A review of Palearctic <i>Teuchophorus </i>Loew (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) with an updated catalog and revised key to species
The genus Teuchophorus Loew, 1857 in the Palearctic Region is reviewed. It comprises 21 species including a new species Teuchophorus israelensis Grichanov, Negrobov et Selivanova sp.n. from Israel. The species is very close to T. chaetifemoratus Pollet et Kechev, 2007, differing from the latter in presence of 3-4 strong ventral bristles on mid tibia and ventral row of bristly hairs on hind tibia. An updated catalog and revised key to species of Palearctic Teuchophorus are provided.
