Seven species in the genus (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) are described here: sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., and sp. nov. They all originate from the wider Mediterranean region in southwestern Europe (Iberian Peninsula, southern France, Corsica, Sardinia). The most striking feature in most of the species is the bi- or multicolour pattern of the eyes, most conspicuous in sp. nov. and sp. nov. This character is shared by the male and female sex and is thus not regarded as Male Secondary Sexual Character. All species belong to the species group Bickel and are closely related based on shared characters in the hypandrium and cercus. Interestingly, three species with and four species without the basal pair of anterodorsal and posterodorsal bristles on the mid tibia are represented. This suggests that this diagnostic character has less phylogenetic relevance than previously anticipated. Unlike most Palaearctic , at least five of the new species are mostly found on rocky substrates in dry biotopes with a sclerophyllous vegetation. This further supports their relationship with species of the subclade Pollet, Germann and Bernasconi.
本文描述了(双翅目:长足虻科)属中的七个物种:新物种1、新物种2、新物种3、新物种4、新物种5、新物种6和新物种7。它们均起源于欧洲西南部更广阔的地中海地区(伊比利亚半岛、法国南部、科西嘉岛、撒丁岛)。大多数物种最显著的特征是眼睛的双色或多色模式,在新物种1和新物种2中最为明显。该特征在雄性和雌性中均有,因此不被视为雄性第二性征。所有物种都属于比克尔的物种组,并且基于下生殖板和尾器的共同特征密切相关。有趣的是,代表了三种在中胫节上有基部一对前背和后背鬃毛的物种以及四种没有该鬃毛的物种。这表明该诊断特征的系统发育相关性比先前预期的要小。与大多数古北区的[物种名称未提及]不同,至少五个新物种主要发现于具有硬叶植被的干燥生物群落的岩石基质上。这进一步支持了它们与波莱特、格曼和贝尔纳斯coni亚分支的物种的关系。
