The Western Palaearctic species of Stenomicra Coquillett (Diptera, Periscelididae, Stenomicrinae), with description of a new species of the subgenus Podocera Czerny

Abstract

Stenomicra (Podocera) soniae sp. n. is described from Central and Southeast Europe, and compared with morphologically similar species. The type material of Stenomicra (Podocera) delicata (Collin, 1944) is revised and the species redescribed. Both European species of Podocera Czerny are illustrated and their biology and distribution reviewed with a number of new records. A key to the four Western Palaearctic species of Stenomicra is presented.
