These Dolichopodidae were reared by emergenz-method from moist soil (Moscow, Russia)

Top one looks like Syntormon spicatus.

Syntormon fuscipes (von Roser, 1840) (=Syntormon spicatus (Loew, 1857)) The other females are probably Hercostomus and Gymnopternus sp. Igor Grichanov |

Dear Cranefly, I am sorry to tell you (and the others will agree with me when they look more closely) that none of the previous identifications are correct: 1. specimen in the centre: Syntormon: is not fuscipes, but rather monilis (male): see the deformed front tarsus and the enlarged apical tarsomere of the mid leg. The metatarsus is similarly ornamented as in fuscipes which might have caused the confusion. 2. specimen at the left hand side: Gymnopternus: incorrect, is rather a female of Rhaphium (possibly but not necessarily appendiculatum). See the rather sinuous course of the vein R4+5 and M1+2, and the apical postpedicel. 3. specimen at the right hand side: Dolichopus: incorrect, rather a female of Sybistroma nodicornis. See the absence of bristles on the hind metatarsus, and the scape and pedical with pale lower half, together with the protruding clypeus. I guess these flies were collected near a very humid marshland with open water, muddy spots and some canopy by trees? With kind regards, Marc |

You are right, Marc, regarding Syntormon: it is monilis in traditional sense (Parent, 1938) [S. monilis (Haliday) sensu Parent]. Unfortunately Parvu (2009) recently confined its distribution to the type locality (England, Ireland), considering his Syntormon silvianus Pârvu, 1989 the Pan-European species instead of monilis. At the same time, I guess that silvianus is a synonym to Syntormon submonilis Negrobov, 1975. See extracts from the DoliBank: Syntormon monilis (Haliday, 1851) (-is, F -e) [Rhaphium] * =Rhaphium monile Haliday, 1851: in Walker, Stainton et Wilkinson, Ins.brit. 1(1): 205 ** Type locality: England; Ireland. Palaearctic: ?Belgium, England, Ireland (see Parvu, 2009: Travaux du Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle „Grigore Antipa” 52: 295) * Syntormon Syntormon monilis Parent, 1938: Faune de France 35: 458 [nec Haliday, 1851, misid.] * Syntormon silvianus Pârvu, 1989 (Pârvu, 2009: Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle „Grigore Antipa” 52: 295 [as silvianum]) Syntormon silvianus Pârvu, 1989: Trav.Mus.Hist.nat.Grigore Antipa 30: 57 ** Type locality: Romania: Piatra Craiului Mountains, Southern Carpathianus. Palaearctic: Algeria, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria; Czech, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Romania; Russia: ?Krasnodar, Leningrad, Ural; Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, “Yugoslavia” // syn. of Syntormon monilis (Haliday, 1851) [Grichanov, 2007: A checklist and keys to Dolichopodidae (Diptera) of the Caucasus and East Mediterranean. St.Petersburg: VIZR RAAS (Plant Protection News Suppl.): 70], but see Pârvu, 2009: Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle „Grigore Antipa” 52: 295 * Syntormon submonilis Negrobov, 1975: Ent.Obozr. 54(3): 662 (-is, F -e) ** Type locality: Russia: North Caucasus, Fisht, Tybga.
