Pristicampus dasiphorae Zinovjev, 1993: 81-84. Holotype ♀ in ZMUM, not examined. Type locality: Tibelti, Irkutsk Oblast, Russia.

Similar species.

The most similar species is P. malaisei , which can be separated based on the valvula 3, the lancet, and the penis valve (see the Key).

Genetic data.

Based on COI barcode sequences, P. dasiphorae belongs to its own BIN cluster (BOLD:ACO2064). Maximum distance within the BIN is 0% (based on two specimens). The nearest neighbour to BOLD:ACO2064, diverging by minimum of 8.45%, is P. malaisei (no BIN number has been assigned yet). Based on nuclear data, the nearest neighbour is 4.3% different ( P. punctifrons , both genes combined).

Host plants.

Potentilla fruticosa L. (= Dasiphora fruticosa ) ( Zinovjev 1993, our own observations on larvae in Öland).

Distribution and material examined.

Palaearctic. Specimens studied are from Russia (Zabaykalsky Krai) and Sweden ( Öland).
