A96187C851792261FF488788FBED27E4.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Atrichopogon (Kempia) insularis sensu Tokunaga (1940 b, 1962) and Liu et al. (2001) with hairy eyes is another species of the genus, possibly Atrichopogon crispantis Liu, Yan & Liu, 1996 described from China. We propose here to restore Atrichopogon crispantis Liu, Yan & Liu, 1996 from synonymy with A. insularis Kieffer (Liu et al. 2001). The paralectotype male of Atrichopogon citrinipes in the original description was mentioned as collected from Daitotei, while the specimen in the SDEI collection originates from Taihoku. We suppose that the original locality was stated erroneously in the publication. Females with bare eyes and bearing 3 – 4 setae on paratergite, described by Kieffer as A. citrinipes and A. insularis, actually represent one species. We propose here to treat A. citrinipes as a new junior synonym of A. insularis. According to the original description of A. insularis, the male wing membrane is devoid of macrotrichia. Actually, it has macrotichia, which is rare within the subgenus Atrichopogon s. str. Probably Kieffer overlooked that character in his cursory descriptions of small insects.	en	Szadziewski, Ryszard, Dominiak, Patrycja (2009): Biting midges of the genus Atrichopogon Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) described by Kieffer from Taiwan.

A96187C8517A226CFF4884CAFEDF20F0.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Kieffer’s original descriptions do not mention the labels „ holotype or „ paralectotype associated with the two preserved specimens, which we treat as syntypes. The better-preserved specimen is designated as the lectotype here. The unique ventral armatures of female genitalia of A. myrmedon (Fig. 3), A. quadrispinosus (Remm, 1993), and A. pectinicaudalis (Liu et al. 2006) are identical. Consequently, A. quadrispinosus and A. pectinicaudalis are considered new junior synonyms of A. myrmedon.
