhof (2020b: fig. 65), a potentially new species found earlier in Sweden. The genuine W. bulbifera, described by Mamaev (1963) from European Russia, is possibly identical with “ bulbifera A” of Jaschhof & Jaschhof (2020b: fig. 63).

Distribution

Germany (new record); Sweden, Finland, Latvia, European part of Russia (Gagné & Jaschhof 2021). The German occurrence of this species mentioned by Gagné & Jaschhof (2021) is based on a misidentification (Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2021b).
