Pristiphora frigida (Boheman, 1865)

Nematus frigidus Boheman, 1865: 568-569. Lectotype ♂ (NHRS-HEVA000005005; here designated) in NHRS, examined. Type locality: "Middel Hook in Belsund" (Spitsbergen Island), Svalbard, Norway.

Pristiphora Adelungi [sic!] Konow, 1902: 162, 167-168. Lectotype ♀ (DEI-GISHym30151; here designated) in ZIN, examined. Type locality: Hornsund (Spitsbergen Island), Svalbard, Norway. Note. Additional male specimen of P. adelungi labelled as “TYPE” is deposited in SDEI. Since this specimen lacks labels with detailed information given in the original description, its type status remains uncertain.

Similar species.

Externally, perhaps the most similar species is P. bifida , from which it can be distinguished by having black or brown hind trochanters, trochantelli, and tibiae (pale in P. bifida ). In addition, antennae of males have only some barely visible stout black setae among finer paler ones (Fig. 35 View Figures 18–36 ), while these are numerous and clearly visible in P. bifida (Fig. 36 View Figures 18–36 ). On the other hand, the penis valve (Fig. 88 View Figures 87–96 ) might indicate a closer relationship to P. melanocarpa and P. ruficornis (Figs 79-82 View Figures 77–86 ), because of a membranous fold near the tip of the ventro-apical spine that is missing in other species of Pristiphora ruficornis group. The tangium of the lancet (Fig. 71 View Figures 70–72 ) also resembles more closely the Betula feeding P. melanocarpa and P. ruficornis (Figs 46 View Figures 46–49 - 53 View Figures 50–53 ) rather than P. bifida (Fig. 70 View Figures 70–72 ): the dark sclerotized area is rather broader than long instead of longer than broad.
