Remarks. A very distinctive species, belonging to the
caesia
-group of
Lispe
(Hennig 1960)
. It can be identified with the key by Hennig (1960) to Palaearctic
Lispe
. It is very similar to
Lispe caesia
Meigen, 1826
and the characters distinguishing the two species have been given in a key by
Vikhrev et al. (2016)
who also illustrate the male terminalia (
Vikhrev et al. 2016
, figs 8–9).
