Rhamphomyia ( Pararhamphomyia ) nordqvistii Holmgren (Fig. 38) Rhamphomyia nordqvistii Holmgren, 1880: 23. Type locality (by lectotype designation): Novaya Zemlya, Arkhangelskaya Province, Russia.

Rhamphomyia ( Pararhamphomyia ) eunordquisti Frey, 1922: 41 (as var. of R . obscura Zetterstedt). Type localities: “von Nord-Sibirien (Dudinka) und Kamtschatka ”, Russia. Other references: Melander, 1928: 201 (catalogue); Frey, 1955b: 490 (revision); Chvála & Wagner, 1989: 303 (catalogue); Yang et al ., 2007: 174 (catalogue). Rhamphomyia ( Pararhamphomyia ) eunordqvisti Frey: Frey, 1935: 2 (expedition results). Recognition. This species remains known by the female sex only. Small (wing length of lectotype 3.2 mm) blackish flies (Fig. 38); thorax black setose, upper proepisternum in front of spiracle with 3 short setae; scutum brownish grey pruinescent; main mesonotal setae fine, hardly distinguishable, 4 npl, 6 sctl (4 stronger), presutural dc rather long, 2–3-serial, acr biserial; legs brownish, with simple setae, fore coxa with fine setae anteriorly; wing uniformly brownish infuscate, no distinct basal costal seta, CuA+CuP incomplete, axillary incision right-angled, halter brownish; abdomen dark brown, faintly greyish pruinescent, subshiny (lateral view), with brownish setae (extracted from Shamshev & Sinclair 2018: 313). Distribution. This species remains known only from Novaya Zemlya. In addition to the type material, Sack (1923: 7) noted a female of R . nordqvistii among his specimens of Empididae collected from Krestovy Island (Novaya Zemlya). However, this record needs verification because the original description of R . nordqvistii is noninformative and Sack never examined the types of this species. Also, Frey (1915: 8) identified as R . nordqvistii several females from the delta of Lena River (Yakutia). At least one specimen of this series is present in ZIN and it belongs to a different species. Remarks. Shamshev & Sinclair (2018) have already noted that the synonymy of R . eunordquisti with R . nordqvistii is doubtful. : Published as part of Shamshev, Igor V., Sinclair, Bradley J. & Khruleva, Olga A., 2020, The empidoid flies (Diptera: Empidoidea, exclusive of Dolichopodidae) of the Russian Arctic islands and Svalbard Archipelago, pp. 1-75 in Zootaxa 4848 (1) on pages 37-38, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4848.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4406987 : {"references": ["Holmgren, A.
