description: Dolerus liogaster Thomson, 1871 Fig. 16A, C, E, H, K, N, Q Dolerus liogaster Thomson, 1871: 286. &amp;female;, &amp;male;. Syntypes. Type locality: Sweden. Lectotype designated below. Dolerus schneideri Kiaer, 1898: 62-63. &amp;female;, &amp;male;. Syntypes. Type locality: Tromsø. Lectotype designated below. Dolerus truncatus? Dolerus truncatus Lacourt, 1988: 233-235. &amp;male;. Holotype. Type locality: France, Alpes-Maritimes, Vallée de la Minière. CTN. Type material examined and taxonomic notes. <i>Dolerus liogaster</i> Thomson, 1871. Lectotype &amp;male; hereby designated, labelled: "Lp. in." [?Lapland], "LECTOTYPUS [printed] <i>Dolerus liogaster</i> &amp;male; Thomson, 1871 [handwritten in block letters] design. 1999 M. Heidemaa and M. Viitasaari [printed]" [red], " <i>Dolerus liogaster</i> &amp;male; [handwritten] M.Heidemaa det. [printed]" [white]. Penis valves dissected, pinned with the specimen. Paralectotypes: 2&amp;female;, 1&amp;male;. All in MZLU. <i>Dolerus schneideri</i> Kiaer, 1898. Lectotype &amp;female; hereby designated, labelled: “Tromsö 22.6.77", "lget expl" [spelling doubtful], "Ex coll. H. Kiaer" [printed], “261” [yellow], "LECTOTYPUS [printed] <i>Dolerus schneideri</i> &amp;female; Kiaer, 1898 [handwritten in block letters] design. 1999 M. Heidemaa and Viitasaari" [printed (excl. year), red], " <i>Dolerus liogaster</i> &amp;female;M. Heidemaa det." [printed label]. Ovipositor dissected and pinned with the specimen, right antenna missing. Paralectotypes: 2&amp;female;. All in ZMUN. The synonymy of <i>D. schneideri</i> with <i>D. liogaster</i> was first proposed by Lindqvist (1943). Treated here as a color form of <i>D. liogaster</i>, but still separated in the key, because the melanic color form of <i>D. liogaster</i> also has black legs, and <i>D. schmidti</i> has a color form with a red-marked thorax. Specimens resembling <i>D. schneideri</i> are also known from the mountain areas of Central Europe, e.g. from Switzerland at altitudes of 1500-1700 m (Benson 1961). <i>Dolerus truncatus</i> Lacourt, 1988. The holotype (CTN) was studied. Its clypeus emargination looks as if it is abnormally developed. The penis valve (Fig. 18) appears to be somewhat distorted, perhaps during preparation, but resembles the valve of <i>D. liogaster</i>. Tentatively, we treat <i>D. truncatus</i> as a junior synonym of <i>D. liogaster</i>.
