Notes on western Palaearctic species of the Tipula (Yamatotipula) lateralis group, with the description of a new species from Turkey (Diptera: Tipulidae)
- N/A
A review is presented of the species included in the Tipula (Yamatotipula) lateralis group. One of these species, T. (Y.) guentheri sp. n. from eastern Turkey, is described. The subspecies previously recognized within T. (Y.) lateralis are given species rank, viz., T. (Y.) lateralis Meigen, T. (Y.) barbarensis Theowald & Oosterbroek, stat. n., and T. (Y.) iranensis Theowald, stat. n. The three subspecies of T. (Y.) montium are considered to belong to two species, viz., T. (Y.) montium Egger and T. (Y.) afriberia Theowald & Oosterbroek, stat. n., the latter with two subspecies, the nominotypical one and T. (Y.) afriberia italia Theowald, Dufour & Oosterbroek, comb. n. Examination of type-material revealed that T. (Y.) lateralis intermedia Eiroa and T. (Y.) subsolitaria Theowald are junior synonyms of lateralis and iranensis respectively (new synonymies). Distributional data are given for the species and subspecies discussed. T. (Y.) afriberia italia is recorded here for the first time from Spain and Portugal.
