Thank you for taking time to post, Igor. I definitely appreciate and value this information. I am happy to have a better understanding of Dolicho. I am sorry that i misunderstood your keys for this genus. I really love your keys. I've never been able to sit down and correctly key a species at the first attempt. I was able to do this using your keys to
Dolichopus. The keys are magnificent. I obviously lack the experience with Agyra to understand the distribution of hairs correctly.
I have no luck finding females. I recently found a
Sciapus sp. but it is also a male. I haven't had a chance to key it yet but the point is that i always find males. I finally found a female cf Dolichopus sp a few days ago. I haven't had time to examine it but i will study it carefully in order to better my understanding of the females. I have not found Argyra yet, so i lack knowledge and experience with this genus.
I've attached a photo of the Sciapus sp. to show that i know what you mean about the male genitalia. I've also examined a
Dolichopus ungulatus male recently:

Thank you for posting and I hope that you have a pleasant day.
