Dasyhelea furva Remm, 1967: 21 (male, female; Estonia, Russia: North Ossetia); Remm 1979: 51 (Estonia). Dasyhelea bifida: Borkent & Forster 1986: 1283 (male, syn.: = furva, Canada); Szadziewski 1991: 106 (Poland). Nec D. bifida Zilahi-Sebess, 1936.
Dasyhelea fasciigera: Remm 1962 (partim): 129 (male, Estonia). Nec D. fasciigera Kieffer, 1925.
Distribution. Estonia, Poland, Russia (North Ossetia), Canada.
Discussion. Our study of D. furva indicate that the evenly bent outer branch of the gonostylus is diagnostic, and suggests it is a valid, distinct species. Therefore, we have removed it from the synonymy with D. bifida Zilahi-Sebess which has a gonostylus that is sharply bent at midlength.
This species is a boreal Holarctic faunal element.
