Description
(Figs 20–23)
Orthocladius tolleti Goetghebuer, 1944: 39.
Type material examined. Orthocladius tolleti: HOLOTYPE: ♁ pinned, now mounted on slide, labelled ‘ Orthocladius tolleti n. sp. // type ♁ / M. Goetghebuer // type locality Onoz-Spy, 14.V.1942, R. Tollet legit // R.I.SC.N.B. 18.073 / Coll. et det. M. Goetghebuer’.
Comments. Only the last three abdominal segments and the genitalia are preserved. A detailed examination of the hypopygium shows that it belongs to the subgenus Euorthocladius Thienemann, 1935, but it does not fit with any other known species. ASHE & O’CONNOR (2012: 703) listed the name among nomina dubia in Orthocladiinae; despite the specimen being in very poor condition, it is considered a valid species.
