Psychomyia conoidea
n. sp.
(
Figs 2
a–2e)
Description:
Length of each forewing
3.4–3.6 mm
(n = 5). Specimens in alcohol with compound eyes black, body brown except ventral surface light brown. Forewings with folks II, III, IV, and V present, crossveins
r
,
s
, and
r-m
more or less zigzagged; hind wings with R
1
atrophied but discernible, with forks II, III, and V present (
Fig. 7b
).
Male genitalia:
Sternum IX subrectangular in lateral view (
Fig. 2a
), with anterior and posterior margins having shallow concavities; tergum IX (a.s. in
Figs 2a, 2b, 2e
) divided into pair of apical sclerites strongly fused with preanal appendages basally; in lateral view (a.s. in
Fig. 2a
) each with distal portion produced into 2-branched process, in dorsal view (a.s. in
Fig. 2b
) concave mesally as pair of parentheses, in ventral view (a.s. in
Fig. 2e
) each with deep concavity at mid-length, forming slender basal pinecone-like process and large apical process serrate mesally. Preanal appendages setose, in lateral view (pre.app. in
Fig. 2a
) each with apicodorsal angle produced into subtriangular process; in dorsal view with distal ends bending mesad apically around tergum IX apical sclerites (pre.app. in
Fig. 2b
). Coxopodites indiscernible in lateral and ventral view (
Fig. 2a, 2d
). Harpagones bifid at base, in lateral view each with dorsal branch short and broad, ventral branch slender and curved dorsad (har. in
Fig. 2a
); in ventral view, dorsal branch subrectangular with distal end slightly concave, ventral branch bar-shaped (har. in
Fig. 2d
). Phallic apparatus (
Fig. 2c
) with endotheca acclivous, basal portion tube-like with pair of processes (
Figs 2c, 2d
) and two small processes at top, distal portion produced into elongate-triangular process.
Diagnosis:
This species belongs to Schmid’s
P
.
pusilla
Species Group and resembles
Psychomyia tiani
Schmid
1997
in the phallic apparatus. The differences are as follows: (1) the preanal appendages in
P. conoidea
n. sp.
with height nearly equal length, rather than length much greater than height as in
P. tiani
; (2) in lateral view, preanal appendages of
P. conoidea
n. sp.
with apices sharp, rather than rounded as in
P. tiani
; (3) in lateral view, harpagones of
P. conoidea
n. sp.
each with dorsal branch shorter than ventral branch, rather than of equal length as in
P. tiani
.

Distribution

China (Zhe-jiang).
Etymology
:
The Latin adjective
conoideus
, -
a
, -
um
means “conical”, referring to the conical setose processes at the inner bases of the apical sclerites of tergum IX when viewed dorsally.
