Abstract

Abstract Merodon natans group (Diptera, Syrphidae) taxa are reviewed using an integrative taxonomic approach combining morphological, morphometric and molecular techniques. The approach substantiates recognition of the three species: M. calcaratus (Fabricius, 1794), M. natans (Fabricius, 1794) and M. pulveris Vujić & Radenković in Radenković et al. 2011, and reveals the existence of a new species, M. makrisi Vujić, Radenković & Tot sp. nov., which is described. It also highlights the existence of a series of natans group populations, especially on some of the Mediterranean islands, in the Levant and in the Afrotropical Region, for which more comprehensive data are required to clarify their status. A key is provided to the natans lineage species currently recognised, and preimaginal stages of some natans-group species are described for the first time. Redescriptions for M. calcaratus and M. natans are provided. A neotype is selected for M. natans. Lectotypes are designated for M. annulatus (Fabricius, 1794) and M. melancholicus (Fabricius, 1794). Merodon annulatus is recognised as a synonym of M. natans.

回顾美罗敦纳坦群，描述一个新种，对纳坦谱系中已知物种成虫的关键描述，以及对一些前想象阶段的首次描述

摘要采用形态学、形态计量学和分子技术相结合的综合分类方法，对双翅目，蚜蝇科Merodon natans类群进行了综述。该方法证实了三个物种的识别:M. calcaratus (Fabricius, 1794)， M. natans (Fabricius, 1794)和M. puleris vujiovic & radenkoviki (radenkoviki et al. 2011)，并揭示了一个新物种M. makrisi vujiovic, radenkoviki & Tot sp. nov.的存在。它还强调了一系列纳坦族人口的存在，特别是在地中海岛屿、黎凡特和非洲热带地区的一些岛屿上，需要更全面的数据来澄清其地位。为目前已知的纳坦谱系物种提供了一把钥匙，并首次描述了一些纳坦群物种的前想象阶段。给出了M. calcaratus和M. natans的重新描述。为M. natans选择了一个新型。为M. annulatus (fabicius, 1794)和M. melancholicus (fabicius, 1794)指定了选型。环纹蛇被认为是M. natans的同义词。
