Two new European species of <i>Rhamphomyia</i> subgenus <i>Amydroneura</i> (Diptera: Empididae)

The type species of the subgenus Amydroneura Collin, 1926, viz. Rhamphomyia erythrophthalma Meigen, 1830 (original description), can be distinguished from the other subgenera by the elongate discal medial cell (dm) (cell D), in which the vein forming the upper margin is very faint and is only distinguishable around the middle as a slight depression in the wing surface (Collin 1961: 433). The Palaearctic species currently assigned to the subgenus Amydroneura have been listed by Chvála & Wagner (1989) and by Chvála (2004), as follows (alphabetically): R. bipila Strobl, 1909: lectotype designated by Barták (1984: 338), and the species is redescribed here; R. claripennis Oldenberg, 1922: lectotype designated here, redescribed and illustrated by Barták (1982: 438); R. crassicauda Strobl, 1893: lectotype designated by Barták (1984: 338), redescribed by Barták (1982: 439); R. erythrophthalma Meigen, 1830: lectotype designated by Barták (1989: 218), redescribed and illustrated by Collin (1961: 435) and Barták (1982: 440); R. gibba (Fallén, 1816): syntypes studied by Collin (1961: 435), redescribed and illustrated by Collin (1961: 433) and Barták (1982: 440); R. hirsutipes Collin, 1926: recognizable from the original description; R. pseudogibba Strobl, 1910: holotype revised by Barták (1984: 341), redescribed and illustrated by Barták (1982: 441). Two additional species, R. boreoitalica sp. n. and R. rampazzii sp. n., are described here as new species.
