(Figs 83–87)
Lyciella supraorientalis Papp 1984: 172. Type locality: Russia. Primorsky Krai, Khasan Region, Kedrovaya Pad Biosphere Reserve. Type: Holotype male (ZMUM). Papp 1984: fig. 22 (habitus), figs. 23, 24 (male genitalia). Shatalkinia supraorientalis. Papp & Shatalkin 1998: fig. 19 (habitus), figs. 27, 28 (male genitalia). Shatalkin 1999: 544 (in key).
Sciasmomyia supraorientalis. Shatalkin 2000: 41 (combination). Schacht et al. 2004: 49 (in key). Lee & Han 2009: 210 (redescription, distribution), fig. 1 (habitus, head, scutellum), fig. 2 (male & female terminalia).
Remarks. This species was thoroughly described and figured by Papp (1984) and redescribed and figured by Lee & Han (2009). Therefore, the species is not redescribed here, and genitalic illustrations are given for males in Papp (1984) and Papp & Shatalkin (1998), and for males and females in Lee & Han (2009). This species is darker overall than most other species of Sciasmomyia (Figs. 83–85) (except S. leishanensis and S. tubata, and some speciments of S. longissima), with very little yellow. Also, the wing is entirely hyaline except for some brown clouding around crossveins r-m and dm-cu, the tips of Sc, R2+3 and R4+5 and M1; veins are pale brown, except dark brown along areas with brown clouding. The coloration of the abdominal tergites vary slightly in different individuals (Figs 86, 87). The male and female genitalia further separate this species from the others in the genus.
