New Species And Records Of Hypselothyrea De Meijere (Diptera, Drosophilidae) Author Papp, L. text Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 2003 2004-06-30 49 4 271 294 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.12586958 2064-2474 12586958 Hypselothyrea (Deplanothyrea) longimana sp. n. ( Figs 29–30 ) Holotype male ( MHNG ): INDIA : Meghalaya , Khasi Hills , Nongpoh , 700 m , 5. XI. 1978 , leg. CLAUDE BESUCHET et IVAN LÖBL , No. 42b (left fore tarsi lost, some setae broken but otherwise in good condition; when described in alcohol, later prepared with critical point drier). Paratypes : 1 male ( MHNG , base of abdomen and scutellar area damaged) , 1 male ( HNHM , a faint, immature specimen, genitalia prep., in a microvial): data same as for holotype . Measurements in mm: body length 1.86 ( holotype , with abdomen downcurved), 2.14, 2.145 ( paratypes ). Bodybrown,ventralpartsofpleuradarkerbrown.Structureofbody,particularlysofortheabdomen, similar to H . ( D .) subaptera sp. n. Anterior fronto-orbital thick but definitely shorter than posterior one. Palpal seta 0.105 mm long. Vibrissa 0.065 mm , posterior genal seta 0.07 mm long. Carina distinct, angular, but reaches middle of facial plate only. Arista with 5 dorsal and 2 ventral rays behind apical fork. No postpronotal seta, notopleural small, both supra-alar pairs strong and upright, 1 strong pair of dorsocentral setae ( 0.34 mm long), postalar weak ( 0.083 mm ). Acrostichal microchaetae minute, in 2 row, intra-alar microchaetae rather scattered, in more or less distinct 2*2 rows. Subscutellum distinct (as that of the Tachinidae ), scutellum only 0.12 mm long ( paratype ). Apical scutellar seta perpendicular, 0.33 mm long, no basal scutellars. Legs, incl. basitarsi, dark brown. Bases of femora lighter and tarsomeres 2–5 light yellow. Fore femur with 6 minute anteroventral thornlets, no posteroventral row of setae but only a subapical long posteroventral seta. Completely wingless and without halteres. Tergite 2 and 3 with 2 pairs each of extremely long thick, perpendicular submarginal setae (longest 0.275 mm ), other (discal and marginal) abdominal setae also rather strong. Male epandrium subventrally with 3 long thick setae (similarly to H . ( D .) amputata sp. n. ) ( Fig. 29 ). Strong thick thorn emerge almost evenly on medial surface of surstylus ( Fig. 29 ). Inner genitalia ( Fig. 30 ) similar to those of H . ( D .) amputata , but both medial and lateral parameral setae are shorter. Female unknown. Based on similarities in male genitalia, I think, this new species is related to H . ( D .) amputata (although it has only 1 pair of dorsocentrals); they are probably derivatives of the same stem species. The very distant occurrence of these two species makes us to think of several other unknown wingless or reduced-winged species of this group in soils of SE Asia.
