Details for Chionea crassipes crassipes

Name: Chionea crassipes crassipes Boheman, 1846 Publication: Ofvers. K. VetenskAkad. Forh. 1846: 179 (as Chionea) Status: Recognized taxon. Classification: Family Limoniidae Subfamily Chioneinae Revision: Oosterbroek and Reusch, 2008. Keys: Oosterbroek and Reusch, 2008 (European Chionea); Vanin, 2010 (Palaearctic Chionea s.str.); Zhang, X. et al., 2012b habitus male habitus female body part(s) antenna body part(s) antenna body part(s) head and antenna plus 2 more images of body part(s) and ovipositor. Distribution: Finland, Norway, Sweden (not further south than Dalarna); Russia: RUN, RUC;; Russia: WS; Kazakhstan (east); China (Jilin). Note: see the manual for abbreviations: present-day Russia. Region(s): Westpalaearctic;; Eastpalaearctic General note: After Narchuk, 1998, gracilistyla is considered a subspecies in stead of a synonym of crassipes. Records from Austria, Belgium, Italy, Poland and most of Russia refer to other species (for details see Oosterbroek and Reusch, 2008). For Finland check Salmela, 2012b, 2012c, and citations below.
