First Anthomyzidae (Diptera) from China: a new genus, six new species and new records Author Roháček, Jindřich text Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 2018 2018-04-25 58 1 35 76 journal article 10.2478/aemnp-2018-0007 5397a3ac-ffb7-408e-ab5b-50be49c2331d 1804-6487 3676725 9808C120-13B7-43F8-B735-C13D2B6D43CA Epischnomyia merzi Roháček, 2009 ( Fig. 66 ) Material examined. CHINA : SICHUAN : Pingwu Co., Mianyang, Laohegou (= Old Creek), Xiaogou (= Small Valley), 32°29′02.47′′N 104°42′21.17′′E , 15.v.2016 , 1814 m, 1 1 ♀ in copula on leaf, S. + S. Marshall leg. ( DEBU , dried from ethanol and mounted on triangular pinned card, both genit. prep. but female body lost during drying process so only its abdomen is preserved). Remarks. The pair of specimens examined belong to the pale form of E. merzi as described by ROHÁČEK (2009: 80) having frons and medial part of mesonotum largely yellow although the latter has a pair of faint vittae in the female (see Fig. 66 ). This form closely resembles in colour the species E. triarmigera ( Sueyoshi & Roháček, 2003 ) but detailed study of characters of the male and female terminalia confirmed the identity of the above Chinese specimens as E. merzi . Biology. Very little known. The type specimens were found in South Korea in forests at higher altitudes ( 750–1200 m ) in the second half of June ( ROHÁČEK 2009 ). The specimens from Sichuan were photographed on a small shrub in a slightly open hilltop ( 1814 m ) surrounded by dense forest (as in Fig. 67 ) in May (S. A. Marshall, personal communication, 2018). The first habitat photos (see also that of E. tkoci below, Fig. 72 ) of Epischnomyia species in China indicate that members of this genus could be associated with dicotyledonous plants in the undergrowth of leafy forests. Distribution. South Korea ( ROHÁČEK 2009 ), China : Sichuan (new record).
