REMARKS
Fan (1974)
recorded
Lispe tienmuensis
(
Figs 9
,
10
) (though the specimens were labeled as
type
material in 1963, it was not until 1974 when the work was published) and noted, “Closely related to
L. orientalis
Wd.
but with narrowed parafacialia, poorly haired mid-femur in both sexes, narrowly pointed anal cerci in male”. But after re-examining the
type
specimens, he corrected
L. tienmuensis
as a synonym for
L. quaerens
and published this synonym in his book,
Key to the Common Flies of
China
(
Fan 1992
).

Wei (
in
Li & Jin 2006
) reported
L. fanjingshanensis
from Mt. Fanjing, Tongren,
Guizhou
. He commented that it is closely related to
L. quaerens
but differs in its greyish blue abdominal pollinosity and developed distiphallus which is bended at a vertical angle (
Fig. 10B
). After going through original description (focus on leg chaetotaxy especially hind legs: femur with complete
ad
row and incomplete
av
row in basal half, tibia with a developed median
ad
) and illustrations of
L. fanjingshanensis
, we propose that it is conspecific to
L. sericipalpis
.
