Bostrichopyga crassipes (Zetterstedt, 1838) View in CoL
Figs 1–3 View Figs 1–3 .
The genus Bostrichopyga was described by Becker [1894] and primarily included only one species in the World — Bostrichopyga crassipes (Zetterstedt, 1838) . The second species, Bostrichopyga borealis Hendel, 1903 , was described by Hendel [1903] from Norway on a single male specimen and after that no specimens were found. Ozerov and Krivosheina [2014a], studying the holotype of B. borealis , discovered that this specimen is conspecific of B.crassipes . Now the genus Bostrichopyga is monotypic with the only species B. crassipes .
Bostrichopyga crassipes View in CoL was registered in Sweden and Finland [ Hackman, 1956], also in Norway [ Hendel, 1903 (as Bostrichopyga borealis View in CoL )]. Gorodkov [1970] mentioned this species for Russia from Kola Peninsula and Yakutia (Verchoyansk), but without specifying the material. Later, in Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera, Gorodkov noted this species from the Europe- an territory of Russia only [ Gorodkov, 1986]. Ozerov & Krivosheina [2014a] did not point this species for Russia because the material mentioned by Gorodkov [1970] seemed to be absent in the collection of the Zoological Institute, St.- Petersburg (ZISP). However during the repeated revision of the ZISP collection in 2018 the specimens of B. crassipes View in CoL from Yakutia (Verchoyansk) were found as well as several specimens from Altay (see below).
B. crassipes View in CoL was known from male specimens only till now; male of B. crassipes View in CoL was fully described and illustrated by Ozerov & Krivosheina [2014a]. The female of B. crassipes View in CoL was unknown. I discovered female among Altay material. Its description is given below for the first time.
