C o m p a r i s o n. By the shape of the swollen body, 2+10-segmented antennae, covered by dense scales, the new genus is closely related to <i>Brachineura</i> Rondani, 1840 (Mamaev, 1967; Gagné, Solinas, 1996), differing from it by the wing venation (fused veins <i>R</i> 1+2 and <i>R</i> 4+5), much shorter flagellomeres, longer legs, narrow and short cerci of ovipositor and smaller body size. Wings of new genus are similar to <i>Lasioptera</i> Meigen, 1818, but new genus differs by short antennae and not protrusible ovipositor. E t y m o l o g y. Name is based on the Latin Nascens luna (new moon or moonrise). Gender feminine.
