Remarks

Stackelberg & Richter (1968) reported only females from the Northern Caucasus and Armenia. Barkalov (1993) was not certain whether C. impudens occurs in the Caucasus after examining the material of Stackelberg & Richter (1968) and did not include this species in his key. When reviewing the species of Cheilosia with bare eyes and black legs, Barkalov & Ståhls (1997) did not included the Caucasus in the range of this species. We also could not find this taxon during any of our expeditions. We think it is unlikely that C. impudens occurs in the Caucasus and remove it from the checklist.

Genetics

The two available DNA barcodes of C. impudens are resolved within a cluster with high support (BS = 99.9%) with the sequences of other species, such as C. sahlbergi , C. vicina , and C. nigripes .

Distribution

Central Europe, the Balkans and Romania.
