Key to the ‘group C’ species of Cheilosia View in CoL from Central Asia

Since there have been significant changes in the taxonomy of the Cheilosia species of the ‘group C’ (haired eyes, bare face and hind margin of scutellum without strong setae: subgenera Montanocheila and Cheilosia s. str.) (Barkalov & Peck 1997), we offer a new version of the key that includes all species described since 1997 from Central Asia. Drawings of the structure of male genitalia can be found in the publications indicated for each species.
