Sciophila hirta Meigen, 1818 View in CoL

MATERIAL. 1 ♂, Ladannah, 6– 14.07.1999 ( FRIP) .

DISTRIBUTION. Holarctic. Detailed distribution is unclear due to questionable identity of older records [ Kjaerandsen et al., 2007a].

REMARKS. Closely related species S. parviareolata Santos Abreu, 1920 has been reported from N Europe [ Kjaerandsen et al., 2007b]. We have examined several other specimens from N Russia, which could not be clearly recognized either as S. hirta or as S. parviareolata using characters indicated by Chandler [2001]. It was pointed earlier that the validity of S. parviareolata is questionable [ Kjaerandsen et al., 2007b], though there may be additional species in this complex.
