Abstract

According to Rozkosny (1987), the genus Coremacera consists of 10 Palaearctic taxa. C. obscuripennis Loew, 1845 and C. confluens Rondani, 1868 are synonymysed with C. marginata Fabricius, 1775, reasons for this are discussed. Generic affiliation of C. turkestanica is changed to Euthycera turkestanica Elberg, 1968 comb. nov.; E. hrabei Rozkosny, 1969 is synonymysed with E. turkestanica. An unclear taxonomic status of C. halensis is discussed. Females of two undescribed Far Eastern taxa of Coremacera are shortly characterised. For the rest six Palaearctic taxa of Coremacera illustrations, distribution and identification key are offered.
