(Diptera, Empididae), from the Caucasus I. V. Shamshev and S. Yu. Kustov All-Russia Institute for Plant Protection, St. Petersburg, Russia Kuban State University, Krasnodar, Russia Received October 30, 2007 Abstract Five new species of the subgenus Xanthempis Bezzi are described from the Caucasus: Empis (Xanthempis) annae sp. n. (Russia: Krasnodar Territory), E. (X.) grichanovi sp. n. (Russia: Krasnodar Territory; Georgia), E. (X.) pseudoconcolor sp. n. (Russia: Krasnodar and Stavropol territories; Georgia: Abkhazia), E. (X.) teberdaensis sp. n. (Russia: Karachay-Cherkessia), and E. (X.) zamotajlovi sp. n. (Russia: Krasnodar Territory and Adygea). The females of E. (X.) alanica Shamshev and E. (X.) kovalevi Shamshev are described for the first time. New data on the distribution of some previously described species are reported. The geographical distribution of Xanthempis is discussed. A key to Xanthempis species from the Caucasus is compiled. DOI: /S The subgenus Xanthempis Bezzi, genus Empis Linnaeus, comprises species characterized by a relatively large size (4 8 mm), yellow coloration of the body, posterior elongation of the head, relatively small eyes separated by a wide frons in both sexes, long antennal scape, strong reduction of the body chaetotaxy, and some other features (Chvála, 1996). These flies usually occur in grass or on leaves of trees and bushes, preferring shaded, rather moist biotopes (Chvála, 1994). Adults of both sexes retain for term of life the mixed feeding, including predation and nectarophagy. In contrast to other representatives of the genus Empis, the species of Xanthempis do not form swarms, and encounter and copulation of sexes occur on the surface of various substrata. Males before copulation make characteristic, species-specific court to females, which is an exception among empidids (Hamm, 1933; Chvála, 1976; Preston-Mafham, 1999). The subgenus Xanthempis is known only from the Palaearctic and includes 51 species (Daugeron, 2000). The maximum number of species (32 or 63%) were recorded in the fauna of Central and Southern Europe, three species, in North Africa (Morocco). It is indicative that the species richness of the group sharply decreases eastwards. Only five species of the subgenus occur in Siberia and the Far East, and only one has been described from Japan. Comparative morphological analysis of Xanthempis species has shown that all the East-Asian members of the group must have descended from E. stercorea L., the only species of the subgenus with the Transpalaearctic distribution range. One species of the genus, E. assalemensis Daugeron, was reported for the fauna of Middle Asia (Daugeron, 2000). However, in our opinion, this indication is not quite exact, since this species was collected at the boundary between Iran and Azerbaijan, i.e., actually, the subgenus Xanthempis was not found in Middle Asia. Ten species of Xanthempis (Shamshev, 1998; Shamshev and Kustov, 2006) have been recorded in the Caucasus. It is of interest that among these species, only E. stercorea occurs in other regions, and the rest are most likely endemics to the Caucasus (Kustov and Shamshev, 2007). Thus, we can assume that the subgenus Xanthempis has the three centers of speciation: central-southern European, Caucasian, and Far Eastern. This assumption can be corroborated by the fact that the degree of similarity between these centers in the number of species is extremely low. In the present communication, five new Caucasian species of the subgenus Xanthempis Bezzi are described. Moreover, additional data on the distribution 1115
2 1116 SHAMSHEV, KUSTOV of some previously known species are reported and the females of two species are described for the first time. All the species of the subgenus Xanthempis known from the Caucasus, including the new ones described here, are listed in the key below. The only exception is E. trigramma Wiedemann. Engel (1943) reported this species for the fauna of Azerbaijan. However, in our opinion, Engel erroneously identified the material which most likely belonged to E. adriani Chvála (Shamshev, 1998). Nevertheless, commonness of E. trigramma in many regions of European Russia and records of the species in Voronezh Province and the environs of Volgograd point to a high possibility of its distribution in the Northern Caucasus. Shamshev (1998) compiled a key to the Palaearctic species of the subgenus Xanthempis, but the key did not include seven species described later from Europe and Iran (Daugeron, 2000). It should be noted that many species of the subgenus Xanthempis are rather similar in appearance, and their identification can be difficult because of being based on the use of a small number of coloration characters. In such cases, the shape of the phallus, greatly varying in this group of Empididae, is the most reliable (sometimes, the only) criterion for identification of the species. The subgenus Xanthempis includes 14 species known from the Caucasus, which is the maximum among the Caucasian subgenera of the genus Empis (7 species in Empis s. str., 4 in Euempis Frey, 4 in Leptempis Collin, 5 in Pachymeria Stephens, and 5 in Polyblepharis Bezzi). Five species of Xanthempis have been found in the territory of European Russia, except for the Caucasus, and only E. stercorea is shared by the faunas of this region and the Caucasus. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present paper is based on examination of Empididae collections deposited in the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg (ZIN); Zoological Museum, Moscow State University (ZM MSU); Biological Department, Kuban State University, Krasnodar (KubSU); and University of Oxford (Hope Entomological Collections, University Museum, Oxford, UK). The terminology used in the descriptions mostly follows that proposed by McAlpine (1981), and, for the antennae, by Stuckenberg (1999). The homology of sclerites of the male genitalia follows that by Sinclair (2000). The male terminalia were macerated in hot 85- percent lactic acid for minutes and then were placed in glycerol to be used for making descriptions and figures.

Kustov; 1, Krasnodar Terr., Severskii Distr., near Stavropol skaya St., 13.V.2006, S.Yu. Kustov. In collection of KubSU. Notes. Chvála (1996) described E. adriani from two specimens collected near Kazbegi (Georgia). Later, this species was found in North Ossetia, Adygea, in the territory of the Caucasian Nature Reserve, and in Azerbaijan (Shamshev, 1998). New data show that E. adriani also inhabits the foothills of the northern side of the Caucasian Mt. Range (Severskii Distr., Krasnodar Terr.). The species occurs in forests on mountain slopes in a wide range of altitudes from 150 m (near Stavropol skaya St.) to m (Kazbegi). The flight period is rather long, lasts from early May to mid-july. In male specimens of the series collected in Guzeripl, the katepisternum and meron bear a brownish spot in the ventral part, and the anterior spiracle of the thorax is occasionally brownish yellow in the dorsal part (katepisternum, meron, and spiracles of the thorax are entirely yellow in the holotype). However, the other characters of these specimens are similar to those given in the original description of E. adriani and to those in specimens collected in other places. In addition, females of this series demonstrate no color deviations from the original description. Chvála (1996) and Shamshev (1998) mentioned the black antennae of E. adriani. However, the coloration of the scape and pedicel in this species seems to be widely varying, in particular, in the specimens examined by us, these segments are brown or yellowish brown. Distribution.

Specimens of this series, collected in different areas of Krasnodar Terr. and Georgia, almost do not differ from the original description of E. assalemensis known from the northern slopes of Elbrus Iran (Daugeron, 2000 : 373, fig. 1). However, the differences in the shape of the phallus, found between E. assalemensis and specimens of this series, are so significant and obvious that we distinguish these
7 NEW AND LITTLE KNOWN SPECIES OF THE DANCE-FLY SUBGENUS 1121 specimens into a separate species. In E. assalemensis, the phallus is arcuately, smoothly curved, and that in the new species forms a sharp, ansate curvature in the apical part (Fig. 4). In addition, the lateral process of the cerci is short and wide in E. assalemensis and narrow and digitate in the new species. Already there have been known pairs of the species in the subgenus Xanthempis, which reliably differ only in the shape of sclerites of the male genitalia (especially, sclerites of the phallus). The best known example of such a pair is E. stercorea and E. aemula Loew. The new species is also closely related to E. ponti Chvála, but differs in the yellow spiracles of the thorax, more numerous and finer dorsocentral setae, a different shape of the phallus, and some other characters. The main differences of the new species from E. caucasica Bezzi are listed in the key. Among the European species of the subgenus Xanthempis, the new species is similar to E. algecirasensis Strobl, E. concolor Verrall, E. lagoensis Chvála, and E. nevadensis Chvála, which also possess an entirely yellow scutum and no postsutural supraalar seta. However, in E. algecirasensis, E. nevadensis (both are known only from Spain), and E. concolor (widely distributed in Europe), the occiput bears a dark spot behind the ocellar tubercle. In E. lagoensis (known only from the Italian Alps), the occiput is entirely yellow, and the scape and pedicel are black. In addition, all the species mentioned differ from the new species in the shape of the phallus and other structures of the male genitalia. According to the available data, E. grichanovi sp. n. is distributed from the lower to the upper mountain belts. The flight period originates in May June in the lower mountain belt and in June July in the middle and upper mountain belts. E. grichanovi is endemic to the Caucasus, an Euxian mountain species. Etymology. The species is named after the dipterologist I.Ya. Grichanov (St. Petersburg). Distribution. Russia (Krasnodar Terr.), Georgia. Empis (Xanthempis) kovalevi Shamshev, 1998 Material.

Kovalev. In collection of ZM MSU. Notes. Shamshev (1998) identified as E. concolor several specimens collected in Stavropol and Krasnodar territories and Georgia. However, comparison of the species with the lectotype of E. concolor [from G.H. Verrall s collection deposited in the museum of the University of Oxford) has shown that these specimens belong to a separate species (described in the present communication). Empis pseudoconcolor sp. n. is very closely related to E. concolor, but differs in a smaller size of the dark spot on the occiput, greater number of the dorsocentral setae, and shape of the cerci and phallus. At present, E. concolor is known only from Europe (including the British isles). The new species is also closely related to E. caucasica, E. ponti, and E. grichanovi sp. n., but all these species, in contrast to E. pseudoconcolor, possess an entirely yellow occiput. The same character distinguishes the new species from E. lagoensis. In E. algecirasensis, E. nevadensis, and E. kozlovi Shamshev (known from Transbaikalia), the dark spot on the occiput differs in size and shape. Etymology. The species name points to similarity of the new species to E. concolor. Distribution. Russia (Krasnodar and Stavropol territories), Georgia (Abkhazia).

Tikhomirova. In collection of ZM MSU. Paratype: 1, Northern Caucasus, M. Khatipara, 2000 m, Teberdinskii Nature Reserve, 29.VI E.P. Nartshuk. In ZIN collection. Additional material. 1 specimen (sex?), as holotype. Notes. The new species belongs to a complex of species with an entirely yellow scutum and without postsutural supraalar seta. This complex includes the following Caucasian species of the subgenus Xanthempis: E. caucasica, E. grichanovi sp. n., Е. pseudoconcolor sp. n., E. ponti, E. pavli, and E. zamotajlovi sp. n. The new species can be readily distinguished from E. caucasica, E. grichanovi sp. n., and Е. pseudoconcolor sp. n. in the brownish anterior spiracles of the thorax. Some specimens of E. caucasica possess darkened spiracles, but the occiput in this species is always entirely yellow. The spiracles of the thorax in Empis ponti, E. pavli, and E. zamotajlovi sp. n. are brownish, as those in the new species. However, E. pavli and E. zamotajlovi sp. n. differ from the new species in the entirely yellow occiput, and Е. ponti differs in the sparser and longer dorsocentral setae. Among the European species of the subgenus Xanthempis, the new species can be compared with E. algecirasensis, E. concolor, E. lagoensis, and E. nevadensis. However, in all the species listed, the spiracles of the thorax are yellow. The same character distinguishes the new species from E. kozlovi. The collection of ZM MSU includes one specimen of this species, labeled as the holotype. However, we do not list the specimen among paratypes because of the almost total absence of its abdomen. The species seems to be characteristic of the medium- and high-mountain forest zones of the Central Caucasus. This is a local Euxian endemic to the Caucasus. Etymology. The species name originates from the name of the type locality (Teberda). Distribution. Russia (Karachay-Cherkessia). Empis (Xanthempis) zamotajlovi Shamshev et Kustov, sp. n.

The new species is closely related to E. adzharica known from the Caucasus (Shamshev, 1998). Both the species possess a postsutural supraalar seta and two pairs of brownish spots on the scutum (an unique character of the subgenus Xanthempis). The main differences between these species are listed in the key. Empis zamotajlovi sp. n. occurs in broadleaf and mixed forests, from the foothills to the medium mountain belt ( m). The flight period lasts from late April early May to mid-june. Apparently, E. zamotajlovi is endemic to the northwestern Caucasus, an Euxian species. Etymology. The species is named after A.S. Zamotajlov (Krasnodar), who made a great contribution to organization of investigations of insects of the Caucasus and considerably extended the knowledge of the coleopteran fauna of this region. Distribution. Russia (Krasnodar Terr., Adygea). ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors are grateful to A.L.
