Description
Meoneura arctica Ozerov, 1991
Material: CANADA: 1♂, 20.vi.1960, British Columbia, Gahnon Road 6 mil. W Terrace, leg. B. Heming; USA: 1♂, 31.vii.1961, Colorado, Independence Pass, Lake Co., 11.500’, Treeline, leg. J. G. Chillcott.
Meoneura arctica can be easily identified by the characteristic shape of the male postabdomen that is figured in Ozerov (1991: 10, Fig. 7). I compared two specimens reported here with the original description and cannot find any reason to assume a new species. The record of Meoneura arctica is surprising because this species has previously only been known from the locus typicus (Russia, Yamal Peninsula) and Sweden (Brake 2011).
