Face with 20 scattered longer and shorter setae. Clypeus with 1 seta.</p><p>Maxillary palpus in poor condition in the specimens studied, with 3 segments; 1 st segment with 2–3 setae and indistinct dorsal patch of sensilla; surface of antennal flagellomeres rugose, 1 st flagellomere yellow, body of 4 th flagellomere 2.45–2.95x as long as wide, longest setae shorter than width of flagellomere, neck darker apically, shorter than wide.

In having the apical part of the gonostylus longer than the gonostylar lobe,in lacking the intergonocoxal lobe, and in having moderately dense setosity of the gonocoxa, Prosciara aduncula sp. nov. resembles P. exsecta Vilkamaa &amp; Hippa, 1996 and P. devexa sp. nov. but can be distinguished from P. exsecta by having a longer distal part of the gonostylus and a more strongly towards apex narrowed gonostylar lobe and from P. devexa in having the gonostylar lobe much narrower. The new species differs from both by having the gonostylar megasetae strongly recurved (see Fig. 29 in Vilkamaa &amp; Hippa (1996) and Figs 1 A and 4 B)).</p><p>Etymology. The name is a Latin adjective, aduncula, bent, referring to the strongly curved gonostylar megasetae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E387F5F949BF3E0ACAB2833C8DA4BB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Brown, slightly paler than thorax. Setae dark, long and stout. Hypopygium (Fig. 1 B). Brown. Intergonocoxal area without lobe; largely non-setose, densely microtrichose. Gonocoxa much longer than gonostylus, with long and dense setosity ventrally; with setose membrane. Gonostylus with dorsomedial lobe at basal half, larger than distal part of gonostylus, slightly oblique, in ventral view apical part of lobe and apex of gonostylus very close to each other; gonostylar lobe with 4 megasetae well separated from each other. Tegmen (Figs 12 B, 14 C) wider than long, nearly straight laterally, slightly narrowed towards apex, turned dorsad apically, with blunt apicolateral teeth, with rather large aedeagal teeth. Aedeagal apodeme long and slender.</p><p>Discussion. Prosciara aequilobata sp. nov. is similar to the type species of the genus P. porrecta (Lengersdorf, 1929) and to P. germana Vilkamaa &amp; Hippa, 1996, P. gibbosa Hippa &amp; Vilkamaa, 1991 and P. mediana sp. nov. in having a wide intergonocoxal area without a lobe, that is setose and richly microtrichose, in having long and dense setosity of the gonocoxa, in having setose membrane of gonocoxa and in having the tegmen with apicolateral teeth, the apical part of the tegmen with the aedeagal teeth turned dorsad and in having a very long aedeagal apodeme. Prosciara operta and P. tenebrosa share some of these characters but their tegmena are damaged in the specimens studied, so that only the long aedeagal apodeme is detectable.</p><p>The other species mentioned above have the gonostylar lobe strongly oblique to the apical part of the gonostylus, whereas P. aequilobata has the lobe only slightly oblique and P. tenebrosa has it parallel with the apical part. Moreover, P. aequilobata differs from P. tenebrosa in having the gonostylar megasetae nearly equal in size and placed wide apart from each other (of different sizes in a dense group in P. tenebrosa) and in having a longer and more densely setose gonocoxa (Figs 1 B, 10 B and 11).</p><p>For distinguishing P. mediana, see under the latter.</p><p>Etymology. The name is derived from the Latin words aequalis, similar, and lobus, lobe, referring to the position of the gonostylar lobe.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E387F5F94FBF390ACAB7B33884A6C9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In its long and slender gonostylar lobe and in having megasetae at the gonostylar apex, Prosciara anguina sp. nov. resembles most P. biloba Hippa &amp; Vilkamaa, 1991, P. duplex Hippa &amp; Vilkamaa, 1991 and P. incisa Vilkamaa &amp; Hippa, 1996 specimens. Prosciara anguina is similar to P. biloba and P. duplex in having a short, wide intergonocoxal lobe, whereas P. incisa has the lobe narrow. Prosciara anguina and P. biloba have a shorter and more slender gonostylar lobe than P. duplex and P. incisa . Furthermore, Prosciara biloba and P. duplex have many megasetae at the gonostylar apex, whereas P. anguina has two and P. incisa one (but also only one apical megaseta in one paratype of P. anguina).</p><p>Etymology.

Except for having a differently shaped gonostylar lobe and a narrow gonocoxa, Prosciara cymosa sp. nov. resembles the type species of the genus, P. porrecta, and related species (see under P. aequilobata) in having a very long and dense ventral setosity of the gonocoxa and in having the intergonocoxal area wide, setose and richly microtrichose. Moreover, the tegmen of Prosciara cymosa is reminiscent in being apically sclerotized, with apicolateral teeth and with a long aedeagal apodeme. The tegmen is completely membranous laterally, and its exact form is not detectable.</p><p>Prosciara cymosa is distinguished from all other congeners in having its gonostylar lobe with megasetae not only apically but all over of the lobe and in having its tegmen with an X-formed dorsal sclerotization.</p><p>Etymology. The name is a Latin adjective, cymosa, with shoots, referring to the placement of the megasetae on the gonostylar lobe.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E387F5F942BF340ACAB64B3865A55D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Prosciara minacis sp. nov. resembles the Burmese P. diversa Vilkamaa &amp; Hippa, 1996, P. hastigera Vilkamaa &amp; Hippa, 1996, P. pentadactyla Hippa &amp; Vilkamaa, 1991, P. torulosa Vilkamaa &amp; Hippa, 1996, P. tumidula Vilkamaa &amp; Hippa, 1996 and the Chinese P. gyracantha Shi &amp; Huang, 2013 in having the gonostylar lobe arising from the basal part of the gonostylus and in having long gonostylar megasetae well separated from each other, at the apex of the lobe. Prosciara minacis differs from P. gyracantha, P. pentadactyla and P. torulosa by having its gonostylus much more slender and from P. torulosa and P. tumidula by having the gonostylar megasetae four in number (five in those two species). Moreover, Prosciara minacis and P. hastigera can be distinguished from each other by the former having a shorter distal part of the gonostylus, and by having the intergonocoxal lobe more caudal in position (Fig. 7 A and Fig. 13 A and B in Vilkamaa &amp; Hippa (1996)).</p><p>Etymology. The name is Latin, minacis, threatener, referring to the sharp, outstanding gonostylar megasetae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E387F5F944BF2D0ACAB38F3C94A3AD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In many features of the hypopygium, Prosciara operta sp. nov. resembles the type species P. porrecta and similar species (see under P. aequilobata), including the dorsal lobe of the gonostylus being in an oblique position. Prosciara operta differs by having the lobe almost completely on the dorsal side of the gonostylus, with only the megasetae visible in the ventral view, by having the megasetae in a dense unequal group and by having a relatively longer gonocoxa. Prosciara operta differs specifically from from P. tenebrosa sp. nov. by having the gonostylar lobe oblique to, not parallel to the distal part of the gonostylus (Figs 8 and 10 B).</p><p>Etymology. The name is a Latin adjective, operta, hidden, referring to the placement of the lobe, in ventral view seen behind the distal part of the gonostylus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E387F5F95ABF2F0ACAB3D73B9BA4A3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Tegmen (Fig. 13 F) as long as wide, subquadrangular, strongly sclerotized laterally and apically, with medial part of apex unsclerotized; with long lateral parts of basal apodeme; with many large aedeagal teeth. Aedeagal apodeme rather long.</p><p>Discussion. The body of the paratype of Prosciara perfidiosa sp. nov. is in poor condition and the description is based mainly on the holotype. However, the hypopygium of the paratype is well preserved and allows a positive identification. I place the species in Prosciara with reservation. It shares with other species many key features of the genus, such as the dorsomedial lobe of the gonostylus, the long fore metatarsus and the uneven row of stout setae in the fore tibial organ and the tarsal claws with large perpendicular teeth. However, the base of the hypopygium is untypical, the margins of the gonocoxae being ventrally separated only by a narrow cleft and the tegmen is strongly sclerotized with very long lateral parts of the basal apodeme. Moreover, the first segment of the maxillary palpus is roundish, not elongated as in other known species of Prosciara .</p><p>Prosciara perfidiosa sp. nov. resembles most P. producta Tuomikoski, 1960, P. ellipsoidea Shi &amp; Huang, 2013, P. globoidea Shi &amp; Huang, 2013 and P. oligotricha Shi &amp; Huang, 2013 in having a moderately slender gonostylus with a dorsomedial lobe near the apex of the gonostylus. Prosciara perfidiosa differs from P. ellipsoidea by the lack of the intergonocoxal lobe and from other species mentioned above by the structures described above (see Fig. 13 F and Fig. 6 in Shi et al. 2013)).</p><p>Etymology. The name is a Latin adjective, perfidiosa, treacherous, referring to the ambiguous placement of the species into Prosciara .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E387F5F958BF2E0ACAB7B33888A6CA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In having lateral processes in its tegmen, Prosciara pinnifera sp. nov. is similar to P. clypeata sp. nov., P. nudimana sp. nov., P. sinensis Shi &amp; Huang, 2013 and P. tetracantha Shi &amp; Huang, 2013 . Prosciara pinnifera and P. nudimana are similar in lacking the intergonocoxal lobe, present in the other three species. Prosciara pinnifera differs from P. nudimana by having the gonostylar lobe shorter, setose and narrowed towards apex and by having the lobe nearly parallel with the distal part of the gonostylus (Figs 7 B and 9 B). All species mentioned above as well as the presumably related Prosciara quadridigitata (Yang, Zhang &amp; Yang, 1995) have unusually short antennal flagellomeres for the genus, see for example Fig. 14 in Shi et al. (2013). Furthermore, the otherwise different Prosciara didactyla Kjaerandsen, 1994 has very short antennal flagellomeres.</p><p>Etymology.
