Palaearctic species of Rhamphomyia (Pararhamphomyia) anfractuosa group (Diptera, Empididae)

Abstract

Palaearctic species of the Rhamphomyia (Pararhamphomyia) anfractuosa group are revised. Rhamphomyia (Pararhamphomyia) biflexata sp. n., Rhamphomyia (Pararhamphomyia) lineodorsata sp. n., Rhamphomyia (Pararhamphomyia) nudiscutellata sp. n., and Rhamphomyia (Pararhamphomyia) shatalkini sp. n. (all from Russian Far East) are described and illustrated. A key to Palaearctic species of the Rhamphomyia (Pararhamphomyia) anfractuosa group is provided.
