Nikita, congratulations! One more species new for Turkey:
Dolichopus thalhammeri Knezy, 1929: Folia Soc. Ent. Hung. 2(1): 19 ** Type locality: Hungary: Dabas; Bulgaria. Palaearctic: Hungary, Bulgaria *
Moreover, if you will find a long apicoventral on fore tibia and erect pilosity on fore tarsus ventrally, than the following species should be synonymized here to:
Dolichopus balius Meuffels, 1982 [F 1981]: Bull.Rech.agron.Gembloux 16 (4) [1981]: 327 ** Type locality: France: Card, La Capelle. Palaearctic: France *

Knezy did not include those characters into description of Dolichopus thalhammeri, but the other characters are exactly the same as in the description of Dolichopus balius. So, they may be sister species. I am happy for Meuffels.

I have looked on the specimen. A long apicoventral on fore tibia and erect microscopic pilosity on fore tarsus ventrally are present. So, the two names are quite possible synonyms.
