Abstract
This is the first Corsican record of a robber fly in the genus Lasiopogon Loew, 1847. This species is new to science and probably endemic to Corsica. Lasiopogon corsicus n. sp. is described. By its phallus this species resembles L. fourcatensis Timon-David, 1950. The specimens were collected around characteristic mountain wetlands called Pozzines during the first phase of the “Our Planet Reviewed in Corsica 2019-2021” survey. Their discovery illustrates the significant contribution of this kind of scientific survey in an isolated biotope. Relevant literature references concerning the French Lasiopogon fauna are provided.
