Argyrochlamys impudicus Lamb, 1922

Argyrochlamys impudicus Lamb, 1922: 391 ; Brooks, 2005: Fig. 6 ; Grichanov, 2011: Fig. 61).

MATERIAL. 1 ♂, Iran, Bushehr Prov., Asaluyeh, Nayband, next to Mangrove forest , – 10 m, 27°24´70´´N, 052°40´9.0´´E, light trap, 6–8.XI.2021, H. Naserzadeh leg. ( HMIM) .

DISTRIBUTION. Type locality: Seychelles: Long I., Mahe. Afrotropical: Mauritius, Oman, Seychelles; Oriental :

It is worth noting, that the hypopygiums in species of closely related genus Pseudargyrochlamys Grichanov, 2006 , are also quite similar to each other, being distinguished in the cercus length and length of setae on the distoventral epandrial lobe [ Grichanov, 2004, 2020]. There are some more dolichopodid genera with species indistinguishable by male genitalia, but well differing from their relatives in male secondary sexual characters Chagos Archipelago, India (Gujarat), Sri Lanka; Palaearctic: Iran.

REMARKS. Brooks [2005] mentioned Dyte´s unpublished records of A. impudicus and A. cavicola from Oman. Nevertheless, these records may belong to the new species described in this paper and must be confirmed.
