Sybistroma Meigen, 1824

Grichanov, I. Ya., 2020, A new species of Sybistroma Meigen, 1824 (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) from China, Far Eastern Entomologist 418, pp. 1-8 : 3

Genus Sybistroma Meigen, 1824

Type-species: Dolichopus discipes Germar, 1821 , by subsequent designation

(Westwood, 1840).

NOTES. See Brooks (2005) and Yang et al. (2011) for generic diagnosis and synonymy. Combining species from different genera with Sybistroma, Brooks

(2005: 120) was inaccurate in checking gender endings, using all genders: masculine (eucerus, flavus, inornatus etc.), neuter (obscurellum, sphenopterum) and feminine (setosa). Yang et al. (2011) used masculine gender for Chinese species.

Grichanov & Kazerani (2014) proposed the use of feminine ending, following

Schiner’s and Negrobov’s proposal. I use here the feminine gender for all species names.
