Coenosia demoralis Huckett, 1965 Fig. 2 Coenosia demoralis Huckett, 1965: 170, 171 (key) and 172. Type locality: Churchill, Manitoba [Canada]. Descriptive notes: Our specimens agree with Huckett’s description. It is necessary only to add some characters: postpedicel completely intensively yellow or brownish in apical half; gena broad, height of gena 2 times width of postpedicel; scutum grey without longitudinal stripes; f2 with 2 long pv setae in basal half; t2 with distinct ad seta (short in males and long in females) and 1 pd seta; t3 with 1 strong ad seta in middle, without pd setae (one male has 1 short pd on one leg). This species can be incorporated into the recent key to Siberian Coenosia (Sorokina, 2009: 6) as follows: 14 couplet as in Sorokina (2009) 14a Mid femur without a strong anterior seta; gena distinctly broader than postpedicel; abdomen blackish at base, without yellow marks.
