Abstract

The world fauna of the Lispe leucospila group, L. tentaculata group, L. nivalis group, L. scalaris group, L. nana species complex, L. kowarzi species complex, L. desjardinsii group and L. longicollis group are considered. Five new species L. medvedevi sp. nov., L. tomkovichi sp. nov., L. martirei sp. nov., L. triangularis sp. nov. and L. dmitryi sp. nov.; one subspecies L. fulvitarsus asiatica ssp. nov. and hitherto unknown males of Lispe nubilipennis Loew, 1873 and Lispe flavipes Stein, 1913 are described. Eight new synonymies are proposed: Lispe leucospila (Wiedemann, 1830) = Lispe eidsvoldica Malloch, 1925, syn. nov.; Lispe irvingi Curran, 1937 = Lispe mapaiensis Paterson, 1953, syn. nov. = Lispe andrewi Paterson, 1953, syn. nov.; Lispe pectinipes Becker, 1903 = Lispe paraspila Zielke, 1972, syn. nov.; Lispe tentaculata (De Geer, 1776) = Lispe alpinicola Zhong, Wu & Fan, 1981 syn. nov.; L. scalaris scalaris Loew, 1847 = Lispe scalaris ssp. maroccana Canzoneri & Meneghini, 1966, syn. nov.; Lispe Latreille, 1796 = Lispacoenosia Snyder, 1949, syn. nov.; Lispe fulvitarsus (Snyder, 1949) comb. nov. = Lispe asetopleura Vikhrev, 2012 syn. nov. The identification keys for considered species groups, species complexes and proposed here L. tentaculata supergroup are given.
