FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK (SERIES NOVA) XXXII. 1. 1979 P- 97-104 A contribution to the revision of the Palaearctic Ephydridae (Diptera) By L. PAPP (Received November 30, 1978) Abstract: Twenty-eight new junior synonymous names were discovered on the basis of studies in the ephydrid collection of the Zoologisches Museum, Berlin, after lectotype designations. A revised list of the European Allotrichoma species is given with notes also on other species. During a study trip to the Zoologisches Museum, Museum für Naturkunde an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, I had the possibility to study the ephydrid collections of LOEW, BECKER and O. DUDA in Berlin. Dr. HUBERT SCHUMANN, the curator of the Diptera collection of the Zoologisches Museum helped and facilitated my work in many ways, for which I should like to express my most sincere thanks. During these studies the separate coUections of H. LOEW, Th. BECKER and O. DUDA were united into one collection, every specimen was removed and this work gave a good possibility to study the type-specimens, though this time-consuming task unabled me to make a complete revision of all these collections. Thus, only the most astonishing and most obvious findings will be discussed below. This paper is not more than a small contribution to the revision of the Palaearctic Ephydridae and there is much work to be done to reach a satisfactory level of knowledge, first of all as regards the genera Notiphila , Hydrellia and Ditrichophora. I had the possibility to spend a day also in the collection of the late Deutsches Entomologisches Institut in Eberswalde. Two new synonyms were discovered by a study of some ephydrid types of OLDENBERG. I am indebted to Prof. Dr. habil. G. MORGE for making this collection available for study. I propose to discuss my data in a systematic order. In every necessary case lectotype designation was made prior to the synonymization. As regards BECKER's types, his collection diary was at my disposal and it was very useful in making conclusions in several cases. PSILOPINAE Chlorichaeta albipennis (Loew, 1848): Stett. ent.

All specimens of the type-series are in good state of preservation on minutia pins. DUDA did not know the species Chlorichaeta albipennis Lw. (loc. cit., p. 11: " Strandi
