Melanogaster aff. pollinifacies (Violovitsh, 1956)

MATERIAL. Russia: Primorskii krai, Kamenushka Village, 4.VI 1989, 3♀, leg. A .

Shatalkin [ ZMMU].

NOTES. The mistaken determination of these females as Lejogaster nigricans resulted into this species being included in the Far Eastern hoverfly keys (Mutin & Barkalov, 1999).

Later they were redefined by me as the females of Melanogaster pollinifacies (Violovitsh,

1956), and this species was found in Primorskii krai (Barkalov & Mutin, 2018). Hereafter thorough study of the above mentioned specimens made possible to reveal their identity with undescribed species from Japan (Mahoro et al., 2005), which differs from M. pollinifacies by short pilose eyes.
