Empis (Empis) alampra Loew

( Fig. 6 )

Empis alampra Loew, 1873b: 37 . Type locality (by lectotype designation): Kazan , Serbia.

References: Kowarz, 1873: 456; Syrovátka, 1991: 256; Pont, 2011: 29.

Material examined. SERBIA: Stara Planina Mt. , Babin Zub, 43.375°N 22.265°E, 1550 m, 1–7.VII.2015, N. Vikhrev (3 ♂, 1 ♀, ZMMU); Crni Vrh Mt., 43.407°N 22.587°E, 800 m, 1–8.v.2015, N. Vikhrev (1 ♂, ZMMU) .

Remarks. This species was described by H. Loew after the material collected by F. Kowarz from “der Alpe Kernecska-Csoka” ( Kowarz 1873), probably from present day Romania. However, the lectotype (housed in ZIN) bears Kowarz’ label “Kasan” ( Syrovátka 1991; Pont 2011), that is Kazan of Serbia. Our data confirm the presence of the species in Serbia.
