Aprionus borri sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: F17CA9EB-9D1F-47A1-9861-FC7054FAA837 Fig. 19 Diagnosis Among Aprionus with toothed gonostyli, Aprionus borri sp. nov. is the only species whose tegminal fingers are reduced to a single pair that forms the lateral and apical margins of the tegmen (↓, Fig. 19A). Etymology Borr, husband of Bestla, is Odin’s father. Material examined Holotype SWEDEN: ♂, Öland, Mörbylånga, Gamla Skogsby, 56.61° N, 16.51° E, mixed broadleaf forest, Malaise trap, M. and C.

CEC 308); 1 ♂, same data, but 15 Jul.–17 Aug. 2015 (no.

Differential diagnosis At a cursory glance, the tegmen of Aprionus borri sp. nov. seems to lack finger-like processes, especially in those slide-mounts where the finger apices intersect and then appear like they would form a closed, rounded margin apically. Aprionus with apically entire, fingerless tegmina (and toothed gonostyli) are A. ferulae Mamaev, 1998, a little-known species from Turkmenistan; A. reduncus Jaschhof, 2009, a species rarely collected in Fennoscandia; and ...
