(Figs 92–102)
Material examined. Holotype male, DENMARk, SJ, Draved Skov, Højmose, 21.vi–13.vii.2014, E. Bøggild (CUMZ-8-59).
Description. Male. Head as Fig. 92 and the proboscis from below as Fig. 93. Cheek with 5 bristles and jowl with 2 that are much longer and more robust. Postpedicels (Fig. 92) light brown and without SPS vesicles. Thorax brown with notopleuron and mesopleuron as Fig. 94. Scutellum with an anterior pair of small hairs and a posterior pair of bristles (Fig. 95). Abdominal tergites brown with many hairs which are moderately longer at rear of T6. Venter brownish gray with hairs on segments 3–6. Hypopygium as Figs 96–98. Middle and hind legs light brown and front legs brownish yellow. Fore tarsus (Fig. 99) with posterodorsal hair palisade on segments 1–4 and 5 longer than 4. Mid tibia and basitarsus as Fig. 100. Hind femur as Fig. 101. Hind tibia with about 20 differentiated posterodorsal hairs, without anterodorsals, and spinules of apical combs simple. Wings (Fig. 102) with exceptionally pale membranes, 2.8 mm long. Costal index at least 0.3. Costal ratios 7.6: 4.0: 1. Costal cilia (of section 3) 0.14 mm long. Hair at base of vein 3 small. With 5 axillary bristles, the outer being 0.14 mm long. Sc not reaching R1. Haltere knob grayish brown.
Recognition. In the key of Lundbeck (1922) to Group V it runs to couplet 10 lead 2 or couplet 12 lead 2, but the very short costal index and pale wing membrane immediately rules out both species. In the key to the males of the British Isles (Disney, 1989) it runs to couplet 95, lead 2 to M. hiticrus (Schmitz). The latter has darker legs, with the crowded hairs at the base of the hind femur only gradually increasing in size towards the base (Fig. 104) and the darker hypopygium has the left hypandrial lobe forked (Fig. 103). In Schmitz & Delage’s (1974) key for Abteilung V it runs to couplets 27 and 36. With the first option it runs to couplets 69 and 97 where the hairs at the base of the hind femur immediately distinguish it. With the second option it runs to couplets 27 and 36. At couplet 27 the hypopygiuym and very pale wings distinguish it. As with M. thomseni (see below) at couplet 36 it runs to M. paupera (Lundbeck), which is only known in the female. The hind femur distinguishes it from M. thomseni. The costal ratios and more numerous posterodorsal hairs of the hind tibia distinguish it from M. paupera.
Etymology. Named after its similarity to M. hirticrus

(Figs 118–125)
Material examined. Holotype male, DENMARK, Dk SJ, Døstrup Simested Å, 5–14.v.2016, E. Bøggild (161130517, CUMZ-8-60). Description. Male. Frons brown, clearly broader than long, with dense microtrichia. SAs and anterior row of bristles as Fig. 118. Pre-ocellars closer together than either is from a mediolateral bristle, all being at the same level on the frons. Cheek with 5–6 bristles and jowl with 2 that are clearly longer and more robust. The antennae of the holotype are missing, the palps and proboscis as Figs 118 & 119. Thorax brown. Two notopleural bristles and no cleft in front of these. Mesopleuron bare. Scutellum with an anterior pair of small hairs and a posterior pair of bristles. Abdominal tergites brown with moderate hairs that are clearly longer at rear of T6. Venter grayish brown, and with hairs on segments 3–6. Hypopygium as Figs 120 & 121. Legs brown, but not dark, and the front legs more yellowish. Front tarsus (Fig. 122) with posterodorsal hair palisade on segments 1–4 and 5 a little longer than 4. Mid femur and tibia as Fig. 123, with the dorsal hair palisade of tibia extending about 0.77 times its length. Hind femur as Fig. 124. Hind tibia with about 16 differentiated posterodorsal hairs, without anterodorsals, and spinules of apical combs simple. Wings (Fig. 125) 2.2 mm long. Costal index 0.38. Costal ratios 5.4: 1.7: 1. Costal cilia (of section 3) 0.06 mm long. Vein 3 with hair at base 0.04 mm long. With 6 axillary bristles, the outermost being 0.07 mm long. Sc not reaching R1. Haltere brown.
Recognition. In the key of Lundbeck (1922) to Group VII couplet 4 where the hypopygium clearly differs from that of M. rufifrons (Wood). It more closely resembles M. praeacuta (Schmitz) but differs in having 6, not 3, axillary bristles, different costal ratios and vein 4 originating before the fork of vein 3 instead of beyond. In the key to the males of the British species (Disney, 1989) it runs to couplet 283, but its hypopygium is immediately distinguished from that of M. frontalis (Wood) and the latter’s longer costal index (at 0.48). However, it more closely resembles M. maura (Wood). The latter has only 3–4 axillary bristles, as opposed to 6, and its vein 4 originates beyond the fork of vein 3, as opposed to before the fork. The hypopygia are similar but distinct (compare Figs 120 & 121 with 126 & 127).
Etymology. Named after the Danish poet Søren Ulrik Thomsen.

(Figs 128–137).
Material examined. Holotype male, DENMARK, DK SJ, Buntje Ballum, 17.v–8.vi.2014, Esben Bøggild (UCMZ-8-59). Description. Male. Head as Fig. 128. Postpedicel of antenna as Fig. 129. Thorax as Fig. 130, the anterior scutellars being small hairs. Abdominal tergites brown, with moderate hairs that are longer laterally on T2 and longest at rear of T6. Venter pale gray and lacking hairs. Hypopygium as Figs 131–133. Front leg as Fig. 134. Middle leg as Fig. 135. Hind femur and tibia as Fig. 136. Wing (Fig. 137) 1.5–1.6 mm long. Costal index 0.53. Costal ratios 3.6: 1.8: 1. With a single axillary bristle (Fig. 130). Haltere dark (Fig. 130).
Recognition. In the keys to Palaearctic species (Shcmitz, 1943) it runs to couplet 69, lead 2 to T. hentrichi Schmitz (1935), but is immediately distinguished by its narrower paler palps with several robust bristles in addition to the longer terminal bristle. Those of T. hentrichi are fewer and much less robust. The hypopygia are similar but the tip of the left epandrial process is less symmetric in T. hentrichi.
Etymology. Named after Erhardt & Kirsten Ehmsen in whose premises the holotype was trapped.

Type species: Euseboides plagiatus Gahan, 1893.
Redescription. Body covered with brown pubescence. Pronotum faintly covered with several longitudinal yellowish brown stripes. Elytra covered with spots.
Body small and elongate. Head nearly as broad as apex of prothorax, mandibles bifurcate apically, with an external depression at apex and base; labrum, frons and vertex punctured; frons constricted by eyes; eyes coarsely faceted and strongly emarginate, lower eye lobes small but longer than broad; head with a shallow depression between antennal tubercles; antennae slender and distinctly longer than body, antennal tubercles widely separated, scape elongate and thicker than antennomeres II-XI, pedicel sub-cylindrical. Prothorax sub-cylindrical and punctured, with a transverse groove at apex and base; disc narrowly margined at apex and base, constricted before and behind middle; prosternum punctured, prosternal process broad apically and lower than procoxae, procoxal cavities closed posteriorly. Elytra broader than prothorax basally, gradually constricted posteriorly and abruptly constricted near apex, truncate apically, marginal angles processed; disc punctured, depressed behind scutellum. Mesosternum and mesanepisternum punctured, mesocoxal cavities open externally to mesepimera. Metasternum elongate and punctured, metanepisternum elongate and narrow. Abdomen sparsely punctured. Legs short, mesotibia with an oblique external preapical groove, metafemora not extending beyond apex of abdominal segment III.
Diagnosis. The genus Euseboides is characterized by the following characters: antennae longer than body, prothorax covered with several longitudinal yellowish brown stripes on dorsal surface; elytra with a depression behind scutellum, abruptly constricted near apex, truncate at apex, marginal angles processed posteriorly. Gahan (1893) mentioned that Euseboides was similar to Nyctimene Thomson, 1857 = Nyctimenius Gressitt, 1951. Actually, Euseboides Gahan is more similar to Malthonea Thomson, 1864 but differs from latter by antennae not fringed with long pubescence beneath, prothorax without a tubercle or spine at sides.
Distribution. China, India, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam.

Euseboides gorodinskii Holzschuh, 2006: 487 (type locality: “Manali vill., Pirpandzhal range, W-Himalays, Himachal Pradesh, N-India”), pl. XI, fig. 6 (male); Löbl & Smetana 2010: 223 (catalogue).
Male terminalia. Tergite VIII (Figs 6 & 7) sparsely covered with short and fine brown setae near apical 1/3, with several longer and thicker black setae apically; disc elongate, longer than broad, rounded apically. Sternite VIII (Figs 6 & 7) sparsely covered with short brown setae, nearly as long as broad, expanded in middle, and truncated apically; spiculum relictum shorter than sternite VIII. Spiculum gastrale (Figs 6 & 7) Y-shaped, slender, distinctly longer than sternite VIII.
Aedeagus. Tegmen (Figs 8–10) curved, slightly shorter than penis; parameres sparsely covered with short and fine brown setae apically, with several longer and thicker brown setae apically; phallobase more than 4.0 times as long as parameres, abruptly expanded near middle and gradually constricted towards base; anterior tegminal struts separated. Penis (Figs 11–13) curved and thick in profile, slightly constricted near apical 1/4, and gradually expanded near middle; dorsal struts short, nearly 1/3 as long as penis, weakly curved in profile; dorsal plate rounded apically; ventral plate distinctly longer than dorsal plate, bearing a small round projection.
Specimens examined. 1 male (SWUC-Co- 01-03-00 -00-00-588), China: Simianshan, Jiangjin, Chongqing, 5. VI. 2004, no collector record; 1 female (SWUC), China: Simianshan, Jiangjin, Chongqing, 21. IV. 2011, no collector record; 1 male (SWUC-Co- 01-03-00 -00-00-1355), China: Hechuan, Chongqing, 2–5. VII. 2012, Zong- Qing Wang leg.; 1 female (SWUC), China: Mt. Leigongshan, Guizhou, 28~ 29. VII. 2014, Bo-Yan Li leg.
Distribution. China (new country record): Chongqing (Hechuan, Jiangjin), Guizhou (Leishan); India: Himachal Pradesh.
Comments. Holzschuh (2006) gave the differences between E. gorodinskii and E. tonkinensis. However, the differences are vague and E. gorodinskii is not close to E. tonkinensis, rather, it distinctly differs from E. tonkinensis by the elytron covered with a triangular whitish brown spot behind middle, the hind legs distinctly extending beyond elytral apex. Holzschuh (2006) examined female and male specimens, but only gave a male photo in original description. There is a holotype photo of E. gorodinskii in the database “A Photographic Catalog of the Cerambycidae of the World” (Bezark, 2013).

(“ Euseboides plagiatoides, mihi typ” handwriting and “Breuning dét.” printed on a rectangular white label in black ink; “mihi typ” is the abbreviation of “mihi typus ”, which means “my type ” in Latin)/ Darjeeling (handwriting on a rectangular yellow label in black ink)/ Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet Stockholm, Loan no 343/97 (printed on a rectangular blue label in black ink)/ 5296, E94 + (printed on a rectangular blue label in black ink, “5296 E94 +” means old catalogue number, which is invalid for specimen)/ Typus (printed on a rectangular red label with black border in black ink)/ NHRS-JLKB 0 0 0 0 21181 (printed on a rectangular white label in black ink, “NHRS-JLKB 000021181” means the unique museum catalogue number for specimen).
Distribution. India: Sikkim (Darjeeling).
Comments. Breuning (1950) originally described the basal half of the antennae covered with straw-yellow pubescence from antennomere IV. Unfortunately, the holotype lacked complete antennae (Figs 66–68), so it is difficult to verify the character. After comparing with other species, the senior author supposed the antennae of this species may be similar to E. motuoensis and E. reni.

Comments. Kano (1928) cited the paper of Aurivillius using the year “1922”. However, the senior author found the paper was actually published in 1921, so the correct year is 1921. Kano (1928) redescribed this species briefly in Japanese and reported this species from China (Taiwan) for the first time, however, Gressitt (1951) treated the species reported by Kano (1928) as E. matsudai.

Additional specimens examined. 1 male (GUGC), China: Dongtang, Libo, Guizhou, 24. X. 1998, Zi-Zhong Li leg.; 1 female (GUGC), China: Dongtang, Libo, Guizhou, 25. X. 1998, Zi-Zhong Li leg.
Distribution. China (new country record): Guizhou (Libo); Vietnam: Tonkin (Hoa-Binh).
Comments. Breuning (1973) thought E. tonkinensis was close to E. plagiatus. Actually, E. tonkinensis is closer to E. matsudai spinipennis, it can be distinguished from E. matsudai spinipennis by the pronotum without a longitudinal yellowish brown stripe along median line, marginal angles more acuminate (Figs 107 & 111).

Pieza

description: Pieza, gen. nov.
Type of genus: Mythicomyia angusta Melander, 1961, by present designation.
All species placed in genus­group taxon Mythenteles previous to this study except for its type species are transferred here to Pieza. Also, the species Mythicomyia minuta Greene from California and Mythicomyia agnastis Hall from Chile are newly transferred to this genus. In addition, seven new species have been sorted in the material under study and are described below. The genus is currently known from 11 species (including one fossil amber species).
Diagnosis: Pieza is distinguished from Mythenteles primarily by the subapical placement of the style of the second antennal flagellomere (apical in Mythenteles) (see Figs. 1– 2), the absence of vein A2 (present in Mythenteles) (see Figs. 3–4), and the V­shaped vaginal furca of the female genitalia (U­shaped in Mythenteles). It is similar to Nexus Hall & Evenhuis in many respects, but differs in the wing having a complete cell dm, having the apical venation of the medial and anal fields reaching the wing margin (these veins are evanescent or absent in Nexus), and by vein R2+3 originating from Rs about three­fourths distance from R1 to the r­m crossvein. The head in Pieza is also narrower than the thorax, whereas it is subequal in width to the thorax in Nexus.
Etymology. The name is derived from the Greek “ ” = to squeeze, referring to the peculiar shape of the sperm pump and apical valve of the female genitalia. Gender is feminine.

Pieza dominicana

description: Pieza dominicana, sp. nov.
Female (Fig. 11). Length: 1.05 mm. Head. Dark brown to black, occiput not appreciably developed posteriorly. Eyes dichoptic; ocelli forming a narrow triangle; lateral ocellus 1.5 its diameter from inner eye margin; frons slightly longer than wide, depressed medially, upper half of front with dark hair; antenna black, scape minute; pedicel slightly wider than long; first flagellomere short, ovoid, broadest at or slightly beyond middle, slightly longer than wide; length of second flagellomere equal to width of first flagellomere; proboscis black, projecting beyond oral margin for distance much greater than head height; occiput with sparse black hairs.
Thorax. Mesonotum and scutellum dark brown, without contrasting yellow color; pleura black, coxae and legs dark brown; apical tarsal segments black; halter with stem brown, knob yellowish­brown.
Wing. Hyaline; veins brown; costa ending at one­third distance form end of vein R4+5 to M1; cells r4+5 and m1 subequal in width at wing margin; vein R2+3 arising at nearly 90°; discal cell narrowed apically; vein at base of cell m1 shorter than r­m crossvein.
Abdomen. Dark brown; all tergites without pale colored fasciae on posterior margins; dorsum with scattered minute pale hairs; venter brown.
Genitalia. Not dissected.
Male. Unknown.
Types. Holotype female, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Miocene: provenance unknown, DR­11­1 (AMNH). The holotype is the only inclusion in a piece that measures 6 13 mm and has been cut, polished, and mounted in artificial resin.
Remarks. Only known from the unique holotype. Although one other species of Mythicomyiidae [Glabellula kuehnei (Schlüter 1976)] is also known from these deposits (Evenhuis 1994), the presence of the genus Pieza in the Miocene of the Dominican Republic (dating from Iturralde­Vinent and MacPhee 1996) is still rather remarkable given that the habitat of this region in the Miocene was probably sylvan and moist (Poinar and Poinar 1999) — much different than the preferred arid to semi­arid habitat of mythicomyiids worldwide. The author has at hand one specimen of an undescribed species of Mythicomyia also from these deposits (which is being described elsewhere). With these records of amber mythicomyiines, the minimum age of this subfamily in the New World can be placed in the Miocene.
Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the type locality.
Distribution. Known only from the Miocene amber of the Dominican Republic.
