Number: 285, Pages: 1 - 85

The Palaearctic species of the fairyfly genus Camptoptera Foerster, 1856 are revised and illustrated. An identification key to 13 species is provided for separation of females. The known distribution ranges of the species are given, including new records of the extralimital specimens examined. The six newly described species are C. doptera sp. n. (Italy), as well as C. fuga sp. n., C. kloptera sp. n., C. poptera sp. n., C. stoptera sp. n., and C. zagvozdka sp. n., all from the Far East of Russia (C. stoptera is also known from Taiwan, Republic of China). The following new synonymies are proposed: C. cardui (Foerster, 1856) = C. aula Debauche, 1948, syn. n., = C. foersteri Girault, 1917, syn. n., = C. lapponica Heqvist, 1954, syn. n., = C. pechlaneri (Soyka, 1953), syn. n., = C. stammeri (Soyka, 1953), syn. n., = C. tarsalis Kryger, 1950, syn. n.; C. franciscae (Debauche, 1948) = C. japonica (Taguchi, 1971), syn. n.; C. magna Soyka, 1946 = C. hundsheimensis Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. kressbachi Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. minorignatha Hu et Lin, 2011, syn. n., = C. nigra Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. nigrosimilis Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. signatipennis Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. strobilicola Heqvist, 1956, syn. n.; C. papaveris Foerster, 1856 = C. aequilonga Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. andradae Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. annulata Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. colorata Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. grandithoracala Guo et Wang, 2011, syn. n., = C. intermedia Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. interposita Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. parva Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. pulla Girault, 1909, syn. n., =C. saintpierrei Girault, 1915, syn. n., =C. setipaupera Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. tenuis Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. transilvanica (Botoc, 1960), syn. n.; and C. punctum (Shaw, 1798) = C. ellifranzae zur Strassen, 1950, syn. n., = C. gschnitzi Soyka, 1961, syn. n., = C. perpilosa Soyka, 1961, syn. n. Camptoptera brevicornis (Soyka, 1961), stat. rev. is reinstated as a valid species from the previous synonymy under C. franciscae. Lectotypes are designated for C. papaveris Foerster, 1856, Stichothrix cardui Foerster, 1856, and S. pechlaneri Soyka, 1953; a neotype is designated for C. tarsalis Kryger, 1950. Taxonomic notes on some related species of Camptoptera described from the New World are provided. Camptoptera serenellae Viggiani, 1978 (Sri Lanka) is transferred to Stephanocampta Mathot, 1966 as S. serenellae (Viggiani), comb. n.
