Description
Bipassalozetes intermedius (Mihelčič, 1954)
(Figures 7 A-G)
Body length 335-352, width 175-196.
Diagnostic characters — Body dark reddish-brown. Bothridial seta setiform, long and smooth. Interlamellar line present. Anterior part of the notogaster extends to the interlamellar line. Rostrum rounded. Lenticulus and its borders distinct. Notogaster surface with polygonal pattern, with lateral sides only slightly elongated and three pairs of round porose areas present. Notogastral setae weakly developed and spindle shaped. Ventral surface similar to notogaster. Legs with porose areas present on trochanters III – IV, femura, tibiae and tarsi. Heterobidactylous.
Material examined — Collected all around the year, 306 adults, sites 1-3.
World distribution — Holarctic, Palearctic (less common in the North) and Canada (Subías 2022, online version 2024).
Remarks — Bipassalozetes intermedius closely resembles B. rugosus (Sitnikova, 1975) and differs only by the notogaster center and edges not having different shaped and length reticulations (Sitnikova, 1982). The examined specimens differed only in the relatively short bar-shaped (only weakly polygonal shaped) structures at the edges of the notogaster surface. Bipassalozetes intermedius was reported from both wet and dry meadows around a lake (Mihelčič 1954).
