Abstract:

The predaceous midges of the subgenus Isohelea of Brachypogon from Poland are described, illustrated, interpreted, and a key is provided for their recognition. The Polish fauna includes 10 species, five of which are new: Brachypogon (Isohelea) babiogorensis, B. (I.) beskidicus, B. (I.) bialoviesicus, B. (I.) carpaticus, and (I.) zavoicus. Helea thienemanni Mayer is recognized as a junior synonym of Trishelea incompleta KlEFFER (NEW SYNONYMY). Brachypogon (Isohelea) hudjakovi (Remm) is recorded from Central Europe. Brachypogon (Isohelea) perpusillus (Edwards), previously recorded from Poland, apparently is not a member of the fauna of that country. Trishelea incompleta Kiefferis resurrected from synonymy with Psilohelea perpusilla Edwards, and a neotype is designated for it.
