Nikita, hi! 2 males from N'Dangane are: Thinophilus palpatus Parent, 1929 [F 1930]: Bull.Soc.ent.Egypte 13: 180 [in key] (description: 1930: Ann.Soc.sci.Bruxelles, Ser.B, 50 (Mem.): 101) ** Type locality: Ethiopia. Afrotropical: Ethiopia, Nigeria, Angola, Namibia, Botswana * A male from Bandia Reserv. is: Thinophilus spinitarsis Becker, 1907: Annu.Mus.zool.Acad.Sci.St.-Petersb. 12: 315 ** Type locality: China: "O. Zaidam, im nord-Osu. Tibet: Kurlyk am Fl. Baingol". Palaearctic: Ukraine, Iran, Tajikistan, China * [I shall check one more time] Your photo and 2 females from Sine Saloum belong probably to Thinophilus palpatus. Good luck. Igor Grichanov |

1. Thank you Igor. 2. N'Dangane and Sin Saloum are the same locality. Usualy I prepare most of labeles in Moscow before trip, to save field time. And "Sin Saloum" is this preliminary made label. Afterwards I made labeles with more pricise place - "N'Dangane"(vilage in Sin Saloum delta). 3. Thinophilus spinitarsis - one of a kind. Senegal is rather new point for this species?

Nikita, There are several more strange areas fore rare Doli species. E.g., you have caught a female in Luxor (on Nile): Dolichopus flavocrinitus Becker, 1902: Mitt.zool.Mus.Berlin 2(2): 65 [as flavo-crinitus] ** Type locality: Egypt: Assiut, Alexandrien, Fayum. Palaearctic: Turkmenistan, Egypt; Afrotropical: Senegal * Regarding Senegal, it is a poorely studied country. You have taken specimens and pictures of 2 Thinophilus, Hydrophorus praecox and Medetera normalis. In addition, you have caught two species of Medetera new for science. Congratulations!
