Synonyms [1] [2]

Dolichopus lepidus is a species of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It is found in the Palearctic. [5] [6] [7]

The name Dolichopus lepidus was declared a nomen protectum , so it has precedence over the senior synonym Dolichopus tibialis (a nomen oblitum ). [1]

Dolichopus microstigma Stackelberg, 1930 was originally described as a variation of D. lepidus, and was later considered a subspecies of the species, [1] but it is now considered a separate species. [8]
