Abstract. Three new species of the genus Dolichopus:
D. ibarakiensis Negrobov, Kumazawa, Tago, sp. n.,
D. tokyoensis Negrobov, Kumazawa, Tago, sp. n. and
D. vicfursovi Negrobov, Kumazawa, Tago, sp. n. are described from Japan. New species are close to Dolichopus smirnovianus, and can be distinguished from the latter by the following characters: wing stigma elongate and well- developed, hind basitarsus mostly yellow, with 3 strong setae and different morphology of hypopygium.
Резюме. Описано 3 новых вида рода Dolichopus:
D. ibarakiensis Negrobov, Kumazawa, Tago, sp. n.,
D. tokyoensis Negrobov, Kumazawa, Tago, sp. n. и
D. vicfursovi Negrobov, Kumazawa, Tago, sp. n. из Японии. Новые виды близки к Dolichopus smirnovianus, от которого отличаются удлиненной и хорошо развитой стигмой крыла, в большей части желтыми задними базитарсусами с 3 крепкими щетинками и структурой гипопигия.
The genus Dolichopus Latreille, 1796 is the largest genus of Dolichopodidae with more than 600 species worldwide [Yang et al., 2006]. No revision of the genus in the Palearctic Region has been published since the monograph of Stackelberg [1930]. Negrobov et al. [2005] published the latest key to males of Palaearctic species of Dolichopus.
In Japan 10 species of the genus were previously known: Dolichopus bigeniculatus Parent, 1926,
D. crassicosta Parent, 1926, D. gubernator Parent, 1926,
D. kuznezovi Negrobov et al., 2012, D. mediovenus Negrobov, 1977, D. nitidus Fallen, 1823, D. plumipes (Scopoli, 1763), D. ptenopedilus Meuffels, 1982, D. satoi Negrobov, Fursov et Selivanova, 2014, D. triangularis Smirnov, 1948 [Parent, 1926; Stackelberg, 1930; Saigusa,
2008; Tago, 2010; Maslova et al., 2012, 2014; Masunaga, 2014; Negrobov et al., 2014a, b].
The material for this study was collected by T. Tago in 2010 and 2011 from Saitama and Ibaraki Prefectures, and Tokyo Metropolis (Japan). We also investigated the collections of the Osaka Museum of Natural History (Japan) and the Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Kiev, Ukraine).
Holotypes and paratypes of new species are deposited in the Osaka Museum of Natural History (OMNH) and the Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (IZU), some paratypes are deposited in the collections of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ZIN, St. Petersburg, Russia) and Voronezh State University (VSU, Voronezh, Russia).
