All the collected species (20) were recorded for the first time in Altai Territory of Russia. Achalcus nigropunctatus Pollet & Brunhes, 1996 is recorded for the first time for the country and for eastern Palaearctic fauna. Light micrographs of key characters of A. nigropunctatus are included.
Highlights
The Tigirekskii Nature Reserve is situated in the Zmeinogorskii, Tretyakovskii and Krasnoshchekovskii districts of Altai Territory
When studying recent Diptera catalogs, I have found that the faunas of the long-legged flies of Altai Territory (Altaiskii Krai) and Altai Republic are not divided, and species distribution lists include both regions under the name “Altai” (e.g. Negrobov et al, 2013; Grichanov, 2014)
I have examined intensively old and recent literature containing original collection data and revealed that all dolichopodid species records from Altai belong to the Altai Republic, and none species was reported from the present Altai Territory
