Fig. 543 View Figs 534–545

Amauronematus terminalis Malaise, 1931b: 46–47 . Secondary homonym of Pontania terminalis Marlatt, 1896 [ Euura terminalis (Marlatt, 1896) ].

Diagnosis

Belongs to the E. humeralis group. In females, the postocellar area seems to be longer (2.0–2.5 times as long as diameter of lateral ocellus) than in E. aceroserra and E. humeralis (1.5–2.0 times as long). Ventral margin of valvula 3 in lateral view angled as in E. aceroserra , but valvula 3 may be somewhat shorter. The holotype female is slightly paler (mesepisternum slightly pale) than typical E. humeralis ( E. aceroserra is darker), but the females from Primorsky Krai are largely pale (black are antenna, lateral mesoscutal lobes and most of abdomen dorsally). The valviceps of males is dorsally convex as in E. humeralis (more or less straight in E. aceroserra ), but the apical margin of the paravalva is perpendicular to the valvispina whereas it is strongly inclined in E. humeralis .

Etymology

The replacement name telos is the Greek noun τέλος, used in the figurative sense of an ending.
