Abstract: The Nearctic Neolimnophila ultima ultima (Osten Sacken, 1860) is proposed as a
new junior synonym for the Palaearctic N. placida (Meigen, 1830). Neolimnophila
ultima alaskana (Alexander, 1924) is elevated to species rank and reported in
the Palaearctic Region for the first time. Redescriptions of N. carteri
(Tonnoir, 1921), N. placida, and N. alaskana stat. nov. are provided and their
male terminalia and wing venations are illustrated.
Key words: Diptera, Limoniidae, Neolimnophila, new synonymy, elevation in rank, male terminalia, distribution, Palaearctic Region
