Treatment

Limnophora rufimana Strobl, 1893: 272 View in CoL .

Holotype male in BSA (not seen; see Chvála 2008: 227).

Diagnosis. Male dichoptic; 1 pair of reclinate orbital setae; postsutural dorsocentrals 3; haltere pale; last tarsomeres of male fore leg translucent reddish-yellow; mid tibia with 2 posterior setae.

Notes. This Central and South European species has been recorded from Sudan, based on both sexes (Stein in Becker 1922: 78). It is unlikely that Stein would have misidentified the very characteristic males of this species, but nevertheless this Sudan material needs to be checked.
