Summary

New records of the endangered European genus and species Psarus abdominalis (Diptera, Syrphidae, Rhingiini) are provided together with a list of the Syrphidae collected in the Haut-Rhin Department. Based on these new records, the status of this highly endangered species is discussed. In addition, we give molecular data about Psarus abdominalis as part of the German Barcode of Life project, a contribution to a reference DNA library, as well as the detailed distribution of Psarus.

Résumé

Nouvelles données de Psarus abdominalis (Fabricius) (Diptera: Syrphidae), une espèce menacée en Europe. De nouvelles données concernant le genre monotypique européen Psarus et sa seule espèce, Psarus abdominalis, en voie de disparition, sont fournies avec une liste des espèces de syrphidés recueillies dans le département du Haut-Rhin. Sur la base de ces nouvelles données, le statut de cette espèce très menacée est discuté. Deplus, des données moléculaires sont présentées pour Psarus abdominalis dans le cadre du projet GBOL ayant pour but de construire une banque d'ADN de référence. L'aire de répartition détaillée de Psarus abdominalis est donnée.
