NOTES. The species seems to be rare in collections. The junior author saw only few specimens collected from
Mordovia
, central Yakutia,
Pskov Region
(Velikie Luki) of
Russia
, and in northern
Kazakhstan
(near Nur-Sultan). Studying old literature, he noted a remarkable similarity of pictures of wing and hypopygium provided by
Mik [1880]
for single male of
Dolichopus thalassinus
Mik, 1880
(nec Haliday, 1832) and those in
D. lineatocornis
. Unfortunately, a short diagnosis for this male had no important diagnostic characters, e.g. slightly swollen hind tibia on basal half.
Parent [1938]
did not see Mik’s or new material, but gave a new name
Dolichopus miki
for
D. thalassinus
Mik
(nec Haliday) and redrawn Mik’s pictures. Both
Mik [1880]
and
Parent [1938]
compared that male (from “
France
”) with
Dolichopus simplex
Meigen, 1824
having simple hind tibia and simple wing in male. We think that the slightly swollen hind tibia was overlooked by Mik, and that male of
D. miki
belongs to
D. lineatocornis
. As we know, nobody studied old or new material for
D. miki
.
D. lineatocornis
is yet unknown from
France
, but being reported from the neighboring countries and such warm region as Black Sea coast in the Krasnodar Territory.
