Two new species and new records of Muscidae (Diptera) from Wrangel Island, Russia

Research on Wrangel Island has uncovered two new species of Muscidae flies: Spilogonakhrulevae sp. nov. and Coenosia wrangelensis sp. nov., along with a new record of Coenosia sibirica in the Russian Arctic. The study distinguishes these species through detailed morphological analysis, including male terminalia illustrations, and integrates them into existing taxonomic keys for identification. This discovery enhances our understanding of fly biodiversity in remote Arctic ecosystems, contributing to broader ecological research on Wrangel Island's unique natural systems.
