First records of Dolichopodidae (Diptera) from Bastak Nature Reserve, Russia

Abstract

A new material of Dolichopodidae has been recently collected in Bastak Nature Reserve, and includes 8 species (all species are found for the first time in the Reserve and in the Jewish Autonomous Region). In total, 20 species are reported in this region, which apparently makes up 20–25% of actual Dolichopodidae regional fauna. 11 species found in the Jewish Region are only reported in the East Palaearctic Region. Some of them are rare, known earlier only in Primorye (Dolichopus longisetus, Gymnopternus nemorum, Medetera stylata and Rhaphium nuortevai). This paper also provides a distribution pattern for each collected species.
