INTRODUCTION
There are about 150 species of Lispe La-treille 1796 worldwide. The genus probably originated in the southern part of the Palae-arctic region, where it shows the most impressive diversity. In my previous papers on Lispe (Vikhrev 2012a; 2012b; 2012c; 2014; 2015; 2016; Vikhrev, Ge, Zhang 2016 (available in open access here: https://archive.org/details/ PapersOnDiptera), most part of the world fauna was revised. In the above cited publications, I made taxonomic revisions of species-groups of the genus worldwide, while in the present paper I address the more familiar geographical approach and offer the review of Lispe of the Palaearctic region. It is time to do that because the only revision and a complete key for the Palaearctic Lispe was published almost 60 years ago (Hennig 1960). Hennig&s revision included 44 taxa (41 species and 3 subspecies). Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera (Pont 1986) includes 52 taxa (48 species and 4 subspecies), of which only 39 species I regard as valid presently. Since then, several species were described, synonymized, renamed or recorded for the region; as a result, the total number of Palaearctic taxa considered in the present publication rises to 65 (57 valid species and 2 subspecies; 4 new synonymies; 2 species excluded from the Palaearc-tic fauna). In the list, species and subspecies included in the identification key are shown in bold italics, while those not included are shown in plain italics. The Palaearctic region as assumed in this paper incudes: Europe; N Africa (from Morocco to Egypt) and most of Asia: Central Asia northwards of the southern foothills of the Himalayas at 2000 m asl, SW Asia westward of the Indus River, with most of Arabian Peninsula included except for Yemen, East Asian lowlands northwards of 31°N.
The paper consists of 4 parts:
I. The alphabetical list of species. The majority of them are only briefly mentioned in the list with references to previous papers, where discussions of taxonomy and examined material were given. In some cases, new
examined material with new records from the Palaearctic region added. The minority of the listed species (the greater part of the Lispe caesia group in a broad sense), which I have not considered before, are presented in more detail.
II. Identification key for Lispe of the Palae-arctic region.
III. Discussion of the taxonomy of the L. caesia group and identification key for the group.
IV. An identification key for L. palposa and L. rigida groups.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The specimens examined are deposited in the following museums:
BMNH—Natural History Museum, London, UK;
MBFU—Museum of Beijing Forestry University, Beijing, China;
MNHN—Muséum national d&Histoire naturelle, Paris, France;
TAUI—Tel-Aviv University, Israel;
ZIN—Zoological Institute, Saint Petersburg, Russia;
ZMHU—Museum für Naturkunde, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany;
ZMUM—Zoological Museum of Moscow University, Russia.
Geographical coordinates are given in the decimal degrees format.
The following generally accepted abbreviations for morphological structures are used: f1, t1,f2, t2,ß, t3 = fore-, mid-, hind- femur or tibia respectively; ac—acrostichal setae; dc— dorsocentral setae; prst—presutural; post— postsutural; a, p, d, v = anterior, posterior, dorsal, ventral seta(e).
The abbreviation for the tarsi as tar followed by a pair of digits separated by a hyphen was proposed by Vikhrev (2011): the first digit (1 to 3) gives the leg number and the second digit (1 to 5) the number of the tarsal segment. For example, tar1-4 = 4-th segment of fore tarsus; tar3-1 = hind basitarsus.
Illustrations are original unless otherwise indicated. Since I have to reference numerous figures of this paper as well as those from literature (some of the latter reproduced in the former, with different numeration), to avoid confusion I capitalize the first letter (Fig. or Figs) for figures in this paper but use the lower case letter (fig. or figs) in literature references to figures published elsewhere.

Lispe armeniaca Canzoneri Meneghini, 1972 Figs 1-3
Synonymy. Type locality: Armenia, eastern vicinities of Yerevan («40.1°N 44.6°E). The species was described from 2 females; according to the authors, it is related to L. kowarzi (Canzoneri, Meneghini 1972). Due to kind help of Dr. Marco Uliana, the curator of the Entomology section at the Natural History Museum of Venice, Italy, I received the quality images of the holotype (Figs 1-3), which show that it is female of Coenosia atra. So, Coenosia atra Meigen, 1830 = Lispe armeniaca Canzoneri Meneghini, 1972, syn. nov, this taxon is excluded from the Palaearctic Lispe.

"eastern" frontal pattern. I did not find any reliable character to distinguish West African and Indian females (which I have in large series), males differ as follows: —Vibrissae weak. Surstylus longer and more curved as mammoth tusk (Fig. 14). Sternites 5-6 on internal view as on Fig. 12
......................West African males
—Vibrissae stronger. Surstylus shorter and less curved as elephant tusk (Fig. 15). Sternites 5-6 on internal view as on Fig. 13
.............................Indian males
These differences would be enough to regard L. simonyii as a valid species, but there is a problem. Nobody examined the genitalia of the true L. candicans from the east part of Mediterranean coast (type locality Greece, Aegina Island, 37.7°N 23.5°E, type lost) or of the syn-type of L. simonyii. It is unknown which form inhabits the Middle East. I was able to examine the genitalia of a single male from Nabq in S Sinai. Its sternites 5-6 are of Indian type, but the
surstyli are reduced to small protrusions, quite different from the tusk-shape of both Moroccan and Indian specimens. (Note that Nabq is 1500 km from Aegina and 4500 km from S Morocco.) So, at present our knowledge about the variability of the genitalic structures of this Lispe is absolutely insufficient. For the time being I prefer to regard L. candicans in a broad sense and postpone the decision on the taxonomic status of L. simonyii.

Lispe lanceoseta Wang Fan, 1981 Figs 21-22
Lispe lanceoseta Wang Fan, 1981 (Xue, Zhang 2005; Zhang et al. 2016) Material examined: UZBEKISTAN, Bukhara reg., 65 km SW of Bukhara, 39.305°N 63.873°E, 22 June 2019, E. Makovetskaya, 1$. TAJIKISTAN, Khatlon reg., Pobeda env.,
Kyzylsu R., 37.41°N 69.34°E, 9 June 2010, K. Tomkovich, 2? (zmum). Distribution. Known from the type locality: China, Shanxi pr., Hequ County (39.3°N 111.2°E) and from Tajikistan, Khatlon reg. and Uzbekistan, Bukhara reg. Remarks. Male of L. lanceoseta is unmistakable due to modified mid tibia and hind tarsus, but identification of female is not as easy. Recently Zhang et al. (2016) gave redescription of L. lanceoseta, here I give my redescription to clarify or correct several points.
Male body length 4 mm. Head with frontal triangle and frontal-orbital plates densely greyish-white dusted, border with black frontal vitta very distinct. Frontal triangle reaches fore margin of frons, slightly convex in apical half, frontal vitta narrow all along, narrower than fronto-orbital plates. Antenna dark, densely grey dusted, postpedicel and arista remarkably short: postpedicel hardly longer than pedicel, arista as long as width of post-pedicel. Aristal hairs longer than the width of postpedicel. Vibrissae absent. Palpi whitish-yellow. Thorax densely brownish-grey dusted. Anepimeron with 4-5 hairs, meron bare, dc 2+4 (not 2+3 as in Zhang et al. (2016)), rather weak. Legs dark except for yellowish knees. Ventral spines on femora absent. Hind coxa without seta on posterior margin. t1 without submedian setae; t2 with 1 ad and 1 pd both weak and short; at apex t2 with modified wil-lowleaf-like, elongated av and pv setae (Fig. 21);f3 in basal 3/4 with a row of 6-7 av setae (longer than femur width); tar2-2 to tar2-5 yellow, especially on inner surface; t3 with 1 ad; tar3-1 modified, widened and flattened, with pointed apex; tar3-2 narrowed basally (Fig. 22). Abdomen evenly grey dusted with black apex.
Female differs as follows. Body length 5.5 mm. Frontal triangle and frontal-orbital plates yellowish dusted, border with black frontal vitta less distinct. Postpedicel and arista longer than in male: postpedicel 1.5x as long as pedicel, arista as long as length of postpedicel. Vibrissae medium strong. Tibiae yellowish at base. t2 without modified setae at apex. f3 with 2 av in apical 1/3. Hind tarsus not modified. Apex of abdomen not black.
Figs 18-22. L. bengalensis, male (18-20): 18 — dorsal view; 19 — lateral view; 20 — head; L. lanceoseta, male (21-22) (from Zhang et al. 2016): 21 — mid leg; 22 — hind leg Рис. 18-22. L. bengalensis, самец (18-20): 18 — вид сверху; 19 — вид сбоку; 20 — голова; L. lanceoseta, самец (21-22) (из Zhang et al. 2016): 21 — средняя нога; 22 — задняя нога
The relationship of L. lanceoseta is not clear. Zhang et al. (2016) placed it in the L. caesia group. Slightly broadened frontal triangle; modified tar3-1 and bare meron provide formal reasons to agree with this opinion. However, the bare inner margin of hind coxa; the absence of av seta(e) on t3 and velvety black postabdomen in male indicate possible relation to the L. palposa group. So far, I am inclined to follow Zhang et al. (2016) opinion.

According to the description (Shinonaga 2010, 103 and Fig. 35) L. albipuncta entirely fits L. leucospila with a reduced wing pattern. According to the discussion in Vikhrev (2014) the reduced wing pattern is typical for specimens of L. leucospila from the western parts of the range (India: Gujarat and Rajasthan), so Lispe albipuncta Shinonaga, 2010 = Lispe leucospila Wiedemann, 1830 syn. nov.

Discussion. In previous publications (Vikhrev 2012c; Vikhrev 2014) I didn&t agree with synonymy (Hennig 1960) L. ochracea of described from Sokotra and the Oriental L. bivittata. However, I considered this taxon
under the name L. subbivittata because the type female of L. ochracea was not found in Vienna. While working on this paper, I was again faced with the need to somehow solve this problem and now I decided to propose the synonymy Lispe ochracea Becker, 1910 = Lispe subbivittata Mou, 1992 syn. nov. First, Becker (1910) in his description makes it clear that the type female L. ochracea has characteristic submedian av seta on f3. Second, the type material of L. subbivittata was not re-examined after the description as well. Distribution. Widely distributed in Palaearctic from Egypt to NE China (Liaoning), also recorded from Saudi Arabia, Oman and Iran. Afrotropical records: Ethiopia, Sudan, Yemen. In the Oriental region is common in India: Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Orissa, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand states. In Uttarakhand L. ochracea is sympatric with the related L. bivittata.

Remarks. I found some errors in the redescription of L. patellitarsis given in Zhang et al.

Synonymy. Lispe hirsutipes Mou, 1992 was described from China, Liaoning prov. According to Zhang et al., 2016, they neither got the type specimens from Jinzhou Municipal Health and Anti-epidemic Station, where the type material should be deposited, nor could contact the author. In the MBFU collection there is a series of L. patellitarsis from Liaoning prov., Jinzhou, Longqi Bay, i.e. from the type locality of L. hirsutipes. The only considerable difference between these taxa is that in L. hirFigs 29-30. 29—L. nivalis, male; 30—L. rigida, male Рис. 29-30. 29 — L. nivalis, самец; 30 — L. rigida, самец
sutipes the wing is described as clear at the apical part. Even if so, the wing pattern of the related L. flavicornis shows the same variability: males with either spotted and clear wings being recorded. That is why I regard Lispe patellitarsis Becker, 1914 = Lispe hirsutipes Mou, 1992 = syn. nov.

The taxonomy of the above listed subspecies L. parcespinosa was discussed in Vikhrev (2015). Comparing the variability in L. parcespinosa with that in other Lispe, it seems more reasonable to regard it as a single species, and in the present paper I treat L. parcespinosa in this broad sense.

III. Lispe caesia group
I only partly considered the Lispe caesia group in previous papers. The L. caesia group was proposed by Hennig (1960) for 6 Palae-arctic taxa: L. caesia caesia Meigen, 1826; L. caesia microchaeta Seguy, 1940; L. candicans Kowarz, 1892; L. halophora Becker, 1903; L. leucocephala Loew, 1856 and L. odessae Becker, 1904. Hennig (1960) wrote that the L. caesia group is one of the most clearly bordered and pointed out its following diagnostic characters: (1) frontal triangle broad, with convex margins; (2) femora with ventral rows of short spines; (3) abdomen with characteristic pattern. However, there is an evident discrepancy in Hennig&s approach to the L. cae-sia group: he included in the group L. leuco-cephala, which has neither spines on femora, nor the typical abdominal pattern, while he did not include in the group L. marina, which has all the diagnostic characters except broad frontal triangle. In the recent review of the L. caesia group, Zhang et al. (2016) included in the group several other species with narrow frontal triangle (again except for the unlucky L. marina), but did not give any substantiation of this. Zhang et al. (2016) included in the L. caesia group the following Palaearctic taxa: 5 out of 6 Hennig&s taxa (except for L. odessae previously synonymized to L. caesia) and 6 new taxa: L. aquamarina Shinonaga Kano, 1983; L. flavicornis Stein, 1909; L. hirsutipes Mou, 1992; L. lanceoseta Wang Fan, 1981; L. palawanensis Shinonaga Kano, 1989; L. patellitarsis Becker, 1914. Later, Chinese colleagues and I (Vikhrev et al. 2016) refuted the groundless synonymy of L. odessae, but synonymized L. c. microchaeta to L. c. caesia. In the present paper L. palawanensis known from Philippines is excluded as a non-Palae-arctic species and L. hirsutipes is excluded as synonym. Three species, L. bengalensis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830; L. marina Becker, 1913 and L. astakhovi sp. nov. are included here in the L. caesia group for the first time. Thus, in the present paper 11 Palaearctic species of the L. caesia group are considered in total.
I suppose that characters offered by Hennig for the L. caesia group are really apomorphic, because they do not occur among other species of Lispe. I add one more character: hind coxa with seta on inner posterior margin. (It should be mentioned that the seta on the hind coxa occurs also in three species of Lispe belonging to the L. palposa group.) This seta on the hind coxa is absent in several species distributed in Australia and Sundaland and in Paleotropical L. bengalensis. Pont (2019) proposed to include several Australian species with bare hind coxa in a separate L. cana group, but I am inclined to regard these Lispe as belonging to the L. caesia group. According to so far unpublished molecular data on phy-logeny of Lispe obtained by Zhang Dong, his co-workers and me, at least L. bengalensis is closely related to other Palaearctic species of the L. caesia group.
So, the L. caesia group has the following set of characters:
in Lispe, the only other example of obligatory predation on Diptera imago is L. geniseta Stein, 1909 (Vikhrev 2016). Typically, Lispe hunt on soft insect larvae (like Chironomi-dae larvae) or (and) feed on invertebrate carrion. The active hunting is closely associated with the presence of ventral spines on femora; the stronger development of spines in female sex shows that its function is not mating but hunting.
Only the minority of species of the L. cae-sia group kept all these characters, while the majority lost some of them.

IV. Lispe palposa and Lispe rigida groups
The identification key for L. palposa and L. rigida groups is also placed in the separate chapter for the following reasons:
a. These groups have characteristic tibial chaetotaxy (t2 with 1 or more ad seta(e); t3 with 1 ad seta, without av or pd) which differs from those of other Lispe.
b. L. palposa and L. rigida groups include together 22 taxa, i.e. more than 1/3 of all Palaearctic Lispe. The presence of these taxa in the general key would make it too large and inconvenient for using.
c. The general key is organized for both sexes together, while in the key for L. palposa and L. rigida groups males and females should be considered separately.
