Remarks.
Oedalea portugalica was described by Barták & Grootaert (2021) in Kanavalová et al. (2021) from Portugal. The male terminalia were not illustrated or described, and are provided herein for the first time.
Terminalia (Fig. 6 View Figure 6 ) small. Cerci (Fig. 6B View Figure 6 ) digitiform, covered toward tip with long setae, right cercus (Fig. 6B View Figure 6 ) slightly longer and more narrowed apically than left cercus. Epandrium covered with long setae (Fig. 6A, C View Figure 6 ), right epandrial lamella somewhat longer, broader and more elongated towards apex (Fig. 6A View Figure 6 ) than left epandrial lamella (Fig. 6C View Figure 6 ).
In Kanavalová et al. (2021), O. portugalica was compared with O. stigmatella . In the terminalia of O. stigmatella (figs 401-404 in Chvála 1983), the shape of the right and left epandrial lamellae is different, so that in O. portugalica there is a deep medial apical incision in the hypandrium (it is forked Fig. 6D View Figure 6 ), while in O. stigmatella the fork is shallow and broader (fig. 403 in Chvála 1983). The tip of the left postgonite is very characteristic and different. A sharp protrusion is apical in O. stigmatella (fig. 404 in Chvála 1983) while it is lateral (subapical) in O. portugalica (Fig. 6E View Figure 6 seen from the right, while on Fig. 6A View Figure 6 it is below the right epandrial lamella seen from the right side).
