Contribution to the Pipunculidae fauna of Spain (Diptera).

Abstract

This study is mainly based on material of Pipunculidae collected in two localities in Spain: Pina de Ebro (Zaragoza) and Moraira (Alicante). Eleven new species are described: Eudorylas blascoi, E. dilatatus, E. falcifer, E. mediterraneus, E. monegrensis, E. tumidus, E. wahisi, Tomosvaryella hildeae, T. hispanica, T. resurgens, and T. sepulta. An updated checklist for the Spanish pipunculid fauna is given and the phenology and zoogeographical affinities are shortly discussed.
