= D. cruralis Wahlberg, 1850 Description. Wahlberg (1850: 219). Type specimens. The lectotype (male) and two paralectotypes (females) were designated by Grichanov (2006b: 184). Synonymy. Junior synonym of D. lepidus proposed by Kahanpää (2008) based on nematode infected specimens. Material examined. 1 male: Finland, Kuusamo, Sohramonlampi, (73302:36057), 7.VII.2006, leg. J. Kahanpää, jka06-01579 (MCSN). Type locality. “Habitat ad Quickjock, Lapponiae Lulensis. In palude profundiore infra alpem Snjerak d. 9–20 Jul. 1845 utrumque sexum inveni.” [Kvikkjokk, Norrbotten County (Sweden)] (Wahlberg 1850). = Dolichopus picipes Haliday, 1851 : 157 [misidentification] not Meigen, 1824 (Verrall 1875: 31) = Dolichopus lapponicus Becker, 1917 Description. Becker (1917: 141–142). Type specimens. Becker (1917) solely indicated “ɗ &” in his description, without specifying the number of specimens the name was based upon. We herein designate the lectotype (1 male) and 4 paralectotypes (2 males and 2 females) from Becker's collection from the type locality (see below). Synonymy. Dolichopus lapponicus was first synonymized with D. cruralis by Stackelberg (1930) and later Ringdahl (1949) listed D. lapponicus under several “ monströse Formen ” in his paper, where he was aware of the modifications that altered the appearance of male specimens. Kahanpää (2008) synonymized D. cruralis with D. lepidus based on nematode-infected specimens and proposed the new synonymy of D. lapponicus with D. lepidus . Based on the type material examined here, we confirm this synonymy. Material examined. LECTOTYPE (here designated) male labelled: “Gellivara VII/ 59807.”; “ Type ”; “ Dolichopus / lapponicus / Type Beck. ɗ”; “Dol. cruralis v./ 930 Wahlb./ Stackelberg det. ”; “Zool. Mus./ Berlin” (Fig. 1C). 2 males, 2 females (paralectotypes) “Gellivara VII/ 43495.”; “ Typus ”; “Zool. Mus./ Berlin”. Type locality. “Aus Gellivara, Lappland” [Gällivare, Norrbotten County (Sweden)] (Becker 1917). Remarks. Additional to the type locality, Becker mentioned: ...
