Treatment

Pristiphora robusta (Konow, 1895) Figs 26, 164, 289

Lygaeonematus robustus Konow, 1895: 53. Holotype ♀ (GBIF-GISHym3897) in SDEI, examined. Type locality: Bohemia, Czech Republic.

Similar species.

Combination of the structure of valvula 3, nearly completely black coloration, and the large size (9-11 mm) enable easy identification of the females. Males are best recognised by examining penis valves. Interestingly, a reared male specimen from Finland (http://id.luomus.fi/GL.5198) has vein 2r-rs present on both wings.
