Differential diagnosis

Cheilosia schnabli is very similar to C. inarmata sp. nov. For a diagnosis, see the Differential diagnosis under C. inarmata . For differences with the extralimital C. impressa , and for drawings of the male genitalia, see Vujić et al. (1998).

Material examined

Collected in 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023; see Mengual et al. (2020) for detailed records from 2018.

Genetics

All DNA barcodes of C. schnabli cluster together with a relatively high support (BS = 94.7%). Moreover, we recovered a cluster with high support (BS = 99.7%) with some COI sequences of the C. transcaucasica (BS = 100%) and those of C. schnabli .

Biology

During our expeditions, collected between 4 May and 24 July at an altitude between 1250 and 1969 m a.s.l.
