West Palaearctic species of the genus Diostracus Loew, 1861 (Diptera: Dolichopodidae)
No full textA new status (as subgenera of Diostracus Loew, 1861) for Sphyrotarsus Mik, 1874, Lagodechia Negrobov & Tsurikov, 1996 and Ozmena Özdikmen, 2010 stat. nov. is proposed. A new species, Diostracus (Sphyrotarsus) kustovi sp. nov., is described from the Russian Caucasus. The following recombinations (comb. nov.) are also proposed: Diostracus (Sphyrotarsus) argyrostomus (Mik, 1874); D. (S.) caucasicus (Negrobov, 1965); D. (S.) hervebazini (Parent, 1914); D. (S.) hessei (Parent, 1914); D. (S.) hygrophilus (Becker, 1891); D. (S.) leucostomus (Loew, 1861); D. (S.) parenti (Hesse, 1933); D. (Lagodechia) spinulifer Negrobov & Tsurikov, 1988; and D. (Ozmena) stackelbergi (Negrobov, 1965). A key to ten Diostracus species inhabiting the West Palaearctic Region is provided

Sternobrithes Loew

Gobertina argentea Bigot, 1879b: 193. ST 3 ♂, 1 ♀ [BMNH]: Sierra Leone. There has been a lot of confusion about the identity of the widespread, closely related group of genera close to Sternobrithes (see under Argyrobrithes). Part of the confusion started with the description(s) of Sternobrithes Loew (1857, 1860), in which the color of the last antennal flagellomere was not described. Gobertina picticornis Bigot was synonymized with Sternobrithes tumidus Loew by Kertész (1908: 347) but then Lindner (1935: 294) indicated that these are good species, without having studied the Loew material. Three syntypes of Sternobrithes tumidus from Guinea (which are deposited in ZMHU, not NHRS, as stated in Woodley 2001: 142), were examined by Jenny Pohl [ZMHU] (and by N. Woodley in 2010) and have a white last antennal segment. The female syntype from South Africa was neither in ZMHU (J. Pohl pers. com.) or in NRS (Y. Brodin & K. Holston, pers. com.). We agree with Kertész (1908) that Sternobrithes and Gobertina are congeneric, but do not follow Kertész in synonymizing the species picticornis with tumidus, before the genus is revised carefully. Next to Sternobrithes picticornis (Bigot) and S. tumidus Loew is a third valid species, S. mercurialis (Lindner) (Fig. 12), all of which have the last antennal segment white (with an orange base) and the last antennal segment is much shorter than the rest of the flagellomere. We have seen specimens of an undescribed species, which is very similar to S. picticornis / tumidus, but with the last antennal segment completely black. The generic limits of Sternobrithes and Argyrobrithes need to be reevaluated, including species from Madagascar and the Oriental Region, as well as other closely related genera and it could be that the two genera should be combined under Sternobrithes.Published as part of Hauser, Martin, Woodley, Norman E. & Fachin, Diego A., 2017, Taxonomic changes in African Stratiomyidae (Diptera) in Zootaxa 4263 (1), DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4263.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/57254
