Anthomyza orineglecta Roháček, 2006

Material examined. RUSSIA: Fൺඋ Eൺඌඍ: Primorʼe: Khasansk. rayon, Tsukanevo, 17.vii.1989, 1 ♀, S. Churkin leg. ( ZMUM).

Biology. Based on data from Iturup I. (RඈIJගඹൾκ & PඋඓIJං- ൻඈඋඈ (2016), the species seems to be associated with grass- es and sedges in wetland and marshy rivershore habitats. Adults have been captured only in July and August.

Remarks. This distinctive species is the only member of the A. neglecta group occurring in the Far East. It is closest to A. paraneglecta Elberg, 1968 (cf. RඈIJගඹൾκ 2009) and differs from all Palaearctic relatives by lateral brown markings on the occiput and 1st antennal flagellomere, vittae on mesonotum and brown preabdominal sterna apart from distinctive male and female terminalia (cf. RඈIJගඹൾκ 2006, 2009).

Distribution. Known only from scarce records from continental and insular Russian Far East. The majority of records (including the type locality) are from Iturup I. in the Kuril archipelago (RඈIJගඹൾκ 2006; RඈIJගඹൾκ & PඋඓIJංൻඈඋඈ 2016). Otherwise, it is known only from Sakhalin I. (1 male) and southern Primor’e (1 male, 1 female), see RඈIJගඹൾκ (2009). One more record from Primorʼe is given above.
