Wing with crossvein r 2+3 –r 4, terminalia with nearly oval epandrium, clasping cercus about as long as high, triangular with round corners, half as long as height of epandrium, front edge slightly curved, inner surface covered with short dentiform setae, surstylus setose.</p><p>Description. Male. Wing length 2.3–2.8 mm.</p><p>Head including face brownish-green, becoming more darkish grey below neck. Chaetotaxy of head as normal for the genus, antennae and palpus dark.</p><p>Thorax including pleurae dull brown, mesonotum with light grey stripe down the line of the inconspicuous acrostichals flanked by two narrow, darker vittae. Dorsocentrals 5, long and widespread. The bristling of the thorax as normal for the genus, with 1 strong humeral, 1 posthumeral, 2 notopleurals, 1 supraalar, 1 postalar and 2 scutellar bristles.</p><p>Wing (Figure 1A) without costal stigma, almost brownish bright, base of R 4 slightly clouded. With single basi-costal seta. Auxiliary crossvein usually present, contiguous with base of R 4, forming two subequal marginal cells. Vein R 4 straight, evenly diverging from R 5. Haltere dark.</p><p>Abdomen. Brown.</p><p>Terminalia (Figure 1B). Hypandrium with lower edge curved, dorsal edge straight. Phallus straight, hardly increasing apically, flexible distal part strongly curved. Epandrium rhomboid, surstylus elongate axe-shaped, distally expanded, front corner round. Clasping cercus short, subtriangular, inner surface completely covered with short dentiform setae. Cercal plates comparatively well developed, slender, with long hairs along their whole length.</p><p>Female. Unknown.</p><p>Etymology. Named after the type locality. The name is a noun in apposition.</p><p>Distribution and biology. The species is taken in northern Norway and Finland. In northern Norway it was collected at a lake-like broadening of the River Gargiaelva with sandy bed, broad vegetation zone with sedges ( Carex spp.) and nearby woodland with birch ( Betula), alder ( Alnus) and willow ( Salix) (Ekrem et al. 2012: fig. 3). The Finnish collecting site is a large aapamire, i.e. a minerotrophic, patterned fen, characterized by rich fen vegetation (see Laitinen et al. 2007).</p><p>Remarks. Due to the presence of an r 2+3 – r 4 crossvein, Clinocera alta would run to C. nivalis (Zetterstedt, 1838) in the available keys (e.g. Niesiołowski 1992). In C. nivalis, however, the crossvein is closer to the wing tip, thereby forming an upper marginal cell shorter than the lower marginal cell. In C. alta sp. n. both cells are subequal in length. It must be noticed that these crossveins sometimes appear in certain specimens, and in others of the same species not. In a single specimen of C. alta this crossvein is lacking. The furnishing of the entire inner surface of the male clasping cercus with short dentiform setae may be regarded as an autapomorphic character.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/28658781FFE0D856FD35FBABF018FC45	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Salmela (LMM: MH-EMPI-2014-0933).</p><p>Differential diagnosis. The species belongs in the Platypalpus ciliaris -group, but differs clearly from other related species by having numerous acrostichals and dorsocentrals together with a largely polished pleura. Further, the apical spur of mid tibia is longer than in other known European species of this group. The extensive silvery pile on front tibia is also a good characteristic; to a lesser extent, this trait can also be seen in two other Fennoscandian species, P. ciliaris (Fallén, 1816) and P. mikii (Becker, 1890) .</p><p>Description. Male. Body length 2.8 mm, wing length 3.3 mm.</p><p>Head. Black, frons and occiput polished, dusted behind ocelli. Frons broad, about 1.5 times as broad as length of second antennal segment, widening above. Face linear, dusted. Clypeus narrow, polished, as long as, or even longer than face. Ocellar bristles minute, white. Vertical bristles not discernible. Pubescence on head everywhere pale. Antennae black. Third segment short, a little longer than broad, arista about twice as long as third segment. Palpus yellow with white pubescence, moderately large, sub-triangular, broadest at tip, and with a single long hair at lower corner. Proboscis brownish black.</p><p>Thorax. Black, mesonotum completely polished, humerus, scutellum and narrow lateral margins dusted. Pleura largely polished, leaving prothoracic episternum, pteropleuron and front part of hypopleuron dusted. Hairs and bristles pale. Acrostichals small but distinct, irregularly six-serial for most of the length. Between posterior acrostichals and scutellum there is a broad band of fine but distinct, uniformly distributed hairs that continues forwards on both sides of thorax. These hairs are subequal to the row of dorsocentrals, making the dorsocentrals difficult to distinguish. This ample pilosity leaves only an irregular strip between acrostichals and dorsocentrals bare. Notopleuron with single bristle easily distinguished from surrounding pilosity. Humeral bristle lacking. Scutellum with 4 bristles, apical pair rather long, the other pair less than half as long.</p><p>Legs. Yellow including coxae, but darker in distal half of mid- and hind femur, mid tibia brownish with silvery pile apically. All tarsi clearer yellow than corresponding tibiae, last tarsal segments darker in distal half. Fore femur slightly thickened. Mid femur clearly more swollen than fore femur, with two rows of spine-like bristles ventrally, posterior row with strongest bristles. No posteroventral bristles. Fore tibia slightly spindleshaped, dorsally with silvery pile covering most of basal half. Mid tibia almost straight, with moderately large, hooked apical spur about as long as the width at apex. Hind femur and tibia long and slender.</p><p>Wing. Faintly brownish with light brown veins. Crossveins closing basal cells near contiguous. Veins R 4+5 and M only slightly curved, running parallel for most of their length. Halter pale, squama light brownish with pale hairs.</p><p>Abdomen. Black, shining, with pale pubescence. Hairs sparsely distributed all over the abdomen, hairs longer along posterior margin of sternum eight.</p><p>Terminalia (Figure 3A–B) moderately large. Left epandrial lamella rather narrow with extensive dorsal pubescence around the tip. Cerci small, hidden between lamellae.</p><p>Female. Very similar to male. Apical two abdominal segments and small cerci dusted.</p><p>Etymology. From Latin argenteus, silvery, and cnemis, tibia, referring to the characteristic silvery pile on fore tibia.</p><p>Distribution and habitat. The species is taken in Norway, Sweden and Finland. In northern Norway it was collected close to a moderately fast running river with banks grown with willow ( Salix) and alder ( Alnus) (Ekrem et al. 2012). In Sweden it has been reported from sandy areas in Värmland, from a dry heath in Ångemanland, from a burned area in Västerbotten, and from several sites with mixed forest (S. Hellqvist in litt.). In eastern Finnish Lapland it was collected at a spring-fed headwater stream surrounded by old spruce ( Picea) forest.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/28658781FFE5D853FD14FB2BF1B4FCE5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Salmela (LMM: MH-EMPI-2014-1001) .</p><p>Differential diagnosis. The species is similar to Platypalpus confiformis Chvála, 1971, from which it can be separated by its darker apical part of mid- and hind femur (as in P. confinis (Zetterstedt, 1842)) and by the straighter right margin of left epandrial lamella (see Chvála 1975: fig. 251).</p><p>Description. Male. Body length 3.5 mm, wing length 3.5 mm.</p><p>Head. Thinly grey dusted, frons polished black. Front of frons about as broad as second antennal segment, widening above. Face narrower than frons, dusted. Clypeus polished. Vertical bristles not differentiated, although some hairs behind the ocelli tend to be longer than the rest of the pubescence. Postocular pubescence whitish. Antennae uniformly dark, third segment almost twice as long as wide, arista twice as long as third segment. Palpus broadly oval, pale with single brownish apical hair. Proboscis brownish black.</p><p>Thorax. Densely grey dusted, with polished black mesonotum and sternopleura. Large thoracic bristles pale. Acrostichals biserial, small, rows close together, the distance to the dorsocentrals about 3 times as long as the distance between the rows of acrostichals. Dorsocentrals irregularly biserial, not longer than the acrostichals, with scattered pubescence lateral to the rows. With 2 notopleural bristles not easily discernible from other lateral pubescence. Humeral bristles lacking. Scutellum with 4 bristles, apical pair about twice as long as outer pair.</p><p>Legs. Yellow, apical 1/2 of mid- and hind femur dark brown, tarsi darkened. Legs covered with small white hairs. Fore femur slightly thickened, mid femur distinctly thickened with two rows of lateral spines, no posteroventral bristles. Mid tibia with apical spur rim-like and very short.</p><p>Wing. Faintly brownish with light brown veins. Crossveins separated for about the length of crossvein r-m. Veins R 4+5 and M almost straight, only slightly converging towards wing tip. Halter pale with brownish base of stem.</p><p>Abdomen. Polished dark brown, covered with small white hairs.</p><p>Terminalia (Figure 4A–B) rather large, polished. Left epandrial lamella with straight hind edge.</p><p>Female. Unknown.</p><p>DNA barcoding. Two specimens were successfully barcoded. The specimens have identical COI profile and are the only members of the BIN BOLD: ADD3086. Specimen identified as P. confiformis is the closest species in BOLD, being 4.13 % distant from the new species. However, far from all Platypalpus species in Europe have been barcoded.</p><p>Etymology. Named after René Malaise (1892– 1978), Swedish entomologist and inventor of the tent-like insect trap bearing his name (Malaise trap).</p><p>Distribution and habitat. The species has only been found in northern Finland where it has been collected in the vicinity of spring-fed headwater streams, springs and intermittent brooks. All localities are surrounded by pristine boreal forests.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/28658781FFE7D852FD14FCEBF10FF965	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species belongs in the Platypalpus ciliaris -group, and is most similar to P. confinis (Zetterstedt, 1842) . However, the two species can easily be separated as the male terminalia of P. parvilamellatus sp. n. is much smaller than in P. confinis . Particularly the left epandrial lamella is very small compared to the lamella in P. confinis . In addition, mid tibiae appear to be more curved in both sexes compared to P. confinis, with a larger apical spur. Further, P. parvilamellatus has a broader face than P. confinis, with the polished part of clypeus much broader and diamond-shaped, whereas this polished area is narrow and cigar-shaped in P. confinis .</p><p>Description. Male. Body length 2.2–2.6 mm, wing length 3.0– 3.4 mm.</p><p>Head. Black, greyish dusted. Frons about as broad as length of second antennal segment, widening above. Face about as wide as front of frons, dusted. Clypeus broadly polished, subequal in length to length of face. Polished part of clypeus almost diamond-shaped. Ocellar bristles minute, white. No discernible vertical bristles. Pubescence on head pale. Antennae black. Third antennal segment a little more than twice as long as broad, arista about twice as long as third segment. Palpus ovate, about as long as third antennal segment, yellow, covered with white pubescence, some apical hairs longer. Proboscis black.</p><p>Thorax. Black; mesonotum completely polished; humeri, scutellum and narrow lateral margins dusted. Pleura dusted, with whole of sternopleuron polished. Hairs and bristles pale. Acrostichals biserial, inconspicuous, dorsocentrals uniserial, small, with the prescutellar pair larger, with only a few small hairs between dorsocentrals and margin of mesonotum. Notopleuron with 2–3 bristles, but these are difficult to distinguish from the subequal hairs. Humeri with 2–3 hairs longer than its general pubescence, without distinct humeral bristle. Scutellum with four bristles, the apical pair rather long, the other pair less than half as long.</p><p>Legs. All coxae, knees and basal half of hind femur yellow, remaining parts of the legs more or less brownish, tibiae darkest in apical ¾ of mid tibia and covered with an apical silvery pile. Tarsal segments becoming somewhat darker towards apex, last tarsal segment very dark brownish in all legs. Fore femur only indistinctly swollen, with two rows of fine ventral hairs. Mid femur moderately thickened, about as swollen as fore femur, with two rows of spine-like ventral bristles, posterior row strongest. No posteroventral bristles. Fore tibia cylindrical, thin, rod-like. Mid tibia (Figure 5A), distinctly curved, with small, darkened spur apically. Hind femur and tibia long and slender.</p><p>Wing. Faintly brownish with light brown veins. Crossveins contiguous. Vein closing anal cell slightly oblique, apical lower corner of anal cell &lt;90º. Veins R 4+5 and M slightly curved, parallel in apical ¼. Halter pale, squama light brownish with pale hairs.</p><p>Abdomen. Black, shining, with pale pubescence. Hairs sparsely distributed, with terga a little more densely pubescent, hairs longest along posterior margin of tergum eight.</p><p>Terminalia (Figure 5B–C) small, in dried specimens often partly hidden within the abdomen. Lamellae small with left epandrial lamella notably minute. Cerci of normal size, consequently exceeding left epandrial lamella considerably. Right epandrial lamella with narrow, thumb-like process apically, encircled by some longer hairs. The small, left epandrial lamella with small triangular extension dorsally.</p><p>Female. Very similar to the male. Apical two abdominal segments and small cerci dusted.</p><p>Etymology. From Latin parvus, meaning small and lamellatus, with lamella, referring to the distinctive small lamella.</p><p>Distribution and habitat. The species is taken in northern and central Norway and in northern Finland. In northern Norway it was collected close to streams and rivers (Ekrem et al. 2012).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/28658781FFE9D85FFFCCFF2BF036FD85	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Salmela (LMM: MH-EMPI-2012-0107).</p><p>Differential diagnosis. The combination of two pairs of vertical bristles, dusted mesonotum, moderately long and pointed mid-tibial spur, biserial acrostichals and yellow thoracic bristles suggest an affinity to Platypalpus balticus Kovalev, 1971, but P. tuberculatus sp. n. appears to have smaller palpus and lacks the sharply defined annulations of the tarsi. There are also differences in the terminalia, including a notched right margin of the left epandrial lamella in P. balticus (see Kovalev 1971: p. 119), this margin being rather straight in P. tuberculatus .</p><p>Description. Male. Body length 2.5 mm, wing length 2.0 mm.</p><p>Head. Black, greyish dusted. Frons about as broad as the distance between hind ocelli, only slightly narrowing in front. Face slightly narrower than frons, greyish dusted. Clypeus polished black. With 2 pairs of vertical bristles, postocular pubescence light brownish to whitish. Antenna black. Palpus yellow, very small and oval. Proboscis brownish black.</p><p>Thorax. Black, mesonotum completely dusted, pleura largely dusted, but sternopleuron with anterior polished patch. Acrostichals small, biserial, distance to dorsocentrals somewhat longer than distance between the rows of acrostichals. Dorsocentrals small, not longer than acrostichals, seemingly multiserial, some pubescence similar in size to the dorsocentrals continuing to the sides of mesonotum. With 1 humeral bristle and 2 notopleural bristles, the latter surrounded by some longish pubescence. Scutellum with four bristles. All bristles on mesonotum light brownish.</p><p>Legs. Yellow including coxae, tarsi darker towards apex in all legs. Fore femur slightly thickened. Mid femur not very broad, but clearly more swollen than fore femur, with two rows of spine-like bristles ventrally. Row of whitish posteroventral bristles present, about as long as 1/3 of the thickness of femur. Mid tibia with sharply pointed apical spur, slightly longer than width of apex of mid tibia. Mid trochanter ending in a blunt, flattened, spine-like tubercle at the point where it joins the coxa, about as long as the spine on mid tibia.</p><p>Wing. Slightly brownish with light brown veins. Crossveins closing basal cells separated for about twice the length of vein r-m. Veins R 4+5 and M straight, almost parallel, but slightly converging at wing tip. Halter pale, squama yellow with pale hairs.</p><p>Abdomen. Brownish black, shining, with some slight dusting laterally on the tergites. Abdominal pubescence pale.</p><p>Terminalia (Figure 6A–B) of moderate size. Left epandrial lamella with dense row of longish hairs along entire straight hind margin.</p><p>Female. Unknown.</p><p>DNA barcoding. The DNA barcode clearly separate the new species from other barcoded members of the genus Platypalpus . It is the unique member of BIN BOLD: ADD3085 and the distance to the nearest Hybotidae species is 11.69 %. However, far from all Platypalpus species in Europe have been barcoded.</p><p>Etymology. From Latin tuberculatus, meaning with bulb, referring to the tubercle-like protrusion at the base of mid trochanter.</p><p>Remarks. The species is only known from a damaged type specimen, which has third segment of both antennae and the legs on the right side missing. There is also some damage to the bristling on the head and thorax.</p><p>Distribution and habitat. The type locality in Törmäoja conservation area, is a spring-fed headwater stream with luxuriant riparian vegetation like Norwegian angelica (Angelica archangelica) and numerous other herbs, grasses and sedges. The bedrock is calcareous. Törmäoja stream is flowing in a deep valley, bordered by coniferous forests and barren boulder fields. The type locality is situated in the River Tuuloma catchment area, a river flowing northwards through Russia towards the Barents Sea.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/28658781FFEBD85EFFCCFD0BF671FE65	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
