Bechev Macrocera kerteszi Lundström — a little known species (Diptera: Keroplatidae: Macrocerinae) — Macrocera kerteszi was found in Bulgaria. Investigations of the material reveal eight males almost completely corresponding with the original description given by Lundström. Macrocera kerteszi was described by Lundström (1911) after two males from Orsova (Romania) and has not been reported ever since. Investigations of the material collected in different parts of Bulgaria reveal eight males almost completely corresponding with the description of Lundström. Unfortunately, the types of Macrocera kerteszi were destroyed (Dely-Draskovits pers. comm.), which makes the comparison of the Bulgarian material impossible. The specimens from Bulgaria have the same colouring, wing venation and male genital apparatus (see Lundström 1911, Figs 1 and 2). The only difference compared to the description of Lundström is in the correlation of the length of body to the length of anFigs 1-2. Male genitalia of Macrocera kerteszi (Bulgarian specimens); 1: dorsal view; 2: gonostyle, lateral view
