03D687F2EB67FFEBFF53FC0BAE105D04.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Based on the genitalia, C. pallida is recognized as a synonym of C. diversicauda, a species known from the British Isles and small streams in the lowlands and low mountains ranges of Central Europe. Chelifera pallida was described from a single male specimen, but it was a difficult task to identify the holotype of this species and its probable collecting site. There are conflicting statements concerning time and date of collection between the species description (Vaillant 1982: 379) and information on the holotype slide. The confirmation that the identified slide is the holotype is based on the certain match of the drawing of the genitalia (Vaillant 1982: 383, fig. 7 f) with the mounted specimen (Fig. 1 c). The type locality mentioned in the original description is “ le type a éte´ pris le 20. VIII. 1971 en bordure des sources de la Drôme vers 1,500 m, par conséquent dans le sud des Alpes du Dauphiné ” — this locality is in the Alps, east of the Rhône river, and evidently wrong. Data on the holotype slide state different and limited information (Fig. 1 a). The collector given on the slide is ‘ Gagneur’. In the acknowledgement section, Vaillant (1982: 405) stated that M. J. Gagneur donated a number of specimens collected in the river Lot catchment — this is west of the Rhône river. The Lot has its source in the French Central Massif (Cevennes) and runs westward to the Garonne river. The mentioned number ‘ * 2 ’ probably indicates a collection site in the upper reaches. Therefore, the type locality can be narrowed to “ upper reaches of the Lot river, Massif Central, France ”.	en	Wagner, Rüdiger, Plant, Adrian, Ivković, Marija, Gattolliat, Jean-Luc (2022): New synonyms and new species of European aquatic dance flies (Diptera, Empididae).

03D687F2EB64FFE9FF53F902AFB95B7F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Based on male terminalia, specimens of C. giraudae and C. subangusta are indistinguishable. The holotype of C. giraudae was a specimen reared from a larva collected in the freshwater spring Marcols-lesEaux, Ardèche, Massif Central, 800 m. Vaillant’s holotype slide and the eclosion date and locality fit the original description. The species is rarely collected but its distribution area covers Southwestern and Central Europe. The name C. berdeni was mentioned when RW visited F. Vaillant. At that time he suggested it as a new but undescribed species (F. Vaillant, pers. comm. 1980 s) — it is most probably his C. giraudae.	en	Wagner, Rüdiger, Plant, Adrian, Ivković, Marija, Gattolliat, Jean-Luc (2022): New synonyms and new species of European aquatic dance flies (Diptera, Empididae).

03D687F2EB62FFEEFF53FF16AE7658A2.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The male terminalia of H. unilineata and H. maculata are identical. The differences mentioned by Vaillant (1968) (e. g., a non-arrowhead shaped phallus tip) are non-existent. In the holotype slide, a slight oblique view of the terminalia of H. maculata indicates a clearly arrow-head shaped tip of the phallus (Fig. 3 c, red arrow). In addition, the anterior prolongation of the epandrial lobe is hidden behind the epandrium, which is why it is difficult to identify the structure in Vaillant’s slide mounted holotype. The species is distributed throughout Europe.	en	Wagner, Rüdiger, Plant, Adrian, Ivković, Marija, Gattolliat, Jean-Luc (2022): New synonyms and new species of European aquatic dance flies (Diptera, Empididae).

03D687F2EB62FFECFF53F969AF1058B3.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Only two males (on a single slide) were identified that matched the stated type locality ‘ Torrent de la Roche Noire’ and date; he also collected a female (femelle) but it was not found. All other specimens are from later years from the type locality and other sites. The designation of a ‘ holotype’ on the slide from Le Lez (Fig. 4 c) (see above GBIFCH 00596293) written later by Vaillant is invalid. Wiedemannia hastata Mik and W. aerea Vaillant are morphologically indistinguishable. Engel’s figure of W. hastata (1940, pl. XI, fig. 84) shows a small apical division of the clasping cercus; however, this was not found in any male of the type-material and a crack where it might be broken was not found. General differences in male terminalia appear to be dependent on the different treatment methods and drawing abilities of the authors. Wiedemannia hastata is probably endemic to the highest reaches of the Alps.	en	Wagner, Rüdiger, Plant, Adrian, Ivković, Marija, Gattolliat, Jean-Luc (2022): New synonyms and new species of European aquatic dance flies (Diptera, Empididae).

03D687F2EB60FFECFF53FD7AA9035F17.taxon	discussion	The publication ‘ Revision des Empididae Hemerodromiinae de France, d’Espagne et d’Afrique du Nord’ (Vaillant 1965) created numerous nomenclatural problems due to errors in the attribution of text and figures, and figures with figure captions in the Wiedemannia rhynchops - group. The species-group is well characterized by a roundish black pterostigma and an L-shaped clasping cercus in males. The shape of the clasping cercus is the ultimate character for morphological species distinction. For decades, it was difficult to assign the correct name to species in this group because the original descriptions were often insufficient, particularly concerning the terminalia. Collin (1961) distinguished a British and a continental form or subspecies of Wiedemannia rhynchops; he named the British specimens as W. rhynchops insularis and another form from the West Alps as W. rhynchops debili s. However, Vaillant (1953) had recognized W. rhynchops debilis under the name W. alpina, but the name ‘ alpina ’ was pre-occupied by Wiedemannia alpina (Engel, 1918). Finally, a new name (W. brevilamellata) was given to that species (Wagner 1985). Wiedemannia rhynchops Nowicki was finally characterized by Niesiołowski based on Nowicki’s type material; further he raised W. insularis Collin, 1961 to species level (Niesiołowski 1992).	en	Wagner, Rüdiger, Plant, Adrian, Ivković, Marija, Gattolliat, Jean-Luc (2022): New synonyms and new species of European aquatic dance flies (Diptera, Empididae).

An excellent figure was given in the original description of Wiedemannia alpina Vaillant (1953: 61); the species was also illustrated in Vaillant (1965: 166 – 167, figs 5 g, 5 h), but by error was labelled in the figure caption as W. (W.) rhynchops ssp. mirousei. The W. alpina Vaillant material is lodged in MZLS and includes specimens from various regions but not the type locality. Vaillant mentioned that the only specimen collected on 21 June 1951 near Claix (Isère, à 350 m elevation), the holotype, was kept in alcohol, which was why Vaillant could not give details on color. It is presumed that Vaillant’s alcohol collection is now lost and none of the specimens available are from the type locality “ Environs de Claix, Isère ”. Therefore, we concluded it appropriate to designate a neotype from the available material in order to fix the species’ identity.	en	Wagner, Rüdiger, Plant, Adrian, Ivković, Marija, Gattolliat, Jean-Luc (2022): New synonyms and new species of European aquatic dance flies (Diptera, Empididae).

03D687F2EB6DFFE1FF53FCFEAAAD5DEC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species belongs to the Phaeobalia trinotata - group with almost equal sized lateral and inner lobes of the clasping cercus. A curved lateral lobe also occurs in Phaeobalia montana Vaillant from the Western Alps, but the shape of the curvature is dissimilar; furthermore, the inner lobe is curved in P. montana but straight in P. remschakae sp. nov.	en	Wagner, Rüdiger, Plant, Adrian, Ivković, Marija, Gattolliat, Jean-Luc (2022): New synonyms and new species of European aquatic dance flies (Diptera, Empididae).

03D687F2EB6BFFE7FF53FF16A80E5EBB.taxon	description	Description. Male. Head brownish, antennae and mouthparts dark brown; gena about 0.2 of eye diameter. Body length 5.7 mm (slide mounted specimen). Mesonotum with 5 – 6 pairs of dorsocentral setae, with only a few short setulae interspersed. Acrostichal setae half-length of dorsocentrals, distributed along entire mesonotum. Legs dark brown covered with dark setae; all coxae with longer anterior setae. Front tibia with 2 strong setae on distal third and 2 more of similar size apically. Wing membrane slightly infuscate, pterostigma elongate, brown. Cell dm elongate, protruded. M 1 and M 2 originating together at crossvein m-m. Wing length 4.2 mm. Abdomen with tergites 6 – 8 covered with curled setae. Terminalia (Fig. 10 c, d): hypandrium smaller than epandrium. Epandrium oval approximately two times longer than wide, with a few long setae; surstylus small. Clasping cercus with three lobes: anterior lobe pale, middle and posterior lobes dark; anterior lobe with short setae along basal edge, apical setae longer than apical diameter of lobe; inner surface of anterior lobe with few setae, middle lobe apically with strong setae from apex to base, posterior lobe with long setae, extending to base of middle lobe and covering basal and apical areas of clasping cercus. Basal part of clasping cercus covered with short setae. Phallus linear, slender; flagellum linear, without median swelling. Female.

The species is named in honour of the Czech entomologist, Rudolf Rozkošný, the collector of the specimen.	en	Wagner, Rüdiger, Plant, Adrian, Ivković, Marija, Gattolliat, Jean-Luc (2022): New synonyms and new species of European aquatic dance flies (Diptera, Empididae).

03D687F2EB6BFFE7FF53FF16A80E5EBB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The holotype is part of the slide collection of F. Vaillant deposited in MZLS. The specimen had been determined as Wiedemannia alpina Engel, but the shape of the terminalia clearly distinguishes both species. Besides the similarity of the clasping cercus, the close relationship of W. alpina and W. rudolfi sp. nov. is evident also by the long, curled setae on abdominal tergites 6 – 8 in both species.	en	Wagner, Rüdiger, Plant, Adrian, Ivković, Marija, Gattolliat, Jean-Luc (2022): New synonyms and new species of European aquatic dance flies (Diptera, Empididae).
