Introduction
Macronychiinae, according to B. B. Rohdendorf (Ðîäåíäîðô, 1967), is the most plesiomorphic group
of sarcophagids. About 20 species of a single genus, Macronychia, are known from almost all biogeographical
regions, except the Australasian/Oceanian and Madagascan Region. Four special reviews of this subfamily
were published by H. Kurahashi (1972), H. Kurahashi, T. Pape (1996) and Yu. Verves (1982 b, 1983). The
present paper is the complete revision of all the original and known from literature faunistic and ecological
data on this subfamily and includes the first key to all the species of Macronychia of the World, with
descriptions of 4 new species. 269 specimens of Macronyhchia are partly collected by Yu. G. Verves, and
partly have been studied in collections of such foundations (in brackets the abbreviations of names of
foundations in the present article are given): the Natural History Museum, London, United Kingdom
(BMNH); Hungarian National Museum, Budapest, Hungary (HNM); Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology,
Kyiv, Ukraine (SIZK); National Museum, Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (MNB);
Masaryk University, Department of Zoology and Ecology, Brno, Czech Republic (MU); private collection
of Yu. Verves, Kyiv, Ukraine (PCV); Staatliches Museum zur Naturkunde, Stuttgart, Germany (SMNS); Tel
Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel (TAU); National Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C.,
USA (USNM); Zoological Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia (ZISP); Zoological Museum of the Lomonosov
University, Moscow, Russia (ZMUM). New records for local fauna are marked by asterisk (*).

Verves, 1997: 53.
Grey colored, usually medium sized (body length 7–10 mm), sometimes small (to
4 mm) or large (to 13 mm) flies. Sexual dimorphism slight. Frons protruding, parafa-
cial plates broad, setulose; gena high. Head in profile at level of vibrissae distinctly
shorter than at lunula. Proepisternum bare. Flagellomere 1.1–2.2 times as long as pedi-
cel, arista almost bare, microscopically pubescent, thickened in basal 0.4–0.7. Vibrissa
well-developed and situated high above lower head margin. Thorax with several dark
broad vittae on dorsum. Hind spiracle non-operculate, without lappets, with hairs along
circular rim very short ventrally and in form of long bristles anteriorly and posteriorly.
Hind coxa bare; t2 with 2 ad. Claws and pulvilli of both sexes strong and elongate. Wing
hyaline or sometimes partly fuscous, cell r4+5 open at the wing margin; vein r1 bare.
Abdomen grey pollinose, with 3 more or less developed triangular elongate dark spots
on each tergite, sometimes these spots indistinct or absent. Male postabdomen: 6th ter-
gite well-developed, with marginal bristles; epiphallus usually present, sometimes
absent; distiphallus and basiphallus fast united; dorsolateral and medial processes of
paraphallus absent; dorsal protuberance of distiphallus more or less distinct, with spines;
acrophallus short. In females, 10th abdominal tergite smaller, 8th tergite in some species
(subgenus Macronychia s. str.) modified into elongate spine-shaped ovipositor.
The only genus Macronychia belongs to this subfamily.

Nineteen species occur in Holarctic, Oriental, Afrotropical and Neotropical
Regions. Larvae usually develop in stem and stalk nests of sphecid and eumenid wasps,
rarely in terrestrial nests of sphecids, bumblebees and solitary bees. The information on
some Nearctic species of Macronychia bred from adult tabanids has not been confirmed
(Thompson, 1978 a, b; Thompson, Love, 1979).

Flies were reared from the nests of sphecid wasps Oxybelus subcornutus, Ectemnius
(Hypocrabro) paucimaculatus and E. (H.) continuus (Hymenoptera, Crabronidae) in a
rotter pear limb. “Presumably the mother fly deposits a larva in the entrance hole dur-
ing provisioning of the nest. The larva wriggles down to cells and feeds upward or down-
ward on the prey stored for the wasp” (Krombein, 1964).

Dia gno s i s. This species is very similar to Macronychia (s. str.) kanoi Kurahashi,
1972 by postgena and occiput covered with intermixed black and light hairs, but well
differing by partly darkened wings (especially in females), presence of distinct mediomar-
ginal bristles on 2nd tergite, densely greyish white dusted parafacial, and not s-shaped
cerci.
De s c r i p t i o n. Ma l e. Head: frons at level of posterior ocelli 0.31–0.33 times, at
level of antennal base — 0.40–0.44 times as wide as head width. Fronto-orbital plate
and parafacial densely greyish white dusted, frontal vitta in fore part black, its hind part
between the level of upper reclinate orbital setae and orbital triangle densely light
brownish-grey pollinose, at level of anterior ocellus 1.1–1.2 times as wide as one of
fronto-orbital plates, ratio of the width of anterior to posterior 1 : 1, but narrowing at
level of upper reclinate orbital setae. Flagellomere 1.4–1.5 times as long as pedicel,
arista almost bare, microscopically pubescent, thickened in basal 0.4–0.5, antenna
entirely greyish black; palpus slightly widened at apex, brownish black. Proboscis about
3–4 times as long as high. Parafacial at level of antennal base 0.26–0.32 times, gena
0.33–0.37 times as wide as eye height. One regular row of postocular setae present;
outer vertical bristle strong, about 0.5 times as long as inner vertical bristles; ocellar
bristles strong and long, directed latero-anteriorly; 2–3 pairs of fine postocellar bristles
present; orbital bristles strong, 1 + 2, between proclinate and hind reclinate pairs of
them 3–4 erected black hairs; 9–14 pairs of moderately long frontal bristles; fronto-
orbitals covered with moderately long erect black setae. Parafacial with 2–3 irregular
rows of fine black setae along facial ridge. Face and lunula light silver-grey dusted,
genal groove and facial ridge reddish, slightly white pubescent. Vibrissa well developed;
subvibrissal setae black, moderately long and relatively strong. Gena grey dusted, cov-
ered with black setae, postgena and occiput grey pollinose, intermixed with black and
golden white hairs.
Thorax: black, densely light-grey dusted, covered with black hairs; mesonotum
with one median broad and two lateral stripes, median stripe subdivided into three nar-
rower stripes near transverse suture; all these stripes slightly shot from black to light-
brown colors. Scutellum black, with grey pruinescence on apex. Lateral parts of thorax
densely greyish white dusted. acr 0 + 1, dc 2–3 + 3–4, strong; ial 0 + 2–3; prs 1; spal
3–4; h 3–4; ph 2–3; proanepisternum bare; npl 2, in addition to these bristles, noto-
pleural area covered with numerous erected hairs; anepisternum in posterior half cov-
ered with moderately long and dense hairs and a row of 6–8 longer and strong poste-
rior bristles; katepisternum with long anterior and posterior bristles (1 + 1), a patch of
long erect hairs between them; scutellum with long and strong paired crossed preapi-
cal, lateral and basal bristles, apical absent, one pair of discals well developed, much
longer than discal hairs. Fore and hind metathoracic spiracles brownish black.
Wing (fig. 5, 3): hyaline, distinctly obscured in antero-apical part; veins blackish
brown; basicosta and tegula black. Costal spine very short, indistinct; cell r4+5 open; vein
R1 bare, node of vein R4+5 with 1–2 black setae above and below; vein dm-cu slightly
curved, almost straight; M rectangular; the ratio of 3rd and 5th costal sections is
1 : 0.8–1.0; the ratio of length of 2nd and 3rd M-sections is 1 : 0.3–0.4. Thoracic squa-
ma yellowish white, bare on upper surface. Halteres light brown except for whitish
knob.
Legs: claws elongate, slightly curved, as long as 5th tarsomere; fore tibia with 2 p
and 2–3 very short spine-liked ad on basal half; mid tibia with 2–3 ad, 2–3 p and 1 v;
hind tibia with rows of several fine and 2–3 strong ad and pd, and 1 av.
Abdomen: narrow, elongate-conic, black, densely light grey dusted, with three
elongate triangle black spots on 2–5th tergites; 2rd and 3rd tergites with pair of moder-
ately long mediomarginal bristles; 4th and 5th tergites with rows of marginal bristles.
Each of 2d–4th sternites covered with long erect hairs.
226 Yu. G. Verves, L. A. Khrokalo
Genitalia: small, not prominent, 6th tergite, 7th + 8th syntergosternite and epandri-
um black, distinctly grey dusted, with row of mediomarginal bristles. Cerci in profile
hook-like, not s-shaped (fig. 5, 1). Gonites and aedeagus typical for subgenus
Macronychia s. str. (fig. 5, 2).
F ema l e. Very similar to male, but dark spots on abdomen more distinct, and
wing more intensively darkened. Frons at level of posterior ocelli 0.33–0.35 times as
wide as head. Terminalia modified into straight spine-shaped shining black ovipositor.
Length: Male 11.0–12.0 mm, female 9.0–11.5 mm, including ovipositor.
E t ymo l o g y. Species is named in memory of the eminent Ukrainian entomolo-
gist, Professor Vladimir G. Dolin.

D i a gno s i s. Similar to Macronychia (Moschusa) alpestris Rondani, 1865 in very
broad parafacial covered with 4–6 irregular rows of moderately long setae, differing by
mediomarginal bristles on 2nd abdominal tergite absent or indistinct.
De s c r i p t i o n. Male. Head: Frons at level of posterior ocelli 0.33–0.36 times, at
level of antennal base 0.40–0.45 times as wide as head. Fronto-orbital plate and parafa-
cial densely greyish white microtrichose, frontal vitta entirely black, almost non-polli-
nose, at level of anterior ocellus 1.2–1.8 times as wide as fronto-orbital plate, at pos-
terior margin 1.0–1.2 times as wide as at anterior margin. Flagellomere 1.3–1.5 times
as long as pedicel, arista almost bare, microscopically pubescent, thickened in basal
0.3–0.4, antenna entirely greyish black; palpus slightly widened at apex, brownish black.

0.35–0.38 times as wide as, gena 0.36–0.40 times as wide as eye height. 1–2 regular
rows of postocular setae present; outer vertical bristle strong, about 0.5 times as long as
inner vertical bristle; ocellar bristle strong and long, directed latero-anteriorly; 2–3 pairs
of fine postocellar bristles present; orbital bristles strong, 1 + 2–4; 11–15 pairs of mod-
erately long frontal bristles present; fronto-orbital plate covered with moderately long

with a median broad and two lateral stripes, median stripe subdivided into three nar-
rower ones near transverse suture; all these stripes transiting from black at anterior mar-
gin to light-brown in posterior half). Scutellum grey microtrichose, with black lateral
margins. Lateral parts of thorax densely grey microtrichose. acr 3–4 + 2, dc
2–3 + 3–4, strong; ial 0–1 + 3; prs 1; spal 3–4; h 4–6; ph 1–3; proanepisternum

and 2–3 very short spine-like ad on basal half; mid tibia with 2–3 ad, 2–3 p and 1 v;
hind tibia with rows of several fine and 2–3 strong ad and pd, and 1 av.
Abdomen: narrow, elongate conic, black, densely light grey microtrichose, with
three elongate triangle black spots on 2–5th tergites; 2rd tergite without, or with very fine
and short, mediomarginal bristles; 3rd, 4th and 5th tergites with rows of marginal bristles.
Each of 2–4th sternites covered with long erect hairs.

Genitalia: small, not prominent, 6th tergite, 7+8th syntergosternite and epandrium
black, distinctly grey microtrichose, with row of mediomarginal bristles. Cerci, gonites
and aedeagus typical for subgenus Moschusa.
F ema l e. Very similar to male, but dark spots on abdomen less distinct. Frontal
vitta brownish, distinctly grey pollinose, at level of anterior ocellus as wide as one of
the fronto-orbital plates.
Length: Male 9.0–10.5 mm, female 6.0–11.5 mm.
