Diversity of Manota Williston (Diptera: Mycetophilidae) in a Malaysian rainforest: description of twenty-seven new sympatric species Author Hippa, Heikki text Zootaxa 2006 2006-03-30 1161 1 1 49 https://biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.1161.1.1 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.1161.1.1 1175­5334 5058330 A1C3B9CA-8A9D-4B41-9F9D-81BFC31CFB2D Manota globigera sp. n. ( Figs. 13A, B ) A small­sized Manota . Male. Head . Flagellomere 4, Fig. 13A . Maxillary palpus with palpomere 3 bearing 4 apically expanded curved sensilla; palpomere 4 with parasegment. Thorax. Anepisternum setose. Anterior basalare setose. Preepisternum 2 setose. Laterotergite non­setose. Episternum 3 setose. Wing . Length 1.3 mm . Wing membrane dorsally with few setae at posterior margin. Sc distally of h non­setose. Setae indicating A1 not observed. Hypopygium ( Fig. 13B ). Sternite 9 large, laterally united with gonocoxa and posteriorly extending nearly as far as ventral part of gonocoxa, posterior margin almost angularly convex; setosity similar to ventral setosity of gonocoxa. Gonocoxa dorsally in position I with rounded lobe bearing many strong setae or megasetae with blunt tips, in position III with 1 flattened megaseta together with normal seta, both arising from common basal body, no megasetae in position IV; no prominent apical lobes or apicolateral setae. Gonostylus rather small, bilobed with larger ventral and smaller dorsal lobe, apical setae of ventral lobe very strong. Parastylar lobe present, directed posteriad, with several setae on apical part. Tegmen unusual in shape with basal part narrow and with convex sides. Sternite 10 large, details difficult to see in the single specimen because of dissection and separate mounting of parts, setae scattered. FIGURE 13. Antennal flagellomere 4, lateral view (A, C); hypopygium, dorsal (B, E) and ventral view (D). A, B. Manota globigera sp. n. (holotype). C, D, E. Manota curvata sp. n. (D holotype, E paratype). Scale for A and C 0.05 mm; for B, D, and E 0.10 mm. Female and preimaginal stages unknown. Discussion Structurally M. globigera is reminiscent of M. clausa , M. heptacantha , M. ulu , M. simplex , and M. biloba , but it differs by having a non­setose laterotergite. Furthermore, it differs from all these species by having the posterior margin of tergite 9 convex, not transversely straight, and by having a distinct flattened group III megaseta. The shape of the tegmen is also unique. The bilobate gonostylus of M. globigera resembles that of M. biloba . Types Holotype .
