An annotated checklist of Dolichopodidae (Diptera) species from Sakhalin, Russia, with new records

Abstract

The results of long-term studies of the dolichopodid fauna of Sakhalin Island by Russian authors are presented in the form of an annotated list of species for the first time. For this paper, originally published localities were checked, if they were referenced, and the exact locations of some collection points were established according to the museum collections. The latter material is included into the checklist. In addition, an unpublished material of Dolichopodidae is included. New records for 36 species, including 9 species new for the Sakhalin, are presented. Campsicnemus picticornis and C. scambus, Diaphorus nigricans, Dolichopus bisetulatus, Hydrophorus brunnicosus, Nepalomyia tatjanae, Rhaphium firsovi, R. tridactylum and Syntormon monochaetus are reported from Sakhalin for the first time. Sixteen species are excluded from the fauna of the island. In total, 72 species from 18 genera of long-legged flies are listed.
