Grichanov, Igor Ya. & Selivanova, Olga V., 2022, New records of Dolichopodidae (Diptera) from Yakutia and Far East of Russia, Amurian Zoological Journal XIV (1), pp. 156-167 : 157

1. Amblypsilopus bouvieri ( Parent, 1927)

Material examined. 1♂, Jewish Region, Amurzet , 47.7 ° N, 131.1 ° E, 4– 6.07.2013, Igor Melnik .

Distribution. Type locality: China: Jiangsu, Nanjing. Oriental: China (Fujian, Guizhou); Palaearctic: China (Beijing, Henan, Jiangsu, Shaanxi). First record from Russia.

Notes. The species is very close to Amblypsilopus bouvieri , described from environs of Nanjing (~ 32 ° N), differing in smaller size (3.4 vs. 4–4.5 mm), dorsoapical vs. apical arista, right vs. acute angle between M 1+2 and M 1 ( Parent 1927). Yang et al. (2011) described arista as dorsoapical in this species, while Parent (1927) described it as apical. The northernmost records of this species may belong to an undescribed species.
