Legs. Including coxae yellow, tarsomeres 3–5 blackish brown; all tarsi simple, with segment 5 flattened dorso-ventrally, with small pulvilli and claws; fore and mid coxae with yellow anterior and apical setae; hind coxa with 1 yellow bristle at middle; fore leg without strong setae and long hairs; mid femur simple, bearing 1 strong but short anterior subapical bristle and 2 rows of ventral hairs, half as long as height of femur; mid tibia simple, with 1 anterodorsal and 1 posterodorsal setae in basal half and 3 apical setae; no ventral setae; hind femur with 1 rather short anterior subapical seta, with elongate dorsal setae in basal third; hind tibia simple, with short setae, 1 anterodorsal and 1 posterodorsal at basal third, 1 dorsal seta at middle; hind basitarsus with 1 short ventral seta at base; tibia and tarsomere (from first to fifth) length (mm): fore leg: 0.48/0.23/0.13/0.09/0.05/0.07, mid leg: 0.63/0.34/0.16/0.11/0.07/0.06, hind leg: 0.74/0.21/0.22/0.12/0.09/0.07. Wing (Fig. 3). Hyaline, with greyish tinge, veins brown; costa simple, with simple costal setulae; ratio of part of costa between R 2+3 and R 4+5 to that between R 4+5 and M 1+2, 24/14; R 2+3 and R 4+5 diverging towards wing apex; R 4+5 and M 1+2 slightly convex anteriorly, subparallel in distal half; ratio of dm–m to apical part of M 4, 8/35; anal vein week, not reaching wing margin; anal lobe developed; lower calypter small, yellow, with yellow setae; halter yellow. Abdomen (Fig. 4). Black, cylindrical, with short light setae; terga 4 and 5 bearing very long light setae ventrally, about as long as tergum 5; tergum 6 hidden, glabrous; sternum 4 well developed, with 2 long light setae laterally; sternum 5 divided into 2 rounded sclerites, each bearing very long light setae distally (Fig. 5); segment 7 concealed in dry specimen; segment 8 black, large, covering about half of left lateral surface of epandrium, covered with short setae; hypopygium (Fig. 6) black, with small yellow cercus; epandrium black, globular, longer than high; hypandrium basoventral, narrow, straight at apex; phallus simple and narrow; basoventral epandrial lobe short, thick, with few long and short setae and thin process; midventral epandrial lobe digitiform, narrow, with 1 long seta at apex and 1 short seta at base; distoventral epandrial lobe thin, almost reaching apex of surstylus, curved at apex, with short preapical spine; 4 lateral epandrial setae at apex; surstylus small, slightly projected, with 1 thin and 1 thick lobes bearing few short setae; postgonite hidden between surstyli, short, with narrowly divided lobes covered with spicules distally; cercus with long narrow ventral plate (concealed) bearing 7 short simple curved setae in one row; basodorsal cercal plate small, rounded, with 5 very long yellow setae, about half as long as epandrium, and several short setae.</p>
            <p>Measurements (mm). Body length 1.5, antenna length 0.5, wing length 1.7, wing width 0.6.</p>
            <p>Female. Unknown.</p>
            <p> ETYMOLOGY: The species is named after the collector of the holotype, Russian dipterologist Dr. Nikita Vikhrev (ZMMU) . </p>
            <p>DISTRIBUTION. Turkey.</p>
            <p> DIAGNOSIS.  Micromorphus vikhrevi sp.n. differs from all other species of the genus in unusually long setae on male cercus and segments 4 and 5 of abdomen. The new species keys to  M. minusculus and  M. mesasiaticus [Negrobov, 2000; Grichanov, 2007], differing from them in dorsoapical arista-like stylus, shape of cercus, surstylus and epandrial lobes [Negrobov, 2000: figs 8, 9].  M. minusculus and  M. mesasiaticus were described and figured with apical arista-like stylus, short setae on cercus, narrow lobes of surstylus and long basoventral epandrial lobe. </p>
