p (mm): 1.938/1.979 (European male), 2.292/1.938 (European female), 1.958/1.917 (Mongolian male), 1.958/1.625 (Mongolian female), i.e. the two sections are subequal. Legs all yellow or reddish yellow. Fore femur grey dusted on Mongolian specimens. Hind femur dorsally with 3 to 4 long and thick dorsal bristles in apical third. Hind basitarsus ventrobasally with 1 or 2 stiff long black bristles. Male hind femur posteroventrally and anteroventrally each a row of thick black spiniform setae over almost the whole length of femur. Abdominal sclerites light grey dusted, margins of preabdominal tergites and all postabdominal sclerites of both sexes yellow to reddish. Male genitalia: largely as given by Gorodkov (1962, 1970); editum of the European specimens (Fig. 19) reclinate, apex narrow, with a definite basal process, which bears short thornlets; editum of the Mongolian specimens (Fig. 22) broad and rounded apically, less reclinate with more and thicker thornlets in its inner surface than on that of the European specimens, its basal process indistinct only 6 thornlets at that place; surstylus of the European specimens (Fig. 19) narrow and shorter with less numerous short thick setae on inner (medial) surface; surstylus of the Mongolian specimens (Fig. 22) longer and broader with much more numerous and somewhat longer setae on inner surface; epiphallus long but not pointed (Fig. 20); paramere of the Mongolian specimens thinner than that of the European's (Fig. 23 cf. Fig. 20). Female tergites 7 and 8 well sclerotized (Fig. 21), epiproct with 1 pair of bristles only (Fig. 21), cerci short with short hairs. Gorodkov (1962) regarded S. brevisetis Czerny, 1932 to be synonymous with iners and reported it repeatedly under the name iners from Mongolia (Gorodkov, 1969, 1972, 1974). Now definitive differences were found in the genitalia of the European and the Mongolian specimens (Figs 19-20 vs 22-23, see in key). Woznica (pers. comm.) studied the holotype of brevisetis and found its blackish flagellomere as a reliable distinctive character. And so Schroederella brevisetis Czerny, 1932 is re-established as a subspecies of S. iners from its synonymy. Further studies may prove its full specific status. Schroederella svenhedini Hendel, 1934 is probably identical with I. brevisetis, or it is a distinct taxon (cf. Gorodkov 1984: 25).
