Recent examination of adult predatory biting midges of the genus Sphaeromias Curtis showed two species: S. fasciatus (MEIGEN, 1804) and S. pictus (MEIGEN, 1818) to occur in Europe. Ceratopogon punctatus MEIGEN, 1830, Ceratopogon candidatus LOEW, 1856, Xylocrypta miricornis KIEFFER, 1919 and Sphaeromias sparus BORKENT, 1997 are recognized as new junior synonyms of S. pictus. New synonymy.
