Sciasmomyia supraorientalis (Papp, 1984)

( Figs 83–87 )

Lyciella supraorientalis Papp 1984: 172 . Type locality: Russia. Primorsky Krai, Khasan Region, Kedrovaya Pad Biosphere Reserve. Type: Holotype male (ZMUM). Papp 1984: fig. 22 (habitus), figs. 23, 24 (male genitalia). Shatalkinia supraorientalis . Papp & Shatalkin 1998: fig. 19 (habitus), figs. 27, 28 (male genitalia). Shatalkin 1999: 544 (in key).

Sciasmomyia supraorientalis . Shatalkin 2000: 41 (combination). Schacht et al. 2004: 49 (in key). Lee & Han 2009: 210 (redescription, distribution), fig. 1 (habitus, head, scutellum), fig. 2 (male & female terminalia).

Remarks. This species was thoroughly described and figured by Papp (1984) and redescribed and figured by Lee & Han (2009). Therefore, the species is not redescribed here, and genitalic illustrations are given for males in Papp (1984) and Papp & Shatalkin (1998), and for males and females in Lee & Han (2009). This species is darker overall than most other species of Sciasmomyia ( Figs. 83–85 ) (except S. leishanensis and S. tubata , and some speciments of S. longissima ), with very little yellow. Also, the wing is entirely hyaline except for some brown clouding around crossveins r-m and dm-cu, the tips of Sc, R2+3 and R4+5 and M1; veins are pale brown, except dark brown along areas with brown clouding. The coloration of the abdominal tergites vary slightly in different individuals ( Figs 86, 87 ). The male and female genitalia further separate this species from the others in the genus.
