Zwicknia turkestanica brevicula (Berthélemy & Dia, 1982) comb. n.

(Fig. 196)

Capnia turkestanica brevicula Berthélemy & Dia, 1982 — Berthélemy & Dia 1982: 210. (original description of the adult and the larva).

This subspecies was described from Lebanon, tentatively considered as a subspecies of Z. turkestanica . Berthélemy & Dia (1982) indicated that this form was related to Z. tuberculata . Microptery of specimens was used as the distinguishing character separating from the nominate Z. t. turkestanica . However, the studied Kazakh specimens of the nominate form included both micropterous and macropterous individuals, similar to Asian Zwicknia, drumming and molecular studies of topotype series would be needed to clarify the status of this taxon.
