Aclista szelenyii ( Móczár, 1938)

( Figs. 8 , 15, 24 , 28)

Xenotoma (Zelotypa) szelényii Móczár, 1938: 46 . Aclista szelenyii: NIXON (1957) : 68; JOHNSON (1992): 43.

Type locality. Hungary, Köszegy-Hegység. Material examined. CZECH REPUBLIC: BOHEMIA bor., Kadaň env., Úhošt Nature Reserve, 3.vi.1982, 1 ♀, J. Macek lgt. & det. ( NMPC).

Diagnosis. Female. Malar keel developed, straight; postmalar area developed; mandibles sickle-shaped, widely overlapping; no keel between pronotal shoulder and pronotal spiracle; gaster fusiform; medial furow at base of macrotergite slightly differentiated, rather confluent with basal striation.

Male. Unknown.

Differential diagnosis. Aclista szelenyii differs from the most similar A. bitensis by the long sickle-shaped mandibles and the absence of the keel between the pronotal shoulder and the pronotal spiracle.

Variability. No variation was observed in the limited material available.

Bionomics. Unknown.

Distribution. Hungary ( MÓCZÁR 1938). New record: Czech Republic.

Remarks. Type not seen; the identification of the species is based on a combination of the original description and NIXON’ s (1957) key diagnosis.
