Sciophila hirta Meigen, 1818 MATERIAL. 1 ♂, Ladannah, 6– 14.07.1999 (FRIP). DISTRIBUTION. Holarctic. Detailed distribution is unclear due to questionable identity of older records [Kjaerandsen et al., 2007a]. REMARKS. Closely related species S. parviareolata Santos Abreu, 1920 has been reported from N Europe [Kjaerandsen et al., 2007b]. We have examined several other specimens from N Russia, which could not be clearly recognized either as S. hirta or as S. parviareolata using characters indicated by Chandler [2001]. It was pointed earlier that the validity of S. parviareolata is questionable [Kjaerandsen et al., 2007b], though there may be additional species in this complex. ... : Published as part of Polevoi, A.
