- Chironomus fuscipes Meigen, 1818: 49
- Metriocnemus fuscipes(Meigen); van der Wulp (1875[1]: 136); Sæther (1989[2]: 423, 1995[3]: 58); Wang (2000[4]: 637)
Material examined
CHINA: Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Liupan Mountain, 35°47'22"N, 106°17'36"E, 1 male, 4.viii.1987, light trap, W. Wang. Liaoning Province, Changbai Mountain, 41°2'40"N, 122°37'38"E, 1 male, 1.v.1994, light trap, X. Wang. Tibet, Yadong County, 27°29'5"N, 88°54'25"E, 1male, 29.viii.2003, light trap, H. Xue.
Remarks
This species is easily recognized by the lack of virga, pointed anal point, low inferior volsella with apical hump, LR3 only 0.38–0.39 and AR = 0.9–1.2 (Sæther 1989[2]). The Chinese specimens have a slightly higher AR (1.28–1.42) than that given by Sæther (1989)[2] (AR = 0.86–1.17).
Distribution
The species is recorded from the Nearctic and Palaearctic regions (Ashe and O’Connor 2012[5]). In China the species was collected in Palaearctic China.
