Remarks.

This is the first record of this species for Corsica. Becker et al. (1910) reported Dolichocephala guttata (Haliday, 1833), but this record is doubtful as the wing patterns of both species are almost identical and females are indistinguishable. Unfortunately, there is no information on how many specimens of each sex were collected by Becker et al. (1910). As D. guttata and D. oblongoguttata can be easily confused and/or mixed, the occurrence of D. guttata in Corsica needs to be confirmed.
