''Leptosciarella viaticella'' is a dark, brachypterous species with nearly completely reduced macrotrichia on the posterior wing veins. In general aspect it is similar to ''[[Leptosciarella viatica]]'', which can be distinguished by the macrotrichia on the wing veins, the thicker gonostyles and the brighter legs. Another very similar species regarding the hypopygium and the reduchtion of macrotrichia is ''[[Leptosciarella claviforceps]]'', which otherwise has yellow legs and bright hairs on the fore coxae and a bright tibial organ.

By the rounded gonostyles this species belongs to the ''viatica''-complex of species and here to the subgroup of species with reduced macrotrichia on the wing veins. The specimen from Göttingen (Germany), mentioned by Mohrig & Menzel (1997<ref name="SC226" />: 79) does not belong to ''Le. viaticella'' but to another, new species.

Diagnosis

Trichosiopsis viaticella is a dark, brachypterous species with nearly completely reduced macrotrichia on the posterior wing veins. In general aspect it is similar to Trichosiopsis viatica, which can be distinguished by the more numerous macrotrichia on the wing veins, the thicker gonostyles and the brighter legs. Another very similar species regarding the hypopygium and the reduction of macrotrichia is Trichosiopsis claviforceps, which otherwise has yellow legs, bright hairs on the fore coxae and a bright tibial organ. Most similar is Trichosiopsis reducta, which was previously treated as conspecific. Differential characters are the two-segmented palpi, the completely bare posterior wing veins and the more slender gonostyli.

Discussion

By the rounded gonostyles this species belongs to the viatica-complex of species and here to the subgroup of species with reduced macrotrichia on the wing veins.

Etymology

lat. viaticus = travelling; making reference to similarity to Trichosiopsis viatica

Ecology

The holotype of Trichosiopsis viaticella was bred from dead alder wood. The species is only rarely found, probably because of its low flight activity caused by the wing reduction. Tr. viaticella is nevertheless obviously widely distributed.

Distribution

Finland[3], Germany, Russia[1], Slovakia[4].
