A review of the genus Gimnomera Rondani, 1866 (Diptera: Scathophagidae) of Russia

New records of Diptera from the Republic of Mordovia, Russia

“…For the general taxonomy and distribution of species the following literature sources were used: Soos (1974); Mathis & Zatwarnicki (1995); Buck & Marshall (2006): Shatalkin (2008); Nartshuk (2013); De Jong et al (2014); MacGowan (2014); Ozerov & Krivosheina (2015, 2020; MacGowan & Bächli (2016); Roháček (2016); Ozerov (2019); . Individual species distribution maps for the Lonchaeidae listed here are available at http://lonchaeidae.…”

Contribution to the fauna of dung flies (Diptera: Scathophagidae) of Russia with a key to genera and a checklist of the Russian Scathophagidae

“…In this paper, we also consider species of the genus Megaphthalmoides Ringdahl, 1936 in the genus Megaphthalma. In our opinion, all the characters indicated by Ringdahl [1936:179] for the division of Megaphthalma and Megaphthalmoides are variable in genera Cleigastra [,Krivosheina, 2015[,Krivosheina, , 2016, Gimnomera [Ozerov, 2019a], Cordilura [Ozerov, Krivosheina, 2020b], Microprosopa [Ozerov, 2017], Scathophaga [Ozerov, Krivosheina, 2021], Trichopalpus [Ozerov, 2019c] and can not be used in the supraspecific taxonomy of the family. The name Megaphthalmoides is a new jounior synonym of Megaphthalma.…”

“…The last complete key to the Palearctic genera of the family Scathophagidae was published more than 10 years ago [Jong, 2000]. Since then, there have been noticeable changes in the nomenclature: the status of some genera has been revised, some names have become synonyms [e.g., Ozerov, Krivosheina, 2011bOzerov, 2016Ozerov, , 2017Ozerov, , 2019aOzerov, , 2019c, new genera have been described [e.g., Šifner, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2016]. Therefore, our work provides an identification key for the genera of flies of the family Scathophagidae and a checklist of genera and species of this family currently known from Russia.…”
