Description
Meotica smetanai SCHEERPELTZ, 1967
(Figs 65-68)
Meotica smetanai SCHEERPELTZ, 1967: 547 ff.
Type material examined: Lectotype ♂, present designation: " ♂ / Albania centr., Tiranë, Smetana 1958 / 27.IV. A [overleaf] / ex coll. Scheerpeltz / Cotypus Meotica smetanai O. Scheerpeltz / Lectotypus ♂ Meotica smetanai Scheerpeltz, desig. V. Assing 2017 / Meotica smetanai Scheerpeltz, det. V. Assing 2017" (NHMW). Paralectotypes: 1♀: same data as lectotype (NHMW); 1♂, 1♀: same data as lectotype, but "Typus" (NHMW).
Comment: The original description is based on "1 ♂, 1 ♀, Typen, 3 ♀♀ Paratypen " from " Albania centr., Tiranë " (SCHEERPELTZ 1967). Since a holotype is not specified, all the type specimens must be regarded as syntypes. The male labelled as "Cotypus" is designated as the lectotype, as it is in better condition.
Diagnosis: ♂: median lobe of aedeagus 0.23 mm long, somewhat resembling that of M. filaria (Figs 65-66); apical lobe of paramere blackish.
♀: sternite VIII (Fig. 67) weakly transverse, posterior margin convex; spermatheca similar to that of M. parasita and M. moczarskii, but with coiled proximal portion (Fig. 68).
Confirmed distribution: Albania.
