Treatment

Claraeola halterata (Meigen, 1838) View in CoL Figs 3 View Figure 3 , 9 C–D View Figure 9

Pipunculus halteratus Meigen 1838: 146.

Examined material.

ISRAEL • 1♂; Har Hermon; 31°46'N, 34°37'E; 11 Jun. 2003; A. Freidberg leg.; JSS51645; GB: MN182742; TAU.

Diagnosis.

This species can be recognized by dark legs; surstyli in lateral view with dorsally humped base ( Fig. 3D, E View Figure 3 ); large outer gonopod ( Fig. 3B View Figure 3 ).

Distribution.

Austria, Belgium, France (mainland), Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Israel ( Fig. 10 View Figure 10 ), Latvia, Netherlands, Slovakia ( Kehlmaier 2005a).

Remarks.

Meigen (1838) described the species from Belgium. Due to the loss of all type material, Kehlmaier (2005a) designated a neotype and redescribed the species. The neotype is from Vernditch (southern England) and is deposited in The Natural History Museum, London (England). This species was examined by Skevington and Yeates (2001) for their phylogenetic study of Eudorylini .
