Remarks

Bradysia quercina Menzel & Köhler, 2014 was described as belonging to the Bradysia praecox group on the basis of a number of specimens from Norway, Italy, Sweden and Switzerland ( Köhler et al. 2014), and its affinities were thoroughly discussed. To compare to the figures of the holotype provided in the original description, we present drawings of the hypopygium and gonostylus of a paratype from Sweden ( Fig. 7 ).
