(Figs. 1 E, 6)
Type material. Holotype (EUMJ): male, “Gn. Alab., Tambunan, Sabah, BORNEO 7. II. 2008 H. Takizawa leg.”, “genitalia in slide No. HY 1116”.
Description. Male. Body (Fig. 1 E) oblong, convex dorsally, shiny, closely covered with silver setae. Coloration of body reddish-brown, but antennomeres V–XI and meso- and meta-thoraces dark brown.
Head relatively large, slightly convex dorsally, finely punctate; clypeus narrow and long, shallowly concave in front margin. Eyes large, prominent; the distance between eyes about 1.9 times as long as the maximum diameter of an eye. Antennae relatively short, reaching about proximal 1/4 of elytra. Pronotum punctate as on head, strongly depressed in lateral parts; antero-lateral corners obtuse; anterior margin bisinuous; lateral and posterior margins gently arcuate; postero-lateral corners rather pointed; PW/PL 1.88. Scutellar shield equilaterally triangular. Elytra oblong, subparallel-sided near base to apical 1/4, densely punctate; humeral parts weakly projecting; apices rightangled; EL/EW 1.63; EL/PL 4.50; EW/PW 1.47; TL/EW 2.00. Legs relatively large and slender.
Caudal margin of sternite VII (Fig. 6 A) arcuate. Tergite VIII (Fig. 6 B) moderately sclerotized, wide, upturned in posterior margin bearing short setae, with a pair of short and slender apodemes. Tergite IX (Fig. 6 C) slightly sclerotized, trapezoidal, bearing short spines along posterior margin, with a pair of long and stout apodemes. Sternite IX (Fig. 6 D) short, moderately sclerotized, Y-shaped. Tegmen (Fig. 6 E) well sclerotized, U-shaped; parameres subparallel-sided, long, pointed at apices. Penis (Fig. 6 F) long, about 1.3 times as long as tegmen, moderately sclerotized; pala with open basal margin; parameroids long, wide, separated, sparsely punctate; trigonium short and wide, projecting from basal 1/2, bifurcate at apex.
Female. Unknown.
Measurements. Male (n = 1): TL 2.20 mm; PW 0.75 mm; PL 0.40 mm; EL 1.80 mm; EW 1.10 mm.
Distribution. Malaysia (Borneo).
Remarks. This species is closely related to Ypsiloncyphon bifurcatus sp. n., but is distinguished from it by the characteristics mentioned in the remarks for Y. bifurcatus sp. n.
The character state of the separated parameroids this species are also present in other species (e.g., Y. micans, Y. minutulus, Y. mendosus, Y. disparatus, Y. remotus, and Y. yayeyamanus). These species probably evolved independently, because they belong to different species groups.
Etymology. The species name refers to the bicornated trigonium.

Rhamphomyza caudata Zetterstedt, 1838: 565. Type locality (by lectotype designation): Kardis, Sweden.
Other references: Frey, 1955a: 472 (revision, lectotype designation); Barták & Danielson, 2007: 107 (type material examination).
Rhamphomyza aethiops Zetterstedt, 1838: 568. Type locality (by lectotype designation): Lapponia Umensi (probably Lycksele) (Sweden).
Other references: Barták & Danielson, 2007: 108 (lectotype designation).
Remarks. Rhamphomyia caudata has a somewhat complicated taxonomic history. As a consequence, some distributional records of this species may be misleading. Rhamphomyia caudata was identified as the single species of Empididae from Spitsbergen (Boheman 1866; Holmgren 1869; Collin 1923) and was reflected in Empididae Catalogues and faunal checklists (e.g., Hackman 1968; Chvála & Wagner 1989: 299; Coulson & Refseth 2004: 104; Yang et al. 2007: 169). We have examined the specimens of R. caudata noted by Holmgren (housed in NHRS) and found that, actually, they belong to R. longestylata Frey (see below). It should be noted that Collin was somewhat confused about the synonymy of R. caudata. He believed that R. longestylata Frey was conspecific with R. caudata (Zetterstedt) (see Collin, 1961: 378). However, they are distinctly two different species (see Frey 1955a: 472; Barták & Danielson 2008: 107). A note in Collin’s paper on flies collected from Spitsbergen (Collin 1923: 116) indicates clearly that he in fact had in front of him a male of R. longestylata rather than R. caudata. Our study does not confirm the presence of R. caudata on the Arctic islands.

Type Locality: Australia, Western Australia, Moore River (as restricted by Thomas’s lectotype designation; see Mahoney and Richardson, 1988:168).
Vernacular Names: Long-tailed Hopping Mouse.
Synonyms: Notomys sturti Thomas 1921.
Distribution: Australia: Western Australia and Northern Territory (Watts and Aslin, 1981:107; Dixon, 1995 c:577); extinct but recorded as subfossils from South Australia (Robinson et al., 2000). "Given the wide range of locations that live animals were collected from, and the increasing number of locations where its remains have been found, this species must have once occupied much of the arid and semi-arid zones of western and central Australia." (Ellis, 1995:40).
Conservation: IUCN – Extinct.
Discussion: No living animals have either been seen or trapped since 1901, and the species is apparently extinct (Watts and Aslin, 1981). Dixon (1995 c:578) noted that "Once widespread throughout arid and semiarid country where the vegetation included acacia and eucalypt woodlands, hummock grassland and low shrubland, the Long-tailed Hopping-mouse is now unknown and possibly extinct."
