Papp, L.: Two new genera of the Oriental Sphaeroceridae (Diptera)

Female postabdomen not telescopized. Three globular spermathecae with rather long weakly sclerotized "stalks" (Fig. 21). No common stalk for the paired spermathecae, their own stalk equals with the single one's. Remarks - Pellucialula gen. n. is easily recognisable. The macrochaetae on both sides of wing on the radial region are unique among the limosinine flies, but this is not obviously a generic character (synapomorphy); one can decide only after a discovery of a second species sharing this character with P. polyseta. The third (basal) pair of scutellar setae and its extremely short tarsi are also very characteristic. It runs to couplet 33 in ROHACEK'

s (1998) key, which I think as the most comprehensive key for the limosinine genera (there is no key published for the Oriental Limosininae). However, it is not related to the Archieollinella-Kimosina complex. At the same time, its mid basitarsal seta is not on middle of basitarsus but that is subbasal. Its broad abdominal sterna, structure of spermathecae and wing venation may be those features, which may serve as characters in search of its relatives. Pellucialula polyseta sp. n.

0 rainforest, 100^100 m, Malaise trap (pans), Sandstone. Three paratype females (ROM, 1 in HNHM): same data as for the holotype; one of the ROM paratypes with abdomen and genitalia in a plastic microvial with glycerol, left wing of this species has been prepared on a slide. The specimens were (probably) mounted from alcohol; the female paratype's abdomen was not treated in NaOH, but shortly washed in lactic acid only, this is why its spermathecae are still black but this way I was able to depict the slightly sclerotized ducts. Description - Measurements in mm: body length 1.98 (holotype, with downcurved abdomen), 2.0-2.20 (paratype females), wing length 1.67 (holotype), 1.68-1.70 (paratypes), wing width 0.825 (holotype), and 0.67-0.82 (paratypes). Facial plate and gena yellow, anterior part of frons greyish yellow, posterior part grey, orbital ia and frontal triangle shiny. Thorax and abdomen brown. Two pairs of rather short but thick fronto-orbital setae close to each other. Ocellars rather lateroclinate, thick, vti extremely thick, vte, occe, occi comparatively strong (thick). Outer occipitals longer than posterior fronto-orbital pair. Postocellars very small, down on occiput. Four or five pairs of rather strong ifr. Genal seta strong upcurving 0.175 mm long, otherwise only 1-3 setula above peristomials. Gena broad, 0.12 mm broad just behind genal seta. Pedicel with long apical setae, first flagellomere subconical with rounded dorsal apex, covered by very dense and comparatively long white cilia. Arista lateral: originates from middle of the dorsal outline of first flagellomere, with long dense cilia. Clypeus narrow. Palpus with 2 strong black apical setae each. Mesonotum with 1 postpronotal, 2 notopleural, 1 true supra-alar, 1 postalar pairs of setae; 1 anterior (just postsutural, above anterior np) and 1 posterior ("supra-alar") intra-alar pairs.
