Conicera rectangularis Liu ( Figs. 28A–F ) Conicera rectangularis Liu, 2000: 169 ( ♂ , China : Yunnan ). Description. Male. Body length 1.15–1.33 mm . Frons dark brown. Supra-antennal setae present. Lower fronto-orbital setae absent. Lower interfrontal setae 1/2 length of upper interfrontal setae, and the distance between each other a little shorter than that between upper interfrontal setae. First flagellomere ( Fig. 28A ) brown, 0.28 mm long, with an aspect ratio of 3: 1; arista 0.40 mm long,1.43 times as long as that of first flagellomere. Palpus dark brown, with 6 short setae apically. Thorax dark brown. Mid and hind legs brown, fore leg yellowish brown. Fore tibia with 13 small near-dorsal setulae, the uppermost being longer than the rest. Mid femur ( Fig. 28B ) with naked area on basal 1/3 and with a long and relatively thin groove on apical half, without an apical process. Wing length 1.16 mm . Costal index 0.43, costal ratio 1.8:1, costal setulae short, 0.028 –0.032 mm long, second section with 10 dorsal setulae. Rs without basisetula. Halter dark brown. Abdominal tergites dark brown. Terminalia brown. Left surstylus ( Figs. 28C, E ) reniform, thinner basally, with 16 pointed inner teeth arranged in two rows. Right surstylus ( Figs. 28D, F ) arc-shaped apically, with 16 pointed inner teeth arranged in two rows. With a membranous, rectangular basidorsal process. Female. Unknown. Specimens examined. 1♂ ( holotype ), Yunnan , Mengyang , 9-May-1991 , Guangchun Liu ; 1♂ ( paratype ), Yunnan , Mengyang , 6-May-1991 , Guangchun Liu ; 1♂ , Yunnan , Nujiang Lushui , Yunnan , 21-Aug-2020 , Guangchun Liu ; 2♂ , Guangdong , Nanling , Jiulianshan , 6-Jun-2020 , Zhengyan Zhou . Distribution. China ( Guangdong , Yunnan ). Remarks. The sense-organ of mid femur of this species was ignored in the original description (see Liu 2000 ). This species is similar to C. kempi Brunetti, 1924 , it differs from the latter by narrow sensory groove, shorter naked area of mid femur and rectangular membranous basidorsal process. In the key of Disney (1990) , the species runs to couplet 6. to C. flavipalpus Beyer, 1958 , it is different from the latter by long sensory groove, brown palpus and long tongue-like left surstylus. It is distinguished from C. procericornis Schmitz, 1927 by long groove and different costal ratios.
