description: Key to Russian species of Coenosia
An identification key is provided to all the 77 species of the genus Coenosia that are known from Russia. It is based in part on published keys: Hennig (1961a, 1961b, 1962), Huckett (1965), Shinonaga (2003), Xue & Zhu (2006), Sorokina (2009) and Gregor et al. (2016). Macrorchis meditata (Fallén, 1825) is also included in the key because is very close to some Coenosia species (Sorokina 2009), although still considered to be a different genus.
Some species have not been studied and have therefore been included in the key on the basis of their descriptions and/or the diagnostic characteristics proposed in the keys listed above. They are: Coenosia acuminata Strobl, 1898, Coenosia campestris (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830), Coenosia flavissima Hennig, 1961, Coenosia ghilarovi Lobanov, 1988, Coenosia incisurata van der Wulp, 1869, Coenosia mandschurica Hennig, 1961, Coenosia polina Vikhrev, 2009, and Coenosia rhaensis Hennig, 1961.
The distribution of each species (distribution in Russia and general distribution) is given directly in the male key.
