Haenni, Jean-Paul, 2009, The Scatopsidae (Diptera) of Sardinia, with description of a new species *, Zootaxa 2318, pp. 440-449 : 441

1. Anapausis sp. gr. soluta (Loew)

Records. SAR 1: 30.IX–17.X.2005, 1 ♀ ( CNBFVR) .

Notes. This specimen clearly belongs to the soluta -group recently revised by Chandler (1999), who elevated to specific level several older “varieties” of A. soluta . The features of the terminalia of the above Sardinian specimen differ from those of all known species and it may thus belong to a new, still undescribed taxon. However, since identification of females alone is generally problematic in the genus Anapausis Enderlein , the description should await discovery of additional material of the male sex.
