Hoplocampa tadshikistanica Muche, 1986

Hoplocampa tadshikistanica Muche, 1986: 195–196 . Holotype ♂, examined, GBIF-GISHym2445, in ZMHUB. Type local- ity: Tadshik SSR, Hissar Mountains, Romit Gorge.

Note. A slide preparation of two lancets and a lance, with the handwritten inscription by Muche “ Hoplocampa tadshikistanica Muche Holotypus ♀ ” and a printed label “GBIF-GISHym2445” obviously does not belong to the male holotype.

Additional description. Body length: 2.3–3.0mm (after Muche 1986). Clypeus widely and deeply emarginate. Pale body colour orange-brown. Head largely pale. Dorsum of thorax and abdomen largely black (terga 1–8); sides and underside pale except for dark anepimeron. Legs pale except for clearly blackened metatarsi and apices of metatibiae; in female other legs more or less similarly dark. Venation pale, except for slightly darkened base of pterostigma. Female: somewhat darker than the male. Black on head are small patch around ocelli, the postocellar area, and antenna more or less dorsally and apically. Dorsum of thorax entirely dark, except for yellow tegulae and nearly entire pronotum. Apex of valvula 3 darkened. Valvulae 3 in dorsal view less than 2 × as long as basal width. Lancet: Fig. 86 View FIGURES 83–88 . Male: Head entirely pale except for small ocellar fleck. Mesoscutal lobes laterally slightly pale; posterior edge of mesoscutellum somewhat pale. Penis valve: Fig. 104 View FIGURES 94–107 .

Total number of specimens examined: 3.

Similar species. Externally, the most similar species is crataegi . Males of tadshikistanica are easily distinguished by their darkened metatarsi and apices of metatibiae from crataegi , with completely pale legs. Lancets of these two species are quite similar, but the sawteeth of crataegi ( Fig. 79 View FIGURES 77–82 ) are more acutely hooked, with a larger number of serrulae. We have not examined tadshikistanica penis valves, but if the drawing by Muche (1986, fig. 1) (reproduced here as Fig. 104 View FIGURES 94–107 ) is accurate, then they are clearly different from those of any of the other species which we treat.

Life history. Host plant: perhaps Cotoneaster , from which the type series was collected.

Distribution. Tadshikistan (only known from the type series).

Specimens examined. Tadshikistan : 1♀ (DEI-GISHym31786) 1♂ (DEI-GISHym31787), Hissar Mts, Romit Gorge, 1600m asl, 14.05.1985, leg. W. H. Muche ( ZMHUB) .
