Hypopygium
(
Figs 121
,
125–126
). Anal tergite with V-shaped bands and posterolateral lobes 17 μm long in dorsal view; anterior margin straight. The anal point stout, parallel-sided, rounded apically, dorsally cover with several small spinulae and bearing 7–9 lateral setae on each side of anal point, 27–34 μm long and 17 μm wide on dorsal view. Gonocoxite 119–122 μm long, along the inner margin with 4–5 setae. The width of the transverse sternapodema
41–51 µm
. Superior volsella oval-shaped (34–51 μm long, 14 μm wide), bearing 2–3 strong apical and 4–5 fine dorsal setae, microtrichia absent. Digitus 24–34 μm long and 10 μm wide. Stem of median volsella straight and parallel-sided, 24–37 μm long, bearing slender lamelliform setae; total length of median volsella 51–58 μm. Inferior volsella curved and rounded apically, 102–119 μm long, with 12–15 setae. Gonostylus straight, 78–88 μm long and expanded at about proximal 1/3 (27–41 μm). HR 1.39–1.52.
Pupa
(n=2, male, female).
Cephalothorax
(
Figs 122
,
127–128
). Cephalic tubercles weakly developed, frontal setae lost. Thoracic horn elongate, 280 μm long, 51 μm wide, without spines; base of thoracic horn oval-shaped 41 μm long, 17 μm wide. Antepronotals 2 (1 median 85 μm long and 1 lateral 85 μm long). Precorneals 3 (1st 85 μm long, 2nd 75 μm long, 3rd 51 μm long). Dorsocentrals 4 (51–68 μm long); distance between Dc2 and Dc3 190 μm. Prealar tubercles rounded. Wing sheath usually with a well-developed “nose”.
Abdomen
1.2–1.8 mm
long (
Figs 129–131
). Hook row 306–344 μm long with 95 spines on tergite II. Tergites II–VI with a pair of longitudinal rounded and oval patches of dark spines on anterior part and shagreen in the anterolateral corners. Length longitudinal patches on tergites II–VI (in μm): 68–71: 71–75: 85–92: 88–102: 119. Tergites VII–IX with a pair bands of pale shagreen in proximal part. Comb of segment VIII 51 μm wide, with dark 7–9 apical and 12–15 dorsal tooth. Anal segment 170 μm long and 170–204 μm wide, each anal lobe with dark strong spines on posterior third and 4–6 brown lamelliform setae. Conjunctives of II–VI segments with double setae sometimes one of them plumose. Segments II–VII with 2–3 simple L setae, VIII withouit seta, IX with 3 pair lamelliform setae dorsally.
Larva
unknown.
Remarks.
The males of
N. yakuefea
(Sasa, Suzuki)
differ well from all known species of the genus
Neozavrelia
by the following combination of characters: body color is light yellow, the last segment of the antenna is short and apically widened, frontal tubercles are absent, sensilla chaetica on ta
1
P
2
are absent (except for
N. paramushirica
sp. nov.
), the anterior margin of tergite IX is straight. When comparing photographs and the morphological description of males of
N. yakuefea
(
Sasa, Suzuki, 2000
)
and
N. ginzanlemeus
(
Sasa, Suzuki, 2001
)
(http://www.
type
.kahaku. go.jp/TypeDB/mediaDetail?cls=diptera&pkey=diptera-000888&lCls=m_diptera&lPkey=275801&detaillnkIdx=0) from
Japan
and the Russian Far East, we did not find significant differences (see
Table 18
). Therefore, we believe that
Neozavrelia ginzanlemeus
(
Sasa, Suzuki, 2001
)
is a junior synonym
Neozavrelia yakuefea
(
Sasa, Suzuki, 2000
)
.
FIGURES 123–126
. The male of
Neozavrelia yakuefea
(Sasa, Suzuki)
. 123—head and maxillary palps; 124—antenna; 125– 126— hypopygium. Scale bar 50 μm.
FIGURES 127–131.
Details of the structure of pupa of
Neozavrelia yakuefea
(Sasa, Suzuki)
. 127—thorax; 128—thoracic horn; 129—tergites II–IX; 75—lateral setae on segments III–IV; 130— anal combs and tergite IX. Scale bar 50 μm.
The pupa of
N. yakuefea
(Sasa, Suzuki)
is well distinguished by the elongated fusiform shape of the thoracic horn and the oval shape of its base, the presence of setae on the conjunctiva of segments II–VI, the presence of 4–6 setae on the anal lobe, and the presence of 95 hook-shaped spines on tergite II.
