Distribution
New to Finland. Widespread in Europe, but many records should be confirmed due to the frequent misuse of this name for
Dolichopus trivialis
Haliday, 1832 (
Pollet 2013
).
Discussion
This name has a confused history of use, which can be traced back to
von Stackelberg (1930)
, who erroneously synonymised Macquart's
Dolichopus cilifemoratus
with the species now called
Dolichopus trivialis
Haliday, 1832. He then created a new name,
Dolichopus pseudocilifemoratus
Stackelberg, 1930. Subsequent authors have often repeated Stackelberg's mistake. This record represents the first time the genuine
Dolichopus cilifemoratus
of Macquart is found in Finland.
