Distribution

provided by Zookeys
(Fig. 13). Cheilosia barbafacies sp. n. is found in two Dinaric mountains in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula, in Durmitor (Montenegro) and Jahorina (Bosnia-Herzegovina), while the related species, Cheilosia pascuorum, has a wider range extending from the Alps, across the Balkan Peninsula, to Romania and the European part of Russia (Speight 2012). Both species appear sympatrically within one refuge area rich in endemics and relict species (Durmitor mountain, gorge of river Sušica and glacial lakes Škrčka jezera) (Šimić 1987, Vujić 1996).
