G. Weber et G. Weidemann, NIPHADOBATA-LUTESCENS (LUNDSTROM, 1908) AND N-BELGICA (BECKER, 1912) FROM THE SOLLING MOUNTAINS, LOWER SAXONY, FRG (DIPTERA, LIMONIIDAE), Deutsche entomologische Zeitschrift, 40(2), 1993, pp. 259-263
Niphadobata lutescens (LUNDSTROM, 1908) and N. belgica (BECKER, 1912)
males (females could not be distinguished to species) were caught toge
ther by pitfall traps on a meadow 460 m above sealevel in the Solling
during winter 1970/71, 71/72 and 73/74, respectively. At the same time
pitfall trapping in old and young stands of beech and of spruce (390-
500 m above sealevel) provided only N. lutescens with one exception. T
he distribution of both species which were hitherto not distinguished
in most cases is discussed.
