Dolichopus lepidus is a species of fly in the family Dolichopodidae. It is found in the Palearctic.[5][6][7]
The name Dolichopus lepidus was declared a nomen protectum, so it has precedence over the senior synonym Dolichopus tibialis (a nomen oblitum).[1]
Dolichopus microstigma Stackelberg, 1930 was originally described as a variation of D. lepidus, and was later considered a subspecies of the species,[1] but it is now considered a separate species.[8]
