Mycetaulus bipunctatus

Description

Mycetaulus cf. bipunctatus (Fallén, 1823) (fig. 1, 3 –4)

Fallén, 1823: 3 (Geomyza); Hennig, 1943: 46 (Piophila (Mycetaulus)); Bukowski, 1940: 203; Zuska, Laštovka, 1965: 154; Stackelberg, 1970 a: 218; McAlpine, 1977: 29; Zuska, 1984: 237; Merz, 1996: 348; Ozerov, 1999: 535 (Mycetaulus).

M a t e r i a l. Ukraine, Kiev, on horse-shoe fungus, 26.09.201 0, 1 Ơ (V. Korneyev) (SIZK).

D i s t r i b u t i o n. Europe: Czech Republic, Great Britain, France (mainland), Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland (Ozerov, 2013); Russia (European Territory; Caucasus; Far East) (Ozerov, 1999); Ukraine (Crimea) (Bukowski, 1940); Asia: Kyrgyzstan (Ozerov, 1999). First record from mainland Ukraine.

D i a g n o s i s. This species can be recognized from having wing with large brown apical fleck (fig. 1, 4) with brownish yellow mesonotum and black abdomen (fig. 1, 3), with strong orbital, well developed postpronotal and presutural supra-alar, and two pairs of katepisternal setae.

R e m a r k s. There are two cryptic species in the Nearctic Region (S. Rochefort, pers. comm.),which can be distinguished only from male genitalic characters, and since it is not clear if both of them are present or absent also in Europe, we identify the specimen provisionally.
