New data on Ceratopogonidae from lake shore habitats in NW Russia (Diptera)

A.A. Przhiboro

Abstract. New records are given for 13 species of Ceratopogonidae belonging to the genera Clinohelea, Mallochohelea, Palpomyia, Bezzia, Alluaudomyia, and Dasyhelea. Palpomyia spinipes (Mg.) and P. terrea (Mg.) are recorded for the first time from Russia, Mallochohelea inermis (Kieffer) and Alluaudomyia mynistensis Remm, from Northern Europe, Bezzia fascispinosa Clastrier and Dasyhelea spiralis Remm, from NW Russia. Ecological information on larval habitats is provided for all the species; all these are shown to develop within the shore zone of lakes.
