Anthomyza cuneata
Roháček, 1987
Material examined.
CHINA
:
SICHUAN
:
Pingwu Co., Laohegou Reserve,
32°29′3.20′′N
104°43′9.96′′E
,
1400–2100 m
,
13.–17.v.2016
, 1, O. Lonsdale leg. (
CNCI
, genit. prep.).
Remarks.
Probably the most ancestral species of the
Anthomyza bellatrix
group (see
ROHÁČEK 2009
) characterized by less asymmetry in the male genitalia and internal sclerites of the female genital chamber (cf.
ROHÁČEK 1987
). The above specimen from
Sichuan
differs slightly in the shape of the apical projections of the filum of the distiphallus from that of Nepalese specimens but this small dissimilarity is surely within the variability of this character.
Biology.
Unknown. Habitat data are not indicated in the
type
series (
ROHÁČEK 1987
) nor in the specimen examined here. In
Nepal
, the species was collected at
2000–3500 m
in April to June, therefore it is probable that the specimen from Sichuan was also collected at about
2000 m
(cf. altitude range on its label data).
Distribution.
Anthomyza cuneata
was previously known only from
Nepal
(
ROHÁČEK 1987
). First record from
China
(
Sichuan
).
