637487D1FFFBF00F35E41B6E1A2370FB.taxon	description	According to Wahlberg (1850) Dolichopus consimilis is closely related to D. picipes, from which it differs by a broader face, smaller hypopygium and small, more or less uniformly dark cerci. It has been recorded from France, Norway and Sweden (Negrobov 1991, Pollet 2006). Ringdahl (1949) classified D. consimilis as a probable gynandromorphic form of D. picipes, but Stackelberg (1930), Parent (1938), Negrobov (1991) and Yang et al. (2006) have treated D. consimilis as a valid species. Four of the five males examined were parasitised; the fifth has an exit scar in the pleural membrane. D. consimilis Wahlberg is here synonymised with D. picipes Meigen.	en	Kahanpää, Jere (2008): Nematode-induced demasculinisation of Dolichopus males (Diptera: Dolichopodidae).

637487D1FFFBF00E35E41D931F9D764D.taxon	materials_examined	All examined specimens (10 exx) of D. parvicaudatus and D. pectinitarsis were parasitised. The Finnish material nominally belonging to these species form a continuum from D. pectinitarsis - type males with normal genitalia to D. parvicaudatus, an extreme form caused by the presence of two or more parasites in a single host. The synonymy of Dolichopus pectinitarsis Stenhammar, 1851 with D. plumipes (Scopoli, 1763) is here confirmed. Dolichopus parvicaudatus Zetterstedt, 1843 is also synonymised with D. plumipes.	en	Kahanpää, Jere (2008): Nematode-induced demasculinisation of Dolichopus males (Diptera: Dolichopodidae).

637487D1FFFAF00E35E41B3E1E4E7098.taxon	description	Dolichopus aemulus is close to D. popularis, from which it differs by the broader face and the narrowly feathered and weakly compressed apical segments of the mesotarsus (Fig. 1). The 5 th mesotarsal segment is dark, not white as in D. popularis. The hypopygium is somewhat smaller than normal for D. popularis, but without obvious morphological differences. D. aemulus has been recorded from Sweden and the former Czechoslovakia (Negrobov 1991). Ringdahl (1928, 1949) classified D. aemulus as a gynandromorphic form of D. popularis. Parent (1938), Negrobov (1991), and Grichanov (2004) treated D. aemulus as a valid species, although Grichanov (2002) had earlier expressed doubt about its validity. Yang et al. (2006), following Meuffels (1978), placed D. aemulus in synonymy with D. popularis. The only Finnish specimen was dissected and found to be parasitised. This supports the placement of Dolichopus aemulus Loew, 1859 as a junior synonym of D. popularis.	en	Kahanpää, Jere (2008): Nematode-induced demasculinisation of Dolichopus males (Diptera: Dolichopodidae).
