Abstract

Dolichocephala Macquart is revised for America, north of Mexico. New descriptions and diagnoses of the genus and a previously known species are presented. Six new species are described: Dolichocephala arnaudisp. nov., Dolichocephala borkentisp. nov., Dolichocephala chillcottisp. nov., Dolichocephala teskeyisp. nov., Dolichocephala vockerothisp. nov., and Dolichocephala woodisp. nov. Previous Nearctic records of Dolichocephala irrorata Fallén are based on misidentifications. Dolichocephala bellstedti Joost is newly recorded from Sweden. A key to adults, photographs of wings, illustrations of male terminalia, and known distributions are included.

Résumé

Nous révisons le genre Dolichocephala Macquart pour l'Amérique au nord du Mexique, et présentons de nouvelles descriptions et diagnoses du genre et d'une espèce déjà connue. Nous décrivons six nouvelles espèces: Dolichocephala arnaudisp. nov., Dolichocephala borkentisp. nov., Dolichocephala chillcottisp. nov., Dolichocephala teskeyisp. nov., Dolichocephala vockerothisp. nov. et Dolichocephala woodisp. nov. Les observations sur la présence de Dolichocephala irrorata Fallén dans la région néarctique sont basées sur de fausses identifications. Dolichocephala bellstedti Joost est une nouvelle occurrence pour la Suède. Une clef d'identification pour les adultes, des photographies des ailes, des illustrations des organes terminaux des mâles et les distributions géographiques connues sont incluses.
