Lonchaea vanua

description: Lonchaea vanua sp. nov.
Description. Male: Head. Eyes bare. Frons subshining black, dulled by microsculpture. Lunule covered in silver pollinosity, face orange brown above mouth, orbital plates shining, bare apart from orbital seta. Antennae entirely black, inner ventral surface of 1st flagellomere narrowly orange brown, 1st flagellomere 2.75x as long as deep, just reaching to mouth margin, arista with short pubescence, at maximum 40% depth of 1st flagellomere. Anterior genal setulae in a single row, basal setulae strong and seta-like.
Thorax: Thoracic dorsum and scutellum glittering black with slight bluish reflections. Thoracic sclerites brightly polished. Anepisternum with two strong anterodorsal setae and two posterior, the remainder of the sclerite covered in long but rather sparse black setulae. Katepisternum with one strong dorsocentral seta, anterior to this approximately 6 short setulae, one posteriorly. Calypteres white with a white fringe. Wing length 2.8mm. Abdomen shining brownish, slight bluish reflection on lateral margins.
Male terminalia: (Figs. 21–23). In lateral view epandrium 1.5x higher than wide, bearing setulae posteroventrally; cerci small and square-shaped, bearing strong setulae along posterior margin, these slightly weaker ventrally. Surstyli projecting ventrally beyond shell of epandrium as a broad lobe, internal surface with numerous setulae along outer margin, inner surface bare apart from a single row of 8 long setulae parallel to ventral margin, these becoming longer posteriorly with the most posterior extending out beyond margin of epandrium. Phallus slender and rather rectangular, with no setulae, obviously two segmented.
Type material: Holotype ♂. FIJI; Vanua Levu, Macuata prov., 0.4km S. Rokosalese village, 16º532’S 179 º019’E, 118m, 23.iv–8.v.2004, leg. Schlinger & Tokota’a.
Differential diagnosis: Lonchaea vanua is the smallest of the Lonchaea species known from Fiji, the hairing on the arista is also the shortest of the four species. The male genitalia are distinct due to the row of long setulae present on the inner surface of the surstyli.
Remarks. All four Lonchaea species recorded from Fiji, L. fiji, L. melanesia, L. linefacies and L. vanua, are externally very similar and form a closely related and distinctive group within the genus. All have plumose arista, a strong seta-like setula on the genae and anepimeron with two anterodorsal and posterior setae. The male genitalia indicate that these are definitely Lonchaea species, the inner surface of the surstyli bearing setulae, there are no prensisetae on a basal plate as would be found in the genus Silba.

description: Hemidactylus Oken, 1817
The genus Hemidactylus is divided into four genetically distinct and geographically almost exclusive clades (Carranza & Arnold 2006). The species living in Iran belong to the arid clade (H. persicus, H. robustus, H. turcicus, and probably also H. romeshkanicus) and to the tropical Asian clade (H. flaviviridis).

Figs.1–2
Type material: Holotype ♂, (ZISP 1816) S. Africa Rep., Northern Cape, 80 km SW of Springbok, Namaqua N.P., S 2957′ E 1739′, h 632 m, 18.xi.2010, leg. V. Kovtunovich & A. Sochivko. Paratype: 1 ♂, (BMNH 21977), Cape Province, Prince Albert Rd., Frbr. 1921. R.E. Turner., Brit. Mus. 1921–115.
External characters. Wingspan 21.5– 24 mm, holotype 21.5 mm. Forewing grey with four dark spots. One of them larger, oval-shaped, located in discal cell. Distal part of forewing with black narrow streaks at costal margin. Fringe of outer margin grey with alternating darker areas. Hindwing and its fringe unicolorous grey.
Male genitalia. Valvae symmetrical, narrow, knee-bent, slightly widened in distal part (the genitalia preparation on the slide, shown in Fig. 2, appears asymmetrical. This is distortion due to dissection technique). Costal processes long, slightly smaller than the length of the valva, narrow in basal part, widened in middle part and narrowed again in distal part. Uncus small, furcate. Lobes of sternum VIII rather long and thin. In middle part of sternum VIII there are wide folds on the sides. Phallus thin, long, slightly curved, equal to the length of valva.
Female unknown.
Diagnosis. A. sergeii is similar to A. malitiosa Meyrick, 1909, both species having similarly shaped sternumVIII, uncus and phallus. These species differ from each other by the angled valve, wider costal process of valve, as well as folds on the sides of sternum VIII in E. sergeii.
Distribution. Rep. S. Africa (Northern Cape).
Flight period. November.
Etymology. The species is named in honour of Sergei Kovtunovich, brother of the first author of the article.

Moinodaphnia macleayi (King, 1853). One of the common species, found in all types of localities except swamps. Littoral species, associated with muddy bottom and vegetation, attach itself to the substrate like Simocephalus. For description see Goulden (1968). The species was described from Australia, and presumed to be pantropical (Goulden 1968), populations from South-East Asia are probably conspecific with Australian ones.

description: Hemidactylus flaviviridis Rüppell, 1835
LECTOTYPE. SMF 8772, designated by Mertens (1967).
TYPE LOCALITY. Insel Masaua, Abyssinien [= Massawa Island, Eritrea].
DISTRIBUTION. Coastal Red Sea from Egypt to Yemen and Somalia, around the shores of the Arabian Peninsula, Persian Gulf coast, Pakistan, E Afghanistan, N India.
DISTRIBUTION IN IRAN. Fig. 44. Mostly along the Persian Gulf coast; a more inland record recently reported from Fars Prov. (Gholamifard et al. 2010).
HABITAT. A typical house gecko bound to human settlements, ports, railway junctions etc. (Gallagher 1971; Khan 2009; Das et al. 2011; pers. obs).
REMARKS. Given the high affinity of H. flaviviridis to urban areas and human settlements it is likely that this gecko has been introduced to the western parts of its range probably from India by humans (Anderson 1999). This assumption is in agreement with the coastal distribution and low genetic variability among animals from Ethiopia, Yemen, Oman, Pakistan, and India (Šmíd et al. 2013a).

Figs. 3–5
Material examined. 3 ♂, 1 ♀, (MFN), Namibia, Wlotzkasbaken, 9.iv.2008, LF Turm, W. Mey.
External characters. Wingspan 13 mm. Forewing grey with dark spots in wing base and in middle part. Distal part with band formed from fusion of two spots, parallel to outer margin of wing. Hindwing unicolorous grey. Fringe of both wings white.
Male genitalia. Valvae symmetrical. Costal margin of valva heavily sclerotized, distally terminating with shoe-like formation. Base of valva weakly sclerotized with a protruding outer margin. Costal processes of valva short, length half that of valve, in distal part first thickened and apically markedly narrowed. Uncus wide, lobate, with small notch distally. Sternum VIII with wide oval notch, its lobes wide and short. Phallus short, almost straight, its length 2/3 that of valva. Basal part of phallus oblique.
Female genitalia. Apophyses posteriores short, thin. Apophyses anteriores short, straight. Antrum short, tubulate, weakly sclerotized with two protruding strands. Ductus bursae wide at the end towards ostium, gradually narrowed. Lamina vaginalis formed as two separated sclerotized ovals. Bursa copulatrix oval, weakly sclerotized.
Diagnosis. The female genitalia are very similar to those of Agdistis piccolo Gielis, 1990, described from Namibia on the basis of one female. It cannot be safely ruled out that the species presented in this article is indeed A.piccolo. The status of the present sample can only be established after re-examination of the holotype of A. piccolo, and preferably with additional material.

Ilyocryptus spinifer Herrick, 1882. Uncommon in Sabah, found in one pond, one stream and in a paddy field. Benthic species, associated with muddy or clay bottom. For detailed description see Kotov & Dumont (2000). The species is cosmopolitan, no evidence of non-cosmopolitanism has been found (Kotov & Dumont 2000), common in the Oriental region.
Ilyocryptus yooni Jeong, Kotov & Lee, 2012. Single specimen (Fig. 1 A–D) was found in a small stream (loc. 25), co-occuring with I. spinifer. I. yooni belongs to the agilis -line sensu Kotov & Elías-Gutiérrez (2009), which is characterized by at least a short distance between proximalmost lateral seta and anus, short spinules at the base of ventral margin of the postabdominal claw, and posterior setae of valves with additional spines (Fig. 1 A–B). It differs from its sibling-species with complete moulting, I. agilis and I. isanensis, by the absence of any spinules between bases of teeth of preanal margin of postabdomen (Fig. 1 D). I. yooni can be differentiated from I. spinifer by complete moulting and by lateral row of spines on postabdomen ending at anal margin. For detailed description see Jeong et al. (2012). The species is known from Far East of Russia, Japan, Korea and North China (Jeong et al., 2012), recently it was found on Hainan island (Sinev et al., 2015 in press).

HOLOTYPE. ZSI 5961.
TYPE LOCALITY. Originally Persia; restricted to Shiraz, Fars Prov. by Smith (1935).
DISTRIBUTION. Countries by the Persian Gulf—from Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Iran to Pakistan and India.
DISTRIBUTION IN IRAN. Fig. 45. About 300 km wide belt along the Persian Gulf coast in Ilam, Lorestan, Khuzestan, Fars, Bushehr, Hormozgan, and Sistan and Baluchistan Prov.
HABITAT. Inhabits trees, rocks and building wall in xerophytic areas. Anderson (1999) collected his specimens at night on surfaced roads. In Qatar found on the ground under wood, rocks and dry leaves (Castilla et al. 2013).
REMARKS. Deep intraspecific diversification within Iranian specimens of H. persicus (Šmíd et al. 2013a) and its close relation with an unidentified species from NW India (Bauer et al. 2010) indicate that H. persicus forms a complex of several cryptic species that needs to be revised with material from other parts of the species’ distribution.

Figs. 6–8
Type material. Holotype ♂ (MFN 201529), Rep. S. Africa, Western Cape, Rocherpan N.R., 20–21.xi.2008, LF, Ebert, Mey & Khne. Paratypes: 1 ♂ 1 ♀, same data as holotype.
External characters. Wingspan 20 mm. Forewing brownish grey. Distal part with two almost fused spots, parallel to distal margin of wing; apical part of wing significantly darkened. Basal and middle part of wing with two small spots. Hindwing grey, anal part darkened at distal margin. Fringe of both wings pale grey.
Male genitalia. Valvae symmetrical, narrow, of equal width throughout. Base of valve from below with saccular mushroom-like processes, “heads of which covered with fine acicular hairs. Costal processes poorly expressed, short and ribbon-like. Uncus formed as two narrow distinct processes. Sternum VIII with deep oval notch. Phallus slightly arched, its length equal to that of the valvae.
Female genitalia. Apophyses posteriores short, thin, apophyses anteriores rather long, slightly sinuous. Antrum sclerotized, tubular, with notch distally. Ductus bursae thin, membranous.
Diagnosis. A. wolframi is similar to A. infumata Meyrick, 1912, and A. unguica Arenberger, 1988 as having similar form of the uncus, elongate, narrow valvae and fine acicular hairs at the base of the valva in the male genitalia. It differs from A. infumata by the smooth distal margin of the valva, deep oval notch of sternum VIII and the form of the phallus. It differs from A. unguica by the short ribbon-like costal processes, shorter uncus and a deeper notch of sternum VIII.
Distribution. Republic of South Africa (Western Cape).

description: Silba kadavu sp. nov.
Description. Male: Head. Eyes bare. Frons matt black with numerous short frontal and interfrontal setulae approximately 10% length of orbital seta. Orbital plate bare, subshining black, dulled by micro sculpture, bare apart from orbital seta. Lunule setulose with dark ground colour, light grey dusted, this dusting extending to face and parafacials. Antennae black, 1st antennal flagellomere 2.5x as long as deep. Arista with short plumosity which at maximum extent is approximately 0.5x depth of 1st flagellomere. Anterior genal setulae in a single row along mouth margin, anterior 4 well separated from the rest, on right side these almost all same length but on right basal setulae much stronger than the others.
Thorax: Dorsum and sclerites subshining black, covered with fine dusting, Anepisternum with 2 strong anterodorsal setae and 3 posterior, remainder of sclerite with scattered long black setulae. Katepisternum with two strong dorsocentral setae, anterior slightly shorter and weaker than posterior, otherwise sclerite bare. Proepimeron with one setulae. Scutellum quite heavily dusted, Holotype with marginal setae and setulae missing (Paratype - between apical setae with 2 small setulae, between lateral and apical setae with 2 setulae). Calypteres white with white fringe. Wings almost clear, wing length 3.0mm. Legs entirely black including ventral fringe of anterior and posterior basal tarsomeres.
Male terminalia: (Figs. 24–27). In lateral view epandrium 1.5x wider than high, bearing setulae posteroventrally; cerci large and rectangular in shape, bearing strong setulae along posterior and ventral margins. Surstyli projecting beyond the shell of epandrium, in internal view 7 black peg-like prensisetae present on basal plate, one small setula present below the basal prensisetae, outer lobe disc-like, margin bearing a row of 10–12 strong spine-like setulae. Phallus U-shaped, relatively slender with a few small setulae near base, basal lobe large with bifurcated apex.
Type material: Holotype ♂. FIJI; Kadavu island, 0.25Km SW Solodamu village, Moanakaka bird sanctuary, 19.078°S 178.121°E, alt. 60m, Malaise trap, 15.ii–7-iii.2004. Schlinger & Tokota’a.
Paratype; 1 male with the same data as the Holotype. Lakemba, Tubou, 0– 10m., 11.ii.1970, N.L.H. Krauss, 1 male.
Differential diagnosis: In the structure of the phallus this species shows some similarities to Silba rotherayi MacGowan, 2005 from Malaysia but in that species the basal lobe is more distinctly divided. Other differences in the male genitalia include the presence of long pointed setae at the base of the cerci and long pointed prensisetae in S. rotherayi.

(Figs. 9–10)
Type material. Holotype ♂ (BMNH 22750), S. Africa Rep., Northern Cape, 80 km SW of Springbok, Namaqua National Park, S 3003′ E 1727′, 120 m, 05.x.2009, Kovtunovich V. & Ustjuzhanin P. Paratypes: 5 ♂, same data as holotype, (DNMNH 15273, CUK), 1 ♂, (DNMNH 15759) Rep. S. Africa, Western Cape, Matjesfontein, 3313′S 2035′E, 18. x.1954, G. van Son.
External characters. Wingspan 21–22 mm, holotype 21 mm. Forewing grey with four dark spots, three of which aligned in dorsal part of wing. Basal spot small, indistinct; middle spot slightly larger than basal spot; distal spot even larger and rounded as compared to other spots. Fourth spot in distal part of wing costal margin, faintly connected with dorsodistal part. Hindwing grey. Fringe of both wings pale grey.
Male genitalia. Valvae symmetrical, narrow, furcate at distal part; base of valva with small folds. Costal processes well defined, at distal part separated and sole-like. Uncus oval, with triangle cut in apical part. Sternum VIII with deep oval notch. Phallus slightly arched, a little shorter than the length of valva.
Female unknown.
Diagnosis. A. pseudomeyi is distinctive by the form of the valva and the oval notch of sternum VIII in the male. The species is similar to Agdistis meyi Arenberger, 2008, but differs from it by the shape of the uncus, costal processes of the valvae and the arched phallus.
Distribution. Republic of South Africa (Northern and Western Cape).
Flight period. October.
Etymology. The naming of the species is due to the similarity to the closely related species Agdistis meyi.

Comments. It is interesting to note that Lobogaster, as many other groups of flies, has as its sister group a taxon in southern Brazil (see, e.g., discussion in Fachin et al. 2018), in this case, Carreraia. There are some specimens of Lobogaster paradoxus referred to in the literature, but Carreraia edwardsi (Carrera) is extremely rare, known only from the holotype.

Synaxis fuscata Hulst, 1898. Descriptions of new genera and species of the Geometrina of North America. Canadian Entomologist 30(8): 217. Holotype ♂, Glenwood Springs [Garfield Co.], Colorado [AMNH]. Note: Hulst, 1898, misspelled the locality as “Glenmore Springs.”
Diagnosis: The angulate black DFW PM line, well-defined brown-black AM line, and lack of bipectinate antennae in males separate fuscata from its congeners formosa and gray forms of hirsutaria.
Description: Adults (Figs. 27–29): FWL: 19–23 mm. Antenna light brown and serrate in male; in female nearly filiform, densely setose ventrally. Palpi slender, porrect, about 1.5x eye width, banded brown and fuscous. Head, thorax, abdomen, legs grayish-brown (Hulst’s “dirty fuscous”); abdomen speckled with dark scales. Wings: Grayish brown, well-peppered with dark scales. DFW with brown-black AM and PM lines; PM line angled basad at M3; MB only slightly darker than rest of wing; small discal spot present. DHW with poorly developed and incomplete dark median line; discal spot absent. Ventrally paler with dorsal markings lightly repeated. Female slightly larger and paler than male. Male genitalia (Figs. 91, 106): Uncus broad, slightly decurved, tapering to bluntly pointed tip. Dorso-caudal margin of gnathos concave with a robust upcurved spine at either side. Stubby robust furca from middle of anellus tapers to rounded apex, slightly enlarged before apex. Valve moderately broad with even margins, tapering to narrow rounded apex with a small triangular apical projection at the dorsal margin. Aedeagus with ring of spinules at posterior end at base of vesica; everted vesica with patch of sclerotized nodules on dome. Female genitalia (Fig. 122): A/P = 0.44. Long unsclerotized tubular ductus bursae (ca. 2x length of corpus bursae). Corpus bursae ovoid with small oval dentate signum located about 2/3 length of bursae above fundus.
Material examined: 33 specimens with 3 dissections.
Biology: Unknown. The timing of the adult flight in late August into September varies annually depending upon climatic conditions and flight ceases with the onset of the first hard mountain frost.

Holotype: no type specimens deposited in MNNC, presumably lost. Distr.: Región de Los Ríos: Valdivia Province (Corral) (see Philippi, 1865: 626).
Refs.: Reed, 1888: 281 (cat., as Mycetophilidae); Hunter, 1900: 274 (cat., in Mycetophilidae); Edwards, 1928: 25 (list, in Anisopodidae); Stuardo, 1946: 40 (cat.); Papavero, 1967: 5 (cat.); González & Coscarón, 2005: 363 (list).
Comments. In the original description of this species, Philippi (1865) referred to it as “ Mycetobia? fulva ”. There are no illustrations of the species and no other single specimen of the genus Mycetobia has been found so far in Chile. Edwards (1928) and Freeman (1951) mentions that it could be a species of Nevijuncta Marshall in the Ditomyiidae. Baylac & Matile (1988: 86) state that this species is not a Mycetobia species: the wing venation is “similar to that of Platyura ” Meigen, and Evenhuis (2006: 127) refers to this species as a questionable taxon within Keroplatidae. This is most certainly not even an anisopodid but it exact taxonomic position only can be determinate by a subsequent study.

(Figs. 11–12)
Type material. Holotype ♂, BMNH (22751), Rep. S. Africa, Northern Cape, Hope Town, 25.iv.1995, P. Langenhaer. Paratypes: 1 ♂, DNMNH (15274), Rep. S. Africa, Free State, Oranjekrag, H.F. Verwoerd Dam, 07– 14.x.1968, H.J. Potgieter; 1 ♂, (CUK 230), Rep. S. Africa, Northern Cape, Orania, Hopetown, 2949′S 2424′E, 06.i.1971, H. Snyman.
External characters. Wingspan 25–28 mm, holotype 25 mm. Forewing grey with four dark spots, two of which larger and round, located in distal part of wing, parallel to distal margin. Basal and middle part of wing with two small black spots. Hindwing grey, significantly darkened in anal part. Fringe of both wings pale grey.
Male genitalia. Valvae asymmetrical, rather wide, middle part with prominent protrusions from outside. Left valva terminates with notched margin. Right valva widened in middle part, distal part tapered. Costal processes long, extending beyond middle of valvae, in distal part greatly expanded and resembling a fish tail. Uncus furcate. Sternum VIII with well-defined oval notch. Lobes of sternum VIII short, icicle-like. Phallus in distal part slightly bent and tapered, its length equal to that of valvae.
Female unknown.
Diagnosis. A. ruhanga is distinctive by the shape of the uncus and left valva. It resembles A. myburgi Kovtunovich & Ustjuzhanin, 2009 and A. eberti Arenberger, 2009, but differs from them by the pointed right valve, the wide costal processes of the valvae in their distal part, the short icicle-like lobes of sternum VIII and by the long, mores straight phallus.
Distribution. Republic of South Africa (Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, Free State).
Flight period. January, April, October.
Etymology. The species is named after the deity Ruhanga from Bantu mythology.

(Figs 1, 7)
Description. Head without keels or medial impression; eyes reduced, divided by genae in dorsal and ventral parts, dorsal part longitudinal and composed only by few facets, ventral part nearly invisible and composed only by 2–3 facets; antennomeres completely separated. Pronotum cordiform, with elevated large rounded anterior corners, disc without keels or impressions, lateral margins unbordered in posterior half; prosternal process not protruced backwards. Elytra oval, widest in middle, humeral angles extremely developed, without teeth, rounded and elevated, scutellar area distinctly excavated, elytra without rows of punctures or keels, lateral margins keel-like and elevated in anterior half; epipleura extremely broad in anterior half below large humeral angles, without row of punctures. Ventrites with extremely fine punctures, surface shagreened. Tibiae oval in cross-section, without longitudinal keels or impressions, tarsi of all legs short. Aedeagus (Fig. 7) with long parallel apicale with rounded apex, basale long, narrow. Female unknown.
Diagnosis. The eyes are reduced but still divided into dorsal and extremely small ventral part, thus Bamarosis gen. nov. is placed into the subtribe Dichillina. The unusual structures of pronotum and elytra are peculiar and so far unknown in all genera of Stenosini, see keys to genera of Stenosini in Medvedev (1994b) and Aalbu et al. (2017).
Type species. Bamarosis fouquei sp. nov. by present designation.
Composition. Monotypic.
Etymology. Named in honour of the human ethnic group Bamar, from central Myanmar (Burma).
