Abstract

Abstract Forcipomyia chaetoptera REMM, 1962 of the subgenus Trichohelea is reported for the first time in the Polish fauna. As a result the total number of biting midges recorded in Poland has increased to 219. Three species of this subgenus present in Poland (F. eques JOHANNSEN, 1908, F. tonnoiri GOETGHEBUER, 1920 and F. chaetoptera REMM, 1962) are diagnosed and illustrated, and a key for the identification of adults is proposed. Illustrated keys for the identification of the 11 subgenera of Forcipomyia occurring in Poland are also provided.
