Pteremis kaszabi (Papp, 1973) View in CoL

Leptocera (Pteremis) kaszabi Papp, 1973a: 415 View in CoL (male). Type locality: Mongolia, Central aimak, Bogdo ul, Bugijn až achuj [1,650 m]. Holotype: J (HNHM).

Pteremis kaszabi View in CoL : PAPP (1984): 88 (generic combination, Palaearctic catalog); RoHÁĆFK et al. (2001): 211 (world catalog).

Comments. This species is known from only the male holotype. According to PAPP (1973a) it has the wing fully developed and differs from P. fenestralis mainly by its small body (ca. 1.2 mm), very large head (wider than thorax and longer than high), 3 equally long ifr and R 4+5 distally more strongly upcurved to C. The colouration of face (considered by PAPP 1973a also to be different) falls in fact within the variability of P. fenestralis . Judging from these characters P. kaszabi possibly is a valid species but its relationships are unknown because PAPP (1973a) did not describe structures of its male terminalia.

Distribution. Palaearctic: Mongolia.
