A revision of the species of the genus Rhamphomyia (Diptera, Empididae) described by Gabriel Strobl.

Abstract

Types of twenty tree taxa in the genus Rhamphomyia published by Gabriel Strobl, between 1880-1910 are revised and lectotypes of nine species are designated. Three new. synonyms are established: R. klekovacensis Strobl, 1898, is synonymized with R. (Pararhamphomyia) modesta Wahlberg, 1844; R. flava var. bistriata Strobl, 1910, with R. (Holoclera) pallidiventris (Fallén, 1816) and R. squamigera var. squamosissima Strobl, 1910, with R. (Aclonempis) eupterota Loew, 1873. Due to the loss of holotype, R. pseudocrinita Strobl, 1909, remain unrecognized. R. (s. str.?) anthracinella, R. (Holoclera) morenae and R. (Aclonempis) gibbifera are redescribed and illustrated.
