The Palaearctic species of the genus Verrallia (Diptera: Pipunculidae)

S.Yu. Kuznetzov

Abstract. A review of the genus Verrallia Mik is presented with descriptions of nine new species from the North-West of Russia (V. pollinosa, V. verrucosa), the Far East of Russia (V. eximia, V. hodosa, V. kurilensis, V. makarkini, V. sidorenkoi and V. speciosa), and from Switzerland (V. helvetica). The types of V. spectabilis Collin were examined and a lectotype designated. A key to and figures of 18 Plaearctic species of Verrallia are given.
