Dolichopus mediicornis Verrall, 1875: 32 View in CoL
The status of Dolichopus mediicornis Verrall View in CoL should be re-evaluated. This very rare species has only been found in Britain, France and Sweden ( Negrobov 1991). According to Becker (1917) it has all the characteristic features of a parasitised, demasculinised male. Unfortunately Becker based his description on a Swedish specimen. It is unclear whether he ever saw Verrall's types. Becker's demasculinised Swedish male may not be conspecific with Verrall's species.
