Papp, L.: Three new milichiid species (Diptera, Milichiidae) from Hungary

Preabdomen normal, male genitalia as a whole similar to the ground-plan of the genus. Cercus (Figs 3-4) large, with a high, bare submedial ridge in its whole length; base of this ridge with a row of long bristles (Fig. 4). Surstylus inclinate (Fig. 3), short digitiform and widely rounded in lateral view (Fig. 4), connected to epandrium by a narrow bridge and its apex rather anteral in its widest (sublateral) view (Fig. 5); surstylus with several moderately long bristles. Basiphallus strongly sclerotized, basal part of distiphallus rodlike, apex is able to swell in water (i.e. also when alive). Hypandrial complex (Fig. 6) form a double-bodied ship, subanal plate (an interepandrial sclerite connecting hypandrium, cerci and bases of surtyli) distinct. Aedeagal apode­me comparatively short, ejaculatory apodeme rather small (Figs 4, 6). Desmometopa discipalpis sp. n. keys to D. atypica SABROSKY, 1983 (Panama to Pe­ru) in SABROSKY'S key; it has no closer relative among the West Palaearctic species. Actually it is very surprising to find such a unique species in Europe after SABROSKY'S thorough revision. The characteristics of the male genitalia seem enough to define it versus any other species of Desmometopa. Etymology: This species is named after its disciform palpus. Madiza eximia sp. n. (Fig­7) Holotype female (HNHM): [Hungary], Bükk N.[ational] P.[ark], Szentlélek hg., 1979. VI. 11., leg. BAJZA [ZSUZSA]-PAPP L.[ÁSZLÓ]. Measurements in mm: body length 2.71, wing length 2.50, wing width 0.95. Body shining black. Frons longer than broad, all shining, though less brightly than in glabra. Head bristles comparatively very long (Fig. 7, cf. e.g. PAPP 1978: Fig. 18/B). Postocular part of head broader than in congeners. Two pairs of on as usual in this genus, anterior ors pro- and exclinate, posterior ors exclinate and slightly reclinate (Fig. 7); an additional ors between bases of posterior ors and vti, which is not much shorter than anterior ors. Postocellars very long and parallel to each other. First peristomal as long as vibrissa (!); gena much narrower than breath of flagellomere, below eyes (peristomalry) with 3 long and straight bristles. Lunule short, triangular. Anten­nae short, flagellomere semiglobular, arista comparatively long, with medium-long cilia. Labellae and all the proboscis short (Fig. 7, cf. Figs 45-46 of HENNIG 1937). Palpi short and broad, with comparatively long, straight bristles. Anterior dc about half as long as posterior dc. Prescutellars (acrostichals) very long. Proepisternum, anepisternum and anepimeron all bare. Katepisternum with 1 very strong bristle. Legs black, but all tarsi, knees and basal part of tibiae oc h reo us. Fore coxae and femora normal. Wings greyish, veins ochreous. Basicosta with 1, costa anteriorly to first break with 3 long bristles. t a-t p 0.285 mm, t p 0.138 mm, terminal section of vein M 1.12 mm. Haltères black. Abdominal terga all shining. Female cerci very long and thin, with 5 pairs of medium-long and several short bristles. Madiza eximia sp. n. is a unique species of this genus. Its differentiating features are summarized in the key below. Etymology: from the Latin word "eximius" : = exceptional, uncommon, extraordinary. KEY TO THE WORLD SPECIES OF MADIZA FALLEN, 1810 1 (2) Orbits with an additional ors between bases of posterior ors and vti, which is not much shorter than anterior ors (Fig. 7). Proboscis shorter than height of head. Genae much narrower than flagellomere. Fore coxae and femora normal. Frons and all abdominal sclerites shining (Hungary) eximia sp. n.
