3C4C87D8FFEC7516206C7AA96241F8FA.taxon	description	(FIGS 4 – 8) The taxon shares the following adult morphological characters with all Rhingiini taxa: pilose postpronotum; two-segmented aedeagus of male genitalia; face with well-defined parafacia; antenna shorter than head; wing: cell R 4 + 5 acute, with long petiole; anterior crossvein (r-m) before middle of cell DM (but r-m at middle position in Ferdinandea); upper outer cross vein (M 1) more or less straight; vein R + 4 5 almost straight. Diagnosis: Katara Vujić & Radenković gen. nov. possesses a unique combination of character states that clearly discriminates it from all other Rhingiini genera: eye dichoptic in both sexes (Fig. 4 D, E) and abdomen distinctly broader than thorax in both sexes (1.3 – 1.4 times wider than thorax) (Fig. 5 C – F); basoflagellomere small, rounded, with a short, slightly thickened arista almost as long as the length of antenna (Fig. 4 C), proepisternum and proepimeron bare of pilosity in both sexes; and male genitalia with elongated surstylus and epandrium (Fig. 6 A, B). Other generic diagnostic characters that discriminate Katara gen. nov. from other Rhingiini genera are: face not protruded (Fig. 4 A); frons protruded (Fig. 4 A) with transverse striae (Fig. 4 D); eye bare; antennal pits narrowly connected (Fig. 7 A); the ventral margin of lunula is almost straight without a medial process (Fig. 7 A); thorax without bristles; metasternum bare; alula reduced (Fig. 8 A: x); costal vein ending before wing apex (Fig. 8 A: y); anterior crossvein (r-m) placed before mid of cell DM (Fig. 8 A); subscutellar fringe absent; tarsomeres of mesolegs ventrally without black bristles; male genitalia with hypandrium apically protruded (Fig. 6), ejaculatory apodeme spatulate (Fig. 6 C: f), gonostylus plate-like (Fig. 6 D), ctenidium on gonostylus well developed (Fig. 6 D), spermal pump bifurcated (Fig. 6 C: e), distiphallus angulated (Fig. 6 C: a) and dentate (Fig. 6 C: a), lateral sclerites of distiphallus fused (Fig. 6 C), surstylus without lateral carina (Fig. 6 A), lateral arms of minis not well developed (Fig. 6 B: g). Etymology: The new genus is named based on type locality, an area between Katara pass and Kampos Despoti, in PindosMountains, central Greece. Word ‘ Katara ’ is latinized from the Greek word ‘ Kataras ’. The name is to be considered as feminine. It means ‘ curse’ in Greek language, indicating the dangerous high mountain pass.	en	Vujić, Ante, Ståhls, Gunilla, Radenković, Snežana (2019): Hidden European diversity: a new monotypic hoverfly genus (Diptera: Syrphidae: Eristalinae: Rhingiini).

Antenna (Fig. 4 C) dark brown with gray pollinosity. Basoflagellomere small, rounded, 0.85 times longer than wide. Arista inserted dorsally at the basal 1 / 3 of basoflagellomere, thickened in basal 1 / 2, about as long as antenna (1.2 times longer). Antennal pits almost separated by a cuticular extension of the face (Fig. 4 B). Lunula wide (0.54 times width of frons), with an almost straight posterior margin except for a notch medially. Eyes bare, separated (Fig. 4 D). Frons broad (0.4 times width of head), with transverse rugosity on lateral parts and with very rough punctuation; partly pollinose (in front of ocellar triangle and along eye margins, but lacking on rugose areas) (Fig. 4 D). Most of the vertex non-pollinose, except on posterior part. Occiput entirely gray pollinose. Ocellar triangle equilateral (Fig. 4 D). In contrast to the black colour of the whole head, there is a light brown narrow line dorsally along eye margin. Face below antennae concave, with well-developed facial tubercle and parafacia (Fig. 4 A); gray pollinose, except for shiny lateral stripes in lower parts (Fig. 9). Long hairs on parafacia; lower part of face and mouth edge are mainly pale, as for postcranium, whereas pilosity of the frons, vertex and occiput is mainly black. Thorax (Fig. 5 A, C). Mesonotum shiny, with fine punctuation, except for three gray pollinose longitudinal stripes (two wider lateral stripes and one narrow central) reaching the level of the transverse suture (Fig. 5 C). Hairs on mesonotum long (Fig. 5 A) and predominantly black, with some intermingled light yellow ones; without strong bristles. Pleurae gray pollinose, with posterior anepisternum and anterior anepimeron covered with black hairs, katepisternum with pale hairs; dorsal and ventral hair patches on katepisternum widely separated; the following areas lack hairs: anterior anepisternum, proepimeron, katepimeron, posterior anepimeron, meron and katatergum. Metasternum bare. Median postnotal sclerite of mesonotum gray pollinose except for shiny triangular area extending from central part to posterior margin. Wing brown hyaline, with black veins; completely covered with dense and strong microtrichia. Alula very narrow (Fig. 8 A: x); vein R 4 + 5 meets costal vein before apex of wing (Fig. 8 A: y); upper outer cross-vein (M 1) joins vein R 4 + 5 at an angle of 80 ° (Fig. 8 A: M 1). Calypter yellow, with some black marginal hairs. Halter pale-brownish. Legs black, except for pale apex of femora and basal 1 / 2 - 1 / 3 of pro- and mesotibiae, and basal 1 / 3 - 1 / 4 of metatibia. Hairs on legs a mix of black and light yellow (pale hairs predominantly on anterior part of pro- femur and tibia, basal 1 / 4 of mesofemur, posteriorly on metafemur, ventral part of meso- and meta- tibiae, and on all tarsi). Abdomen (Fig. 5 E) broad and oval; clearly broader than thorax at the level of posterior margin of tergite 2. Tergites and sternites shiny black, except for dull gray pollinose zones on tergites 1 – 3 (almost whole of tergite 1, central area on tergite 2 in the form of an inverted trapezoid ending slightly before posterior margin, and a small triangular area antero-medially on tergite 3) (Fig. 5 E); punctuation on tergites fine as on mesonotum. Abdominal hairs erect (except adpressed hairs on dull areas of tergites 1 and 2), predominantly pale, except for some black hairs on posterior 1 / 2 of tergites 3 and 4 and on pregenital segments; pale-haired parts can have a few intermingled black hairs. Male genitalia (Fig. 6): hypandrium elongated, especially distally extended (Fig. 6 A); gonostylus plate-like, with developed ctenidium (Fig. 6 D); distiphallus dentate, in the form of an angulated tubus (Fig. 6 C: a); spermal pump bifurcated (Fig. 6 C: e); ejaculatory apodeme small, in the shape of a narrow spatula (Fig. 6 C: f); surstyli elongated (Fig. 6 A, B); minis fused, only slightly divided apically and concave ventrally (Fig. 6 B: g). Description of female: Very similar to male, except for the following characters: basoflagellomere and arista reddish-brown, except for dark apical part of arista; frons slightly broader (0.42 times width of head), less pollinose in central part (Fig. 4 E), covered with shorter pale hairs; hairs on thorax predominantly pale; mesoscutum with shorter hairs (Fig. 5 B), less pollinose (only two short, narrow longitudinal stripes present) (Fig. 5 D); legs predominantly pale-haired; apex of femora and basal and distal parts of tibiae paler; tergites with smaller pollinose areas (tergite 3 without pollinosity) (Fig. 5 F); abdominal hairs predominantly pale, except for a few black hairs on the last segments. Etymology: The new species is named according to the Latin word ‘ connexa ’ indicating the connection of the taxon to the other taxa of the tribe based on its characters. It is the participle of the verb ‘ connecto ’ in the nominative singular and agrees in feminine gender with the corresponding genus name. Distribution: The specimens of Kataria connexa sp. nov. were collected at 1300 – 1700 m altitude in the Pindos Mountains of Central Greece. This area belongs to the Oro-Mediterranean mountain biome that is rich in pre-glacial habitats and many pre-glacial relict plant and animal taxa. The species Cheilosia katara Claussen et Vujić, 1993, an endemic (relict) species occurring only at Pindos, was described by Claussen & Vujić (1993) from the same locality (Katara Pass, 1300 m). These taxa are only known from relict coniferous forests with Pinus heldreichii H. Christ and Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe.	en	Vujić, Ante, Ståhls, Gunilla, Radenković, Snežana (2019): Hidden European diversity: a new monotypic hoverfly genus (Diptera: Syrphidae: Eristalinae: Rhingiini).

3C4C87D8FFE7751120147F2862DDFDB5.taxon	materials_examined	Type: Pelecocera latifrons Loew, 1856: 46; Mengual et al. (2015 a) (lectotype des.). The phylogenetic analyses of both the three-genes and combined data (and also separate analysis of COI gene tree) agreed with the results of Ståhls et al. (2004) in not resolving the Pelecocera latifrons taxon in the Pelecocera sensu lato (sg. Chamaesyrphus + Pelecocera s. str.) clade. Morphological characters (listed in Table 2) confirm its distinctness from Pelecocera and Chamaesyrphus. For Pelecocera latifrons, here we erect the new genus Pseudopelecocera Vujić & Radenković gen. nov. We also place the species Pelecocera persiana in the new genus Pseudopelecocera based on descriptive data and illustrations given in Kuznetzov (1989) and Mengual et al. (2015 a), as morphological characters agree well with those of P. latifrons. Morphological closeness between these two taxa was previously noted by Doczkal (2002). Diagnosis: Basoflagellomere large, triangular, with a thick dorso-apical arista (Fig. 10 D); eye dichoptic in both sexes; frons wide (as wide as eye), with distinct transversal striae (Fig. 11 A); dorsal margin of lunula almost straight; no thoracic bristles; bare proepisternum; mesotarsi without black bristles ventrally; vein dm-cu almost parallel to hind margin; spermal pump bifurcated (Fig. 12 F); ejaculatory apodeme in the shape of a spatula (not fan- or stick-like) (Fig. 12 F); distiphallus angulated and not fused with basiphallus (Fig. 13 D: a); lateral sclerites of distiphallus fused; surstylus without ridge (Fig. 13 E). Etymology: The new genus is named after the former genus Pelecocera from which it is separated, with prefix pseudo from the ancient Greek word pseud ē s meaning pretending or having a close resemblance. The name is to be considered as feminine.	en	Vujić, Ante, Ståhls, Gunilla, Radenković, Snežana (2019): Hidden European diversity: a new monotypic hoverfly genus (Diptera: Syrphidae: Eristalinae: Rhingiini).
