Roháček, J. ; Papp, L.: A review of the genus Paralimosina L. Papp (Diptera, Sphaeroceridae), with descriptions of ten new species

Discussion — This wingless species seems to be related to several fully-winged species, e. g. to P. bracteata sp. n., P. marshalli sp. n. or P. brevis sp. n. on the overall similarity of the male genitalia but none of them forms a distinct sister-pair with it. P. ceylanica is decidedly not closely related to the second apterous Paralimosina, viz. P. sexsetosa from Japan. Figs 39-46. Paralimosina ceylanica (L. PAPP) (rf Ç
