Abstract

The subgenus Brachylimnophila Alexander, 1966 is transferred from Neolimnomyia Séguy, 1937 in Dicranoplzragma Osten Sacken, 1860. The latter is elevated to genus rank. Three European species are redescribed, viz. Dicranophragma (Brachylimnophila) nemorale (Meigen, 1818), comb. n., D. (B.) separatum (Walker, 1848), comb. n. and D. (B.) adjunctum (Walker, 1848), comb. n. Lectotypes of D. (B.) separatum and D. (B.) adjunctum are designated. Male and female terminalia of the three species are illustrated, and their distributions are outlined.
