Diamesa cinerella Meigen, 1835 View in CoL

Diamesa cinerella Meigen, 1835 View in CoL in GISTL (1835: 66). Diamesa waltlii Meigen, 1838: 13 View in CoL .

Material examined. 2 specimens in isinglass, now mounted on slides: one ♁ and one ♀ labelled: ‘ D. waltli Mg. // Hockai Hautes Fagnes, 11. VI. 1912 // R.I.SC.N.B. 18.073 / Coll. et det. M. Goetghebuer’.

Comments. The male fits well with the species description of D. cinerella . At this time, it is impossible to confirm species identity of the female. SERRA- TOSIO (1971: 222) described a female from a copula with a male, and WILLASSEN & SERRA- TOSIO (1988: 92) even described the female lectotype. Despite these descriptions the females within the D. cinerella group cannot be separated at present.
