Remarks.
Another representative of the
Arganthomyza
setiplanta
group (delimited by
ROHÁČEK & BARBER 2013
). As noted above it is obviously the nearest relative (sister species) of
A. hyperseta
sp. nov.
(described above) while the Nearctic
A. carbo
Roháček & Barber, 2013
is the next closest ally to this pair. The remaining (most ancestral) species of the group seems to be
A. setiplanta
(
Roháček, 1987
) from
Nepal
.
Biology.
The
type
series was captured in montane forests of
South Korea
(
750–1200 m
) in June. The Shaanxi and Sichuan specimens expand both flight period (to May, July) and altitude range (
1300–2100 m
) of the species. The species is probably associated with the undergrowth of moist leafy forests (see
ROHÁČEK & BARBER 2013
:
Fig. 52
).
