Abstract:

Within the subgenus Trichocera (Metatrichocera), the regelationis group of species is distinguished by the shape of the aedeagal complex: an elevated ridge connect­ing the base of paramere and with lateral apodeme, and the very broad parameres. The group comprises, apart from T. (M.) regelationis (L.) and T. (M.) maculipennis MEIGEN, also three species with unspotted wings, T. (M.) annulata MEIGEN, T. (M.) rufescens EDWARDS and T. (M.) michali, sp. nov.
