Abstract

The first data on Empidoidea (Diptera) from the Utrish State Nature Reserve (Russia: Krasnodar Territory) resulting from the numerous short visits and analysis of 7 Malaise trap samples during 2013- 2015 are presented. Seventy one species are collected from the following families: Atelestidae – 1, – 26, Hybotidae – 14, Microphoridae – 1, Dolichopodidae – 29. Rhamphomyia maculipennis Zetterstedt, 1842 (Empididae) is recorded from the Caucasus and Russia for the first time. Photographs of some species habitats are provided.

Key words: Empidoidea, fauna, ecology, Utrish Nature Reserve, Caucasus, Russia.

Introduction Mediterranean tertiary relict element. It is The superfamily Empidoidea is the represented by many rare plant species. The largest group among Diptera, comprising some most ancient plant association is Pistachio- 11,500 described species in five distinct Juniper woodlands, where the Mediterranean families: Atelestidae, Empididae, Hybotidae, flora reaches 62% among the plants. The Brachystomatidae and Dolichopodidae sensu vegetation has been partly suffered from lato (Sinclair and Cumming, 2006). Recently, economic activity. The following water Grichanov (2011) proposed the epifamily rank sources are located in the Utrish Reserve: the Dolichopodoidae, which is equivalent to Sukhoi Liman Lake, a creek in the Sinclair & Cumming’s (2006) Dolichopodidae Vodopadnaya Schel (crevice), the Sukko river sensu lato and includes Dolichopodidae sensu and two unnamed coastal lakes, as well as stricto, Microphoridae and Parathalassiinae some temporary streams (State Nature Reserve incertae sedis. Currently, the Caucasian Utrish, 2014). Empidoidea comprise 16 genera and 169 The Empidoidea fauna of the Utrish species of Empididae; 81 species from 18 Nature Reserve is poorly known, with only 16 genera of Hybotidae; 1 genus and 1 species of species reported previously (Kustov, 2015), Atelestidae; 2 genera and 2 species of whereas the data on Dolichopodidae is absent. Brachystomatidae (Kustov, 2014) and about The annotated species composition of 300 species belonging to some 50 genera of Empidoidea is given for the Reserve in the Dolichopodidae (Grichanov, 2007). present paper for the first time and includes The Utrish State Nature Reserve has one species of Atelestidae, 26 of Empididae, been established in 2010, being located in the 14 of Hybotidae, 1 of Microphoridae, and 29 Krasnodar Territory (the North-West species of Dolichopodidae, in all 71 species.

The characterized by hot dry summers and mild local distribution of endemic and recently winters with no permanent snow cover.
