摘要:

Twenty‐one species ofChalarusWalker are described from Europe, 11 of them new. The puparial remains of 15 species are described. Type material of all previously describedChalarusspecies exceptC. velutinus(Macquart, 1835) was examined. The status ofC. holosericeus(Meigen, 1824) is revised, andexiguus(Haliday, 1833) is confirmed as a valid species. Lectotypes are designated forC. holosericeusandC. spurius(Fallén, 1816). Five species‐groups are tentatively proposed. Separate keys to females and males are given. The status ofChalarusspecies described from outside Europe is discussed, and two of these,C. kamijoiMorakote, in Morakote&Hirashima (1990) andC. konishiiMorakote, in Morakote&Hirashima (1990), are synonymized withfimbriatusCoe andexiguus(Haliday) respectively. The functional significance of some taxonomic characters, particularly of the eyes and ovipositor, is discu
