Macrorrhyncha anatolica
sp. n.
(
Figs 1–3
)
Diagnosis. This species resembles
M. geranias
(
LOEW
, 1869)
,
M. muglensis
and
M. thracica
in having a bare mediotergite, proboscis longer than eye height, dorsal process of gonocoxite narrow in lateral view and gonostyle not elongate.
M. anatolica
differs from
M. geranias
in the entirely black coloration and in having a clearly visible fold in the lateral margin of tergite 9 (
Fig. 10
) in
M. geranias
. The new species differs from
M. muglensis
and
M. thracica
in the absence of having a clearly visible fold in the lateral margin of tergite 9 (
Fig. 1
).
Description
Male. Body length 4.9–5.0 mm (n = 2). Wing length 3.6–4.0 mm.
Coloration
(specimens in alcohol). Head brown, mouthparts brownish yellow. Scape, pedicel and base of first flagellomere yellowish, basal flagellomeres pale brownish and apical yellowish. Mesoscutum yellow, with three fused dark brown stripes. Scutellum yellowish. Mediotergite brown medially, yellow laterally. Antepronotum yellow brownish; proepisternum yellow. Anepisternum and preepisternum
2 in
lower half brown, in upper yellow. Anepimeron yellow. Laterotergite in upper 2/3 yellow, lower 1/3 brown. Wing unmarked, yellowish. Veins brownish. Haltere yellow. Legs yellow, tarsi brownish, spurs brown. Abdominal tergites and sternites brown medially, yellow laterally, with dark bristling; tergite 7 to 8 and sternite 7 to 8 entirely dark brown. Tergite 9 and gonocoxites brown, gonostyles paler.
Head
. Antenna about as long as thorax. Flagellomeres 2–12 as long as broad. Proboscis as long as height of head. Palpus slender, little longer than proboscis. Lateral ocellus about its own diameter distant from eye margin.
Thorax
. Strong black setae are situated in dorsocentral and acrostichal stripes, and on sides of mesoscutum. Scutellum with several long black setae. Mediotergite bare. Proepisternum with some dp = dorsal process of gonocoxite small black setae. Some small posterior prospiracular setulae present. Other pleurae bare, excluding some very small setulae on anepimeron.

paratype
: costa extends to R

ends in costa about thrice its length from tip of R

Legs
. Setae dark. Tibiae with irregular setulae and with short strong setae in irregular series. Ratio basitarsus I: tibia I = 0.8.
Male terminalia
(
Figs 1–3
). Lateral margin of tergite 9 without clearly visible fold, distal margin with small emargination (
Fig. 1
). Gonocoxites joined by a narrow bridge ventrally and with internal process with a long apical seta (
Fig. 2
). Dorsal process of gonocoxite in lateral view not enlarged distally (
Fig. 3
). Gonostyle short and broad in lateral view (
Fig. 3
).
Female.
Thorax and abdomen much paler in coloration. Pleurae yellow, only anepisternum and preepisternum 2 with brownish fore margin. Mesoscutum without dark stripes. Abdominal tergites yellowish to yellow brownish. Female terminalia yellow.
Etymology.
