<strong>New replacement names in craneflies (Diptera: Limoniidae, Tipulidae)</strong>

Abstract

New replacement names are given for 18 species-group names in Limoniidae and 5 species-group names in Tipulidae. Another replacement name in Limoniidae (schineriana Alexander) is reinstated. In all cases the replacement names are necessary because the senior and junior homonyms are presently congeneric.

Two new species of the genus Nephrotoma (Diptera, Tipuloidea, Tipulidae) from China with a key to species from Mainland China

“…This genus is characterized by the following characters: median size; Rs short, cell m1 with or without petiole; ninth tergite covered with small black spines, never completely confused with ninth sternite, has a varied shaped posterior extension; outer gonostylus more or less lobe-shaped, generally flattened, fleshy or partly sclerotized; female cerci longer than hypovalva ( Tangelder 1983 , 1984 ). Up to now, 446 species and 29 subspecies of Nephrotoma have been reported worldwide, with 78 species recorded from mainland China ( Oosterbroek 2015 ).…”

A new species of Elephantomyia crane fly (Diptera, Limoniidae) from Jeju Island, South Korea

“…Larva morphological features follows Oosterbroek and Theowald (1991) and Teskey (1981) . Definitions of biogeographical units follows Oosterbroek (2020) .…”

“…A total of 16 species of Elephantomyia are known from the East Palaearctic ( Oosterbroek 2020 ). They belong to two subgenera: E. ( Elephantomyia ) Osten Sacken, 1860 and E. ( Elephantomyodes ) Alexander, 1923.…”

A new species of the genus Baeoura from Morocco, with a key to the West Palaearctic species (Diptera, Tipuloidea, Limoniidae)

“… Baeoura ebenina was previously known only from Spain and Portugal ( Oosterbroek 2014 ). We provide the first record for Morocco and North Africa.…”

“…Worldwide, 70 species of the genus Baeoura have been reported, including 43 in the Oriental Region, ten in the Afrotropical Region, four in Australia, four in the East Palaearctic, eight in the West Palaearctic, and a single species in Chile ( Oosterbroek 2014 ). In North Africa, the genus was recorded by Krzeminski and Starý (1984) who described a new species, Baeoura szadziewskii , from northeastern Algeria.…”
