Meoneura arctica Ozerov, 1991 View in CoL

Material: CANADA: 1♂, 20.vi.1960, British Columbia, Gahnon Road 6 mil. W Terrace, leg. B. Heming ; USA: 1♂, 31.vii.1961, Colorado, Independence Pass, Lake Co., 11.500’, Treeline, leg. J. G. Chillcott.

Meoneura arctica View in CoL can be easily identified by the characteristic shape of the male postabdomen that is figured in Ozerov (1991: 10, Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 ). I compared two specimens reported here with the original description and cannot find any reason to assume a new species. The record of Meoneura arctica View in CoL is surprising because this species has previously only been known from the locus typicus ( Russia, Yamal Peninsula) and Sweden ( Brake 2011).
