Scathophaga karmazini nov. sp., a new species from Austria, with a key to Scathophaga species from Central Europe (Diptera, Scathophagidae) Author Šifner, František text Linzer biologische Beiträge 2020 2020-07-31 52 1 731 757 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.5273942 0253-116X 5273942 Scathophaga analis (MEIGEN , 1826) ( Figs 5–8 ) = Scathophaga bohemiae ŠIFNER, 2000: 35 , nov.syn. M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: CZECH REPUBLIC : Praha , Šeberovský rybník, pond (5953), 1♂ , 1♀ , 7.x.1997 , Šifner leg. (FSPC). D i a g n o s i s. Male. The submedial processes of abdominal sternite 5 very short with a distinct incision medially, dorsal lateral part of sternite widened (this part is very variable), sternite 4 almost quadrate, sternite 3 more or less rectangular and covered with short bristles ( Fig. 5 ), surstyli long, arched and pointed, cerci in upper part with long hairs and fine bristles ( Fig. 6 ), pregonite with two apical bristles of equal size ( Fig. 7 ). Female. Abdminal sternite 7 distinctly enlarged caudally, sternites 6 to 4 oval ( Fig. 8 ). C o m m e n t s. The original description of S. analis is in Latin and accompanied by very brief text in German, both based on colour characters only. Analogical is a description of the nearest species, S. inquinata (MEIGEN, 1826) ; based on these texts it is impossible to determine these two species reliably. SÉGUY (1952) considered S. analis as a valid species, GORODKOV (1986) treated it as a synonym of S. inquinata ; this opinion was accepted by ŠIFNER (2008) . BERNASCONI et al. (2001) consider S. analis as a doubtful species, possibly a synonym of S. inquinata . Nowadays, based on the considerable number of specimens for comparison including the type of S. bohemiae ŠIFNER, 2000 , I state that S. bohemiae is a junior synonym of S. analis (MEIGEN, 1826) . The basic diagnostic characters on terminalia of S. analis are: male – (i) submedial processes of sternite 5 distinctly short, (ii) pregonite with two setae apically ( Fig. 7 ); female – abdominal sternite 7 long and distinctly enlarged caudally, covered with long bristles caudally, sternites 6 to 4 oval without distinct bristles ( Fig. 8 ). D i s t r i b u t i o n. Confirmed only in Austria , Czech Republic and Poland ( ŠIFNER 2018 ).
