Cheilosia (Taeniochilosia) sahlbergi Becker, 1894

Chilosia sahlbergi Becker, 1894: 354 .

Chilosia sahlbergi – Stackelberg 1970: 58. — Peck 1988: 115. — Mengual et al. 2020: 26. — Speight 2020a: 50.

Genetics

We included three DNA barcodes of C. sahlbergi from Europe in our NJ tree, which cluster with high support (BS = 99.9%) with the barcodes of C. vicina, C. impudens, and C. nigripes .

Remarks

In this publication we describe C. ouwehandae sp. nov., which is close to Cheilosia sahlbergi . We have not seen real Cheilosia sahlbergi from the Caucasus, the species is not in the review of the Caucasian Cheilosia in Barkalov (1993) and we did not find any published record in the literature. Thus, we think that previous reports could refer to C. ouwehandae, and the name C. sahlbergi is removed from the Caucasian checklist.

Distribution

Europe, European parts of Russia.
