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

Abstract

The results of long-term studies of the dolichopodid fauna of Belarus are presented in the form of an annotated list of species for the first time. In addition, new and old material of Dolichopodidae from Belorussian and Russian collections is included. Twelve species are recorded from the country for the first time. In total, 106 species from 22 genera of long-legged flies are listed, which apparently makes up less than 50% of actual Dolichopodidae fauna of the Republic. Argyra striaticollis Becker, 1918 is known from a single male holotype described from the environs of Minsk.
