The
type
material of
Dolichopus fulgidus
Fallén
has not been found and the name is currently considered a nomen dubium.
Grichanov (2006b)
mentions a potential
type
in Zetterstedt's collection in Lund. According to
Grichanov (2002)
this specimen is close to
D. campestris
Meigen
, but it has a wide face and lacks the long ciliae on hind femora and the sinuate wing margin of
D. campestris
males. It is likely that it is yet another nematode-induced demasculinised male.
