830EE8450714FFDE1F9021646F88C4B1.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The species is in the subgenus Prokempia Kieffer and is most similar to D. (P.) flaviventris (Goetghebuer, 1910). Males of both species differ in the shape of the lateral lobes of their aedeagi and gonostyli. In D. flaviventris the lateral lobes are much slender and the apex of the gonostylus is slightly bifid (Remm 1962). Dasyhelea alonensis is a valid species which is removed here from synonymy with D. flavoscutellata (Zetterstedt, 1950) (Borkent & Wirth 1997). This species represents a Mediterranean faunal element.	en	Dominiak, Patrycja, Szadziewski, Ryszard (2010): Distribution and new synonymy in European biting midges of the genus Dasyhelea Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).

In their taxonomic revision of the fasciigera species group, Borkent & Forster (1986) proposed to treat Dasyhelea bifida as a senior synonym of D. furva Remm, 1967. Our examination of new materials from Europe revealed that they both represent valid, distinct species (see D. furva below). The specimens previously recorded from Poland (Szadziewski 1991) actually belong to D. furva. The records from Moldova, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Middle Asia, Siberia (Remm 1988) and Germany (Havelka & Aguilar 1999) are questionable because they did not provide locality data, and therefore, we have not included these countries in this section.	en	Dominiak, Patrycja, Szadziewski, Ryszard (2010): Distribution and new synonymy in European biting midges of the genus Dasyhelea Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).

Our examination of the holotype of D. bilineata did not reveal any morphological differences between it and other specimens bred from leaf axils of Dipsacus sp. and those from rock pools determined as D. saxicola. Therefore, we propose to treat D. saxicola and all previously associated specific names as new junior synonyms of D. bilineata. The original description of D. insignipalpis Kieffer, 1925 c and Culicoides dieuzeidei Vaillant, 1957 agree with the diagnostic features of D. bilineata, and we consider them new junior synonyms of that species. Dasyhelea bilineata is a western Palaearctic faunal element. The aquatic larvae live in small bodies of water including rock pools and leaf axils.	en	Dominiak, Patrycja, Szadziewski, Ryszard (2010): Distribution and new synonymy in European biting midges of the genus Dasyhelea Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).

These diagnostic features mentioned in Kieffer‘s original description (1915) and subsequently presented in a illustration (1925 c), indicates that D. luteiventris is a new junior synonym of D. bilobata. This species is a European faunal element. Immature stages are found in peatbogs and the littoral zone of lakes, and in mosses or liverworts that blanket rocks along lake margins.	en	Dominiak, Patrycja, Szadziewski, Ryszard (2010): Distribution and new synonymy in European biting midges of the genus Dasyhelea Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).

830EE845071EFFD41F9026CE6C02C3A4.taxon	discussion	Discussion. According to Wirth (1952) the holotype and some paratypes of D. bifurcata from California were deposited in the USNM. Unfortunately, a recent search did not reveal any type material in that collection (Pollie Rueda – pers. com.). Only two female paratypes from the CASC and other specimens from CNCI determined by A. Borkent as D. neobifurcata were available for our study. Males of D. neobifurcata differ from European specimens determined as belonging to this species in the shape of the caudomedian projection on the left paramere which is more slender and also more heavily sclerotized. In our opinion, all records of D. neobifurcata in Europe most likely refer to D. calycata (type material of this species were not available in the TUZ, Jaan Luig – pers. com.). According to Remm’s original description, the caudomedian projection on the left paramere of D. calycata is broad and weakly sclerotized. This character is readily visible in all specimens of D. calycata that we examined from Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Poland, Spain, and Ukraine. It is worth noting here that the association of both sexes proposed by Remm for D. calycata seems to be incorrect. Males of D. calycata are typical members of the subgenus Pseudoculicoides Malloch with short mouthparts. However, its associated females have an elongated clypeus, a triangular subgenital plate without a lumen and long cerci which are not typical of this subgenus. We suspect that these females belong to another species, probably D. unguistyla Remm, 1972. Meridional Palaearctic faunal element. A halobiont. The records of D. calycata from Germany, Armenia, Kazakhstan and Kamchatka by Remm (1988) are questionable because he did not provide locality data, and therefore, we have not included these countries in this section.	en	Dominiak, Patrycja, Szadziewski, Ryszard (2010): Distribution and new synonymy in European biting midges of the genus Dasyhelea Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).

830EE845071CFFD71F9025D46C8EC077.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The type material of D. estonica collected from peat-bogs in Estonia, is most likely lost. Kieffer’s original description refers to it as small, black and shiny with brown legs and halteres, all of which are typical of specimens of D. dampfi. Therefore we concur with the suggestion (with a question mark) by Remm (1962) that D. estonica is a junior synonym of D. dampfi. The suggested synonymy was ignored in subsequent papers where D. estonica was treated as a valid species (Remm 1979, 1988; Borkent & Wirth 1997). This is a boreal European species that occurs only in peat-bogs. The record from Germany (Havelka & Aguilar 1999) is questionable because it did not provide locality data, and therefore, we have not included this country in this section. Reports from Hungary (Zilahi-Sebess 1940), Spain (Sahuquillo Herráiz & Gil Collado 1982) and Russia (Krivosheina 1957) based on females are also uncertain.	en	Dominiak, Patrycja, Szadziewski, Ryszard (2010): Distribution and new synonymy in European biting midges of the genus Dasyhelea Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).

At present, Monfalcone, where the lectotype was collected is in Italy, whereas Rann (now Brežice), where the female paralectotype was collected, is in Slovenia. Therefore, the type locality of D. decoratissima is Montfalcone, Italy. The species was regarded as doubtful by Remm (1988). This is probably a Mediterranean species. The biology is essentially unknown, but it has been collected in marshy meadows.	en	Dominiak, Patrycja, Szadziewski, Ryszard (2010): Distribution and new synonymy in European biting midges of the genus Dasyhelea Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).

830EE845071AFFD11F9026946C58C5A7.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Remm (1962) illustrated the male genitalia of two forms under the name D. fasciigera. Subsequently, Remm (1967) described one of them as D. furva (see below). In our opinion, the second male form illustrated by Remm from specimens collected in Estonia, is not D. fasciigera sensu Borkent & Forster 1986 (= D. furcata Zilahi-Sebess, 1940). Tergite IX of the males from Estonia depicted by Kieffer (1925 a) and Remm (1962) have much more slender apicolateral processes than males of D. furcata collected in other regions. Additional material of these two forms is necessary in order to determine whether these perceived differences are artefacts of mounting and / or observation, due to infraspecific variability, or if D. fasciigera and D. furcata are actually different, distinct species. Dasyhelea fasciigera is a Holarctic arboreal species.	en	Dominiak, Patrycja, Szadziewski, Ryszard (2010): Distribution and new synonymy in European biting midges of the genus Dasyhelea Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).

830EE8450718FFD31F9025D46E3AC6DC.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This species is an arboreal Palaearctic faunal element. It has been reared from mosses covering a log at a lake margin and from wet soil (present observation). Records based on females from England (Edwards 1926) and Zaire (Goetghebuer 1933 b) are doubtful. The occurrence of this species in Hungary, reported by Zilahi-Sebess (1940), was confirmed by Remm (1973 b). Goetghebuer (1934 a) and Remm (1988) synonimized Prokempia halobia with D. flaviventris (subgenus Prokempia) while Borkent & Wirth (1997) placed it among synonyms of D. flavoscutellata (subgenus Pseudoculicoides). According to the original description, it is similar to D. flaviventris but the latter species was never collected in saline habitats. It is possible that D. halobia from saline habitats (types lost) actually belongs to the subgenus Pseudoculicoides as suggested by Borkent & Wirth (l. c.) (see also D. halobia among nomina dubia).	en	Dominiak, Patrycja, Szadziewski, Ryszard (2010): Distribution and new synonymy in European biting midges of the genus Dasyhelea Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).
