Revision of the genus Mniophila STEPHENS, 1831

114 NADEIN, K. S.: Revision of the genus Mniophila STEPHENS, 1831Fig. 2: Mniophila muscorum (KOCH): Aedeagi. A, C, F – ventral view; B, D, G – lateral view; E, H – aedeagalapex, ventral view. Scale bar: 0.5 mm.base. Pronotal surface covered with shagrination; punctation large, sparce, shallow, weakly visible.Elytra with greatly variable punctation. Usually punctation well developed, small, dense, striaeconfused; secondary punctation well developed, often as large as strial. Rarer strial punctationregular and secondary punctation smaller or almost indistinct. Legs thickened; tibiae straight orweakly curved; hind femora wide. First protarsomere of male usually short and moderately narrow.Aedeagus (Fig. 2) ventrally with apical third short with straight margins and nearly straight apexwith denticle to elongated, narrow, with narrow apex without denticle. From lateral view apicalthird clearly gradually narrowed to apex, sometimes wider.Body length – 1.20-1.68 mm, width – 0.89-1.21 mm.Differential diagnosis:Differs from M. bosnica in structure of aedeagus (Fig. 2): apical third in posterior view elongatewith straight margins instead of short with round margins, apex straight or nearly straight with adenticle instead of apex rounded without denticle (Fig. 3J, K); body more elongate (Fig. 1A-E); eyesconvex (Fig. 1F); pronotum longer (Fig. 1G); first metatarsomere thinner and shorter (Fig. 1K),first protarsomere of male shorter (Fig. 1L), colouration of the body darker, dark brown to black,usually with weak green luster; elytral punctation usually denser, punctation often confused,secondary punctation well developed, usually as large as punctures in striae. From M. tauricasp. n. differs in structure of aedeagus: apex usually elongate, with narrowing straight margins in
