Parydra rufipes (Meigen, 1830)
Ephydra nitida Macquart, 1835 (unclear synonym)

Notiphila guttata brevicornis Stenhammar, 1844
Notiphila brevicornis (Stenhammar, 1844)
Hollmann-Schirrmacher (1998) has examined the type specimens of Ephydra
rufipes and finds that it is conspecific with the Central European
specimens hitherto identified as Hyadina nitida. Thus, Hyadina nitida
does not occur in Central Europe, but Hyadina rufipes does. However,
whether the nominal Ephydra nitida is really a synonym of the nominal
Ephydra rufipes remains unclear, because Hollmann-Schirrmacher could
not study the types of Ephydra nitida. Thus, I list Ephydra nitida as
an unclear synonym and would like to stress that it could be a valid
species.
