Oscinellinae Palearctic Aphanotrigonum Tricimba integrative taxonomy

Abstract

This study implements an integrative taxonomy approach to describe two new species of Swedish grass flies Aphanotrigonum palpalis sp. nov. and Tricimba atipica sp. nov. Morphological and molecular diagnoses plus illustration of key morphological features are included, and amended keys to the Fennoscandian species of both genera are given.
