PAPP, Budapest PAPP, L.: Three new milichiid species (Diptera, Milichiidae) from Hungary. - Annls hist -not Mus. natn. hung. 1993,85: 133-139. Abstract - Desmometopa discipalpis sp. n., Madiza admia sp. n. and Paramyia hungarica sp. n. are described from Hungary. A key for the World species of Madiza Fallén, 1810 is given. The genus Paramyia is reported from the West Palaearctic for the first time. The differentiating features of Paramyia Williston, 1897 are discussed. With 10 figures. In 1992 a revision of the collection of the species of Milichiidae was made in the Department of Zoology of the Hungarian Natural History Museum identifying unnamed material and re-ordering the named ones. This new collection contains 66 named species (nearly one-third of the known species) of some 3,500 specimens. No surprise that quite numerous new species were also found. However, it seems remarkable that 3 new species were also found from Hungary, all of them are unique in their genera in some respects. These three species are described below with comments. The type-specimens are deposited in the collection of the Department of Zoology of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest (below HNHM). Desmometopa discipalpis sp. n. (Figs 1-6) Holotype male (HNHM): Hungary, Tthany, Csúcshegy - 1969.V.29., leg. MÓCZÁR L. (wings twice broken). - Paratype male (HNHM): same as for holotype (abdomen and genitalia in a plastic microvial with glycerin). Measurements in mm: body length 2.18 (holotype), 2.92 (paratype), wing length 2.10 (holotype), 2.63 (paratype), wing width 0.76 (holotype), 0.95 (paratype). Body dull dark grey, mesonotum and abdomen with thick, lighter grey microtomentum. Frons dark, velvety black, interfrontal plates rather thin, silvery grey, like fronto-orbital plates and ocellar triangle. Cheeks rather thin, epistomal margin and lateroventral corner of facial plate comparatively weakly warped forward. Postocellars long and thick like ocellars, 2 pairs of strong exclinate ors. Palpi in deep foveae, subdiscoidal (Fig. 1), with short, erected and pointed setae marginally. Subocular Mack bare area narrow. Vibrissal angle cca. 80°. Labellae long, with long, erect bristles. Arista rather long, 0.55 mm (paratype). Thoracic chaetotaxy as in other species of Desmometopa. Pleurae dull, except for a large shining black spot posteralfy to fore coxae, this spot is very similar to that of D. m-nigrum (see SABROSKY 1983: Fig. 23). Katepisternum with 3 medium-long bristles anteriorly to the strong katepisternal. Fore coxa and fore femur very long and dull black, fore coxa 0.76 mm, fore femur 0.97 mm (paratype). Ventroapical bristle of mid tibia very long, 0.12 mm (holotype) to 0.17 mm (paratype). Male hind tibia (Fig. 2) broad and flat, though not as much as in leptometopoides SABROSKY, 1983; subapical swelling with 3 short bristles. Wings light greyish, veins brown. Section of cos ta between costal breaks with 10 erect, coarse, black setae (apart from the strong bristle at radial costal break). U-t p 0.245 mm, t p 0.148 mm, terminal section of vein M 0.93 mm (holotype).
