Boletina neoerythropyga Zaitzev & Polevoi, 2002: 641 (figs 7-8)
Diagnostic characters.
Most similar to Katatopygia antica and Katatopygia antoma from which it can be separated on coloration and details of the male terminalia. Zaitzev & Polevoi (2002) used four key characters to distinguish it from Katatopygia erythropyga : 1) absence of the apical process of the male gonostylus; 2) longer stem of M-fork; 3) scape of antenna brown; 4) abdomen uniformly brown.
Distribution.
The species is known only from the Yamal peninsula north in West Siberia.
Remarks.
The absence of the apical process of the male gonostylus is unique among the known species of Katatopygia and may be regarded as a secondary reduction (see discussion of phylogeny).
Type material.
The holotype is deposited in the A.N. Severtzov Institute of Ecology and Evolution in Moscow, Russia - not studied.
