Rhamphomyia (Dasyrhamphomyia) hovgaardii Holmgren (Figs 8–10) Rhamphomyia hovgaardii Holmgren, 1880: 21. Type-locality: not given [Novaya Zemlya Islands, Arkhangelskaya Province, Russia] (Shamshev & Sinclair, 2018: 310).

Incorrect subsequent spelling of zaitzevi Becker, 1915 (Chvála & Wagner, 1989: 292; Yang et al., 2007: 191; Shamshev, 2016: 84). Note on synonymy. Rhamphomyia zaitzevi: Becker (1915: 54) described this species after two males and six females with the following label details: “aus der Tundra des Fl. Kara, 13, 21. u. 22.vii”. The material was collected by Russian entomologist V.F. Zaitzev during the Russian Kara Expedition of 1909 to the polar area north of the Ural Mountains (Sorokina & Pont 2015). In the Empididae Collection of ZIN (St. Petersburg), there are six syntypes: one male (13.vii) and five females (4–21.vii, 1–22.vii). The deposition of two additional syntypes (1 male and 1 female) is unknown (possibly in Berlin). Among available syntypes a male was separated and designed as the lectotype and six specimens labelled as paralectotypes. It should be noted that the original data of collecting (13.vii) was according to the old Julian calendar (Becker et al. 1915: 4, footnote), which was retained in Russia until 1918, and that it was therefore 13 days ...
