Abstract

Twelve species are recognized in the abietina group of Pristiphora. A key to species and illustrations of the lancets and penis valves are presented. Only P. erichsonii (Hartig) is holarctic in distribution. P. gerula (Konow) is re-established as a species since it is not a variety of P. saxesenii (Hartig). A new species P. thalenhorsti is described. The name P. takagii is proposed for laricivorus Takagi nee Brischke.
