However, females of Lactistomyia koreana sp. nov. can be distinguished from the other two species by the combination of following characters: legs mostly blackish brown; hind legs with femur and tibia entirely black, with bluish iridescence, without pale brown ring in middle; hind femur with additional ventral spines; hind tibia slightly inflated distally.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Female (Fig. 1 A, B). Head slightly lustrous, black with greyish microtrichia. Eyes holoptic, subdivided into dorsal section with slightly enlarged globular ommatidia and ventral section; ocellar tubercle prominent, with pair of ocellar setae thin, elongated, somewhat proclinate; postocular setae thin, black, proclinate; lower occiput with sparse, short, pale hairs. Antenna black, microtrichose except stylus; scape short, cylindrical; pedicel globular, slightly enlarged, with 2–3 thin, black, dorsal setae projected anteriorly; postpedicel ovate laterally, about twice as long as wide, yellowish basally; stylus arista-like, about five times as long as postpedicel. Face black, narrow, microtrichose; palpus slender, distal apex flattened, slightly shorter than labrum, microtrichose, with distinct black seta at tip dorsally and projected ventrally; palpifer sclerotized, bare, ovate laterally, tapered anteriorly, length subequal to palpus; proboscis blackish brown, prementum black, projected anteriorly; labrum with triangular epipharyngeal blade bifurcated at tip; hypopharynx with row of sparse spines ventrally. Thorax strongly arched, slightly lustrous, black, with brownish setulae except on dorsal portion of prescutum. Proepisternum slightly projected anteroventrally with thin setulae at anterior margin; postpronotal lobe prominent, anteroapically narrow, apex blunt. Scutum with brownish setulae, except prescutum bare, and two pairs of long, proclinate, black acrostichal seta in front of prescutellar depression; notopleuron laterally flattened, about as wide as mesopleuron in lateral view, with two strong black setae and row of sparse supra-alar setae along dorsal margin; intra-alar with a row of pale setae. Scutellum broad, with blunt apex, bearing 10 strong apical scutellar setae getting progressively shorter laterally; post-alar with one black seta. Legs slightly lustrous, black except mid legs with tarsomeres 1–2 yellow in colour; coxae microtrichose with brownish setulae and dense, black hair-like setae distally. Fore leg blackish brown; trochanter and femur with fine, short, black setae; tibia with protibial gland basally and two black setae at distal margin dorsally; fore tarsus blackish yellow, with black setae dorsally; tarsomere 1 with three distinct black setae dorsally; tarsomere 2 with distinct black seta at distal margin dorsally. Mid leg slender, blackish brown, with black setae; mid coxa with pale hair-like setae; mid tibia with two rows of four strong, black setae dorsally and ventrally, two brownish, bristle-like setae at distal margin, and one distinct long, bristle-like seta ventrally toward tarsus; mid tarsomere 1 brownish, with row of three black, bristle-like setae dorsally, and one distinct long, brown seta laterally at one-fifth from base. Hind leg with femur and tibia bluish iridescent; hind coxa with hair-like, pale setae posteriorly; hind trochanter with dense brownish hair-like setae and one short, thin, black spine ventrally; hind femur incrassated distally, with rows of long, black setae dorsally, and 20–23 black spines ventrally with two rows of five at basal half, one row of 10 distally; hind tibia slightly inflated distally, length about twice as long as tarsomeres 2–4 combined, with row of black setae dorsally and one distinct bristle-like, brown seta dorsally at distal margin; hind tarsus blackish brown, with setae black, except tarsomeres 2–3 brownish in colour; hind tarsomere 1 with brown spines ventrally. Wing (Fig. 1 B) nearly hyaline with membrane tinged brown, pterostigma at end of costa wide. Alula and squama with pale hairs at margin. Cell dm length subequal to last section of wing vein M 1; wing vein Rs weaker at proximal half and bent at obtuse angle; wing vein R 4 + 5 and M 1 slightly convergent near radial margin. Halter subtranslucent, blackish yellow with brownish microtrichia. Abdomen strongly sclerotized, lustrous black, bluish iridescent laterally, tubular, tapered posteriorly; tergites almost bare except tergite 1 with dense, long, pale setae projected posteriorly. Terminalia withdrawn with setae black; tergite 8 almost encircling abdomen; tergite 10 microtrichose; cercus length subequal to tergite 10 with greyish microtrichia. Length of body 5.2 mm, of wing 4.1 mm.</p><p>Male (Fig. 1 C – F). Similar to female, except the following: acrostichal setae on prescutellar depression and apical scutellar setae more prominent; mid tarsomeres 1–2 blackish brown. Abdomen truncated posteriorly, with brownish microtrichia dorsally; tergites 5–8 with distinct brownish lateral setae on posterior margin. Terminalia (Fig. 1 E, F) asymmetric, rotated nearly 90 ° to the right, with strong, pale bristles on posterior margin; hypandrium broad, long, reaching the margin of the left epandrial lamella, with brownish setulae near distal margin; hypandrial lobe triangular, tapered posteriorly, short, about one-quarter length of basal portion of hypandrium, with one distinct bristle about one-third length of hypandrium; epandrial lamellae with strong preapical bristles, length about as long as hypandrial lobe; right surstylus bifurcated, with ventral lobe broad, long, and dorsal lobe short, digitiform with narrow apex. Length of body 4.2 mm, wing 3.6 mm.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Ale-Rocha (2008) proposed a species group that consists of the three Neotropical species, Lactistomyia lepida, L. paranaensis, and L. dimidiata, that are characterized by having hind legs lacking a conspicuously curved tibia and an anterior longitudinal furrow. Remarkably, Lactistomyia koreana sp. nov. exhibits these diagnostic characters and therefore can be included in this species group.</p><p>The biology of Lactistomyia is entirely unknown. However, based on the presence of raptorial hind legs, an anteriorly projecting labrum, and a serrated epipharyngeal blade in female specimens of Lactistomyia koreana sp. nov., adult flies of this genus are inferred to be predatory. These flies presumably capture prey in mid-flight, as observed in other species of Hybotinae, rather than hunting on the ground, as is typical of species in other hybotid subfamilies, such as Tachydromia spp., which possess a short, ventrally arched labrum (Sinclair and Cumming 2006).</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The specific epithet is derived from the country of origin of the new species.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Palearctic: Korea (Gangwon-do)</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FA016A59A21A5C0DA5B9D9C9B3DEE4D0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
