Recent records of Conopidae from Corsica (Diptera)

Abstract

Details of recent material of nine species of Conopidae from Corsica are set out; Merziella longirostris (Lyneborg, 1962), Physocephala rufipes (Fabricius, 1781) and Zodion cinereum (Fabricius, 1794) are reported for Corsica for the first time. A list of Conopidae published to date for Corsica is provided and critically evaluated. In total some 28 species of Conopidae are reported from Corsica, although the occurrence of four of those species remains doubtful.
