0705B36DFFDC1C0CF20AA1D403DB499B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis The genus is very polymorphic and characterized by the following combination of characters: body dark and stout, medium- to large-sized; palpus usually enlarged, loosely applied on proboscis; proboscis bulky; antennal scape glabrous or setose dorsally; arista-like stylus usually dorsal, sometimes basodorsal or subapical to apical; posterior mesonotum flattened; acrostichal setae absent; 4 – 6 dorsocentral bristles variable in length; sutural and postsutural, some notopleural, supra-alar and post-alar bristles sometimes absent or reduced; scutellum with 1 – 2 pairs of strong bristles and with some short lateral setae or hairs, sometimes with three pairs of long bristles; mid and hind coxae without bristle on the outer side; legs often modified; tarsi with more or less modified empodium and claws, usually without pulvilli; wing elongate and wide, sometimes modified in males; costa ended beyond tip of wing; crossvein dm-cu longer than distal section of CuA 1 vein, sometimes strongly sinuate; M 1 + 2 usually slightly convex anteriorly, often irregularly curved, more or less parallel to R 4 + 5, at least partly behind dm-cu.	en	Grichanov, Igor Ya.

0705B36DFFDC1C0CF20AA1D403DB499B.taxon	discussion	Remarks The genus Sphyrotarsus Mik, 1874 includes 5 species from the European Alps, one Caucasian species and one Pamiran species. It was diagnosed by scape glabrous dorsally; tarsi with reduced empodium and without pulvilli; M 1 + 2 and R 4 + 5 are not strictly parallel to each other (Parent 1938); scutellum with 3 pairs of bristles (Negrobov 1978). Furthermore, the Pamiran subgenus Takagia Negrobov, 1973 (of Sphyrotarsus), was diagnosed by elongated antennal postpedicel with arista apical, somewhat widened at apex in male; sutural bristle absent; one supra-alar bristle; scutellum with 2 pairs of bristles (Negrobov 1973, 1978). Nevertheless, all these characters are rather variable and can be found in East Asian species of Diostracus. The monotypic Caucasian genus Lagodechia Negrobov & Tsurikov, 1996 was diagnosed also by variable characters of face, mesonotal setation, wing venation and morphology of abdomen (Negrobov & Tsurikov 1996). In addition, some characters of L. spinulifera were incorrectly described, as follows from the illustrations published by Grichanov et al. (2011 a, b). I think the diagnostic characters of these taxa have low generic significance and regard Lagodechia, Sphyrotarsus and Takagia (now Ozmena Özdikmen, 2010) as subgenera of Diostracus. Accepting a new concept of the genus, I associate 97 species with Diostracus, of which 64 occur in the Oriental Region, 30 in the Palaearctic and 3 in the Nearctic Region. The flies of the genus are all torrenticolous in habitat.	en	Grichanov, Igor Ya. (2013): West Palaearctic species of the genus Diostracus Loew, 1861 (Diptera: Dolichopodidae).

0705B36DFFDF1C0CF23EA7E002DF4F86.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis At present the nominotypical subgenus differs from other subgenera in having a dorsally setose antennal scape. It is worth noting that many Asian Diostracus species were described with a glabrous scape (e. g., Saigusa 1984, 1995; Saigusa et al. 1997; Yang et al. 2011).	en	Grichanov, Igor Ya.

0705B36DFFDF1C0DF1DFA23C043749E0.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Describing a new genus, Negrobov & Tsurikov (1996) listed diagnostic characters that can be found in many Diostracus species (e. g., Saigusa 1984, 1995; Saigusa et al. 1997; Yang et al. 2011). The following characters of generic importance were listed in the original description of Lagodechia, but were not obvious on pictures made by O. Selivanova from type material (Grichanov et al. 2011 a, b): antennal scape has dorsal projection; distance between scutellum and 1 st tergum is 3 times as long as scutellum. Negrobov & Tsurikov (1996) also found important differences in the female oviscapt of Lagodechia spinulifera and Diostracus subalpinus (Negrobov, 1973). Unfortunately, D. subalpinus (described from the Baikal Lake environs) is the only Diostracus species with illustrated female genitalia. The status of D. subalpinus and D. spinulifer needs further clarification.	en	Grichanov, Igor Ya. (2013): West Palaearctic species of the genus Diostracus Loew, 1861 (Diptera: Dolichopodidae).

0705B36DFFDE1C0DF266A18903534DC0.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis The main diagnostic character of the subgenus is the elongate antennal postpedicel in both male and female, and the apical stylus (Negrobov 1973). Nevertheless, some Oriental Diostracus species also have an elongate postpedicel and an apical or subapical stylus (e. g., Saigusa 1984; Yang et al. 2011).

These characters are rather variable in Asian Diostracus species (e. g., Saigusa 1984, 1995; Saigusa et al. 1997; Yang et al. 2011).
