= D. cruralis Wahlberg, 1850 Description. Wahlberg (1850: 219). Type specimens. The lectotype (male) and two paralectotypes (females) were designated by Grichanov (2006 b: 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. 1 C). 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 ...
