Pristiphora decipiens (Enslin, 1916) Figs 63, 116-117, 160, 285

Lygaeonematus compressus var. decipiens Enslin, 1916: 499. Lectotype ♀ (GBIF-GISHym3259; here designated) in ZSM, examined. Type locality: Mül. [abbreviation for an unidentified German locality].

Similar species.

The most similar species is P. compressa , which tends to be darker (usually has a black mesepisternum, while in decipiens it is extensively pale), and has a different lancet and penis valve (see the Key).

Genetic data.

Based on COI barcode sequences, P. decipiens belongs to the same BIN cluster (BOLD:AAK9450) as P. abietina , P. compressa , P. gerula , P. pseudodecipiens , P. saxesenii , and possibly P. robusta . Maximum distance within the BIN is 2.18% and minimum between species distance is 0.00%. The nearest neighbour to BOLD:AAK9450, diverging by minimum of 3.92%, is BOLD:ACO1401 ( P. euxantha ). No nuclear data are available.

Host plants.

Picea sp. ( Beneš and Krístek 1979), P. pungens Engelm. ( Kula et al. 2016).

Distribution and material examined.

West Palaearctic. Specimens studied are from Finland, Germany, and Slovakia.
