Forcipomyia sahariensis Kieffer, 1923 is diagnosed in all stages. Larvae and pupae reared from rotting roots are described for the first time. Forcipomyia tuzeti Huttel et Huttel, 1952 from France and F. acanthophora Renim in Havelka, 1976 from Germany are recognized as new junior synonyms of F. sahariensis. A supplemented key for identification of known larvae and pupae of Polish species of the subgenus Forcipomyia s. str. is also provided.
