28658781FFE0D856FD35FBABF018FC45.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Named after the type locality. The name is a noun in apposition.	en	Jonassen, Terje, Andersen, Trond, Salmela, Jukka, Suuronen, Anna, Vaesoja, Matti (2021): Six new species of Empididae and Hybotidae (Diptera, Empidoidea) from Fennoscandia.

28658781FFE0D856FD35FBABF018FC45.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Due to the presence of an r 2 + 3 – r 4 crossvein, Clinocera alta would run to C. nivalis (Zetterstedt, 1838) in the available keys (e. g. Niesiołowski 1992). In C. nivalis, however, the crossvein is closer to the wing tip, thereby forming an upper marginal cell shorter than the lower marginal cell. In C. alta sp. n. both cells are subequal in length. It must be noticed that these crossveins sometimes appear in certain specimens, and in others of the same species not. In a single specimen of C. alta this crossvein is lacking. The furnishing of the entire inner surface of the male clasping cercus with short dentiform setae may be regarded as an autapomorphic character.	en	Jonassen, Terje, Andersen, Trond, Salmela, Jukka, Suuronen, Anna, Vaesoja, Matti (2021): Six new species of Empididae and Hybotidae (Diptera, Empidoidea) from Fennoscandia.

28658781FFE5D853FD14FB2BF1B4FCE5.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. The species belongs in the Platypalpus ciliaris - group, but differs clearly from other related species by having numerous acrostichals and dorsocentrals together with a largely polished pleura. Further, the apical spur of mid tibia is longer than in other known European species of this group. The extensive silvery pile on front tibia is also a good characteristic; to a lesser extent, this trait can also be seen in two other Fennoscandian species, P. ciliaris (Fallén, 1816) and P. mikii (Becker, 1890).	en	Jonassen, Terje, Andersen, Trond, Salmela, Jukka, Suuronen, Anna, Vaesoja, Matti (2021): Six new species of Empididae and Hybotidae (Diptera, Empidoidea) from Fennoscandia.

28658781FFE5D853FD14FB2BF1B4FCE5.taxon	description	Description. Male. Body length 2.8 mm, wing length 3.3 mm. Head. Black, frons and occiput polished, dusted behind ocelli. Frons broad, about 1.5 times as broad as length of second antennal segment, widening above. Face linear, dusted. Clypeus narrow, polished, as long as, or even longer than face. Ocellar bristles minute, white. Vertical bristles not discernible. Pubescence on head everywhere pale. Antennae black. Third segment short, a little longer than broad, arista about twice as long as third segment. Palpus yellow with white pubescence, moderately large, sub-triangular, broadest at tip, and with a single long hair at lower corner. Proboscis brownish black. Thorax. Black, mesonotum completely polished, humerus, scutellum and narrow lateral margins dusted. Pleura largely polished, leaving prothoracic episternum, pteropleuron and front part of hypopleuron dusted. Hairs and bristles pale. Acrostichals small but distinct, irregularly six-serial for most of the length. Between posterior acrostichals and scutellum there is a broad band of fine but distinct, uniformly distributed hairs that continues forwards on both sides of thorax. These hairs are subequal to the row of dorsocentrals, making the dorsocentrals difficult to distinguish. This ample pilosity leaves only an irregular strip between acrostichals and dorsocentrals bare. Notopleuron with single bristle easily distinguished from surrounding pilosity. Humeral bristle lacking. Scutellum with 4 bristles, apical pair rather long, the other pair less than half as long. Legs. Yellow including coxae, but darker in distal half of mid- and hind femur, mid tibia brownish with silvery pile apically. All tarsi clearer yellow than corresponding tibiae, last tarsal segments darker in distal half. Fore femur slightly thickened. Mid femur clearly more swollen than fore femur, with two rows of spine-like bristles ventrally, posterior row with strongest bristles. No posteroventral bristles. Fore tibia slightly spindleshaped, dorsally with silvery pile covering most of basal half. Mid tibia almost straight, with moderately large, hooked apical spur about as long as the width at apex. Hind femur and tibia long and slender. Wing. Faintly brownish with light brown veins. Crossveins closing basal cells near contiguous. Veins R 4 + 5 and M only slightly curved, running parallel for most of their length. Halter pale, squama light brownish with pale hairs. Abdomen. Black, shining, with pale pubescence. Hairs sparsely distributed all over the abdomen, hairs longer along posterior margin of sternum eight. Terminalia (Figure 3 A – B) moderately large. Left epandrial lamella rather narrow with extensive dorsal pubescence around the tip. Cerci small, hidden between lamellae. Female. Very similar to male. Apical two abdominal segments and small cerci dusted.	en	Jonassen, Terje, Andersen, Trond, Salmela, Jukka, Suuronen, Anna, Vaesoja, Matti (2021): Six new species of Empididae and Hybotidae (Diptera, Empidoidea) from Fennoscandia.

28658781FFE9D85FFFCCFF2BF036FD85.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. The species belongs in the Platypalpus ciliaris - group, and is most similar to P. confinis (Zetterstedt, 1842). However, the two species can easily be separated as the male terminalia of P. parvilamellatus sp. n. is much smaller than in P. confinis. Particularly the left epandrial lamella is very small compared to the lamella in P. confinis. In addition, mid tibiae appear to be more curved in both sexes compared to P. confinis, with a larger apical spur. Further, P. parvilamellatus has a broader face than P. confinis, with the polished part of clypeus much broader and diamond-shaped, whereas this polished area is narrow and cigar-shaped in P. confinis.	en	Jonassen, Terje, Andersen, Trond, Salmela, Jukka, Suuronen, Anna, Vaesoja, Matti (2021): Six new species of Empididae and Hybotidae (Diptera, Empidoidea) from Fennoscandia.

28658781FFEBD85EFFCCFD0BF671FE65.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. The combination of two pairs of vertical bristles, dusted mesonotum, moderately long and pointed mid-tibial spur, biserial acrostichals and yellow thoracic bristles suggest an affinity to Platypalpus balticus Kovalev, 1971, but P. tuberculatus sp. n. appears to have smaller palpus and lacks the sharply defined annulations of the tarsi. There are also differences in the terminalia, including a notched right margin of the left epandrial lamella in P. balticus (see Kovalev 1971: p. 119), this margin being rather straight in P. tuberculatus.	en	Jonassen, Terje, Andersen, Trond, Salmela, Jukka, Suuronen, Anna, Vaesoja, Matti (2021): Six new species of Empididae and Hybotidae (Diptera, Empidoidea) from Fennoscandia.

28658781FFEBD85EFFCCFD0BF671FE65.taxon	description	Description. Male. Body length 2.5 mm, wing length 2.0 mm. Head. Black, greyish dusted. Frons about as broad as the distance between hind ocelli, only slightly narrowing in front. Face slightly narrower than frons, greyish dusted. Clypeus polished black. With 2 pairs of vertical bristles, postocular pubescence light brownish to whitish. Antenna black. Palpus yellow, very small and oval. Proboscis brownish black. Thorax. Black, mesonotum completely dusted, pleura largely dusted, but sternopleuron with anterior polished patch. Acrostichals small, biserial, distance to dorsocentrals somewhat longer than distance between the rows of acrostichals. Dorsocentrals small, not longer than acrostichals, seemingly multiserial, some pubescence similar in size to the dorsocentrals continuing to the sides of mesonotum. With 1 humeral bristle and 2 notopleural bristles, the latter surrounded by some longish pubescence. Scutellum with four bristles. All bristles on mesonotum light brownish. Legs. Yellow including coxae, tarsi darker towards apex in all legs. Fore femur slightly thickened. Mid femur not very broad, but clearly more swollen than fore femur, with two rows of spine-like bristles ventrally. Row of whitish posteroventral bristles present, about as long as 1 / 3 of the thickness of femur. Mid tibia with sharply pointed apical spur, slightly longer than width of apex of mid tibia. Mid trochanter ending in a blunt, flattened, spine-like tubercle at the point where it joins the coxa, about as long as the spine on mid tibia. Wing. Slightly brownish with light brown veins. Crossveins closing basal cells separated for about twice the length of vein r-m. Veins R 4 + 5 and M straight, almost parallel, but slightly converging at wing tip. Halter pale, squama yellow with pale hairs. Abdomen. Brownish black, shining, with some slight dusting laterally on the tergites. Abdominal pubescence pale. Terminalia (Figure 6 A – B) of moderate size. Left epandrial lamella with dense row of longish hairs along entire straight hind margin. Female. Unknown. DNA barcoding. The DNA barcode clearly separate the new species from other barcoded members of the genus Platypalpus. It is the unique member of BIN BOLD: ADD 3085 and the distance to the nearest Hybotidae species is 11.69 %. However, far from all Platypalpus species in Europe have been barcoded.	en	Jonassen, Terje, Andersen, Trond, Salmela, Jukka, Suuronen, Anna, Vaesoja, Matti (2021): Six new species of Empididae and Hybotidae (Diptera, Empidoidea) from Fennoscandia.
