Abstract

A new species, Dictyna palmgreni sp. n., is described from Finland and Russia on the basis of both sexes. Most of the earlier records of D. schmidti Kulczyński, 1926 from the northern Palaearctic refer to this new species. D. shilenkovi Danilov, 2000 syn. n. from Cisbaikalia is synonymised with D. schmidti. The general appearances and copulatory organs of D. palmgreni sp. n., D. schmidti and D. major Menge, 1869 are illustrated. The distribution of D. palmgreni sp. n. and D. schmidti is clarified. An unknown sac-like structure of the spermathecae of Dictyninae is briefly discussed.
