Eumanota jani sp. n.

( Figs 1–4 )

Holotype: male, PAPUA NEW GUINEA, Madang prov., Hapurpi village, nr. Halopa mission, 700 m a.s.l., 5°05’S, 145°41’E, primary rain forest, February 2001, AMARI & NOVOTNÝ leg. (Malaise trap) coll. J. Š. (right hind tarsus, right hind tarsomeres 3–5 and fore tibial spur lost; genitalia with segment 8 in a plastic microvial with glycerol.

Measurements in mm: body length 3.80, wing length 3.63, wing breadth 1.17, length of palpus 2.30.

Entire body, including abdominal tergites dark brown.

Face 0.23 mm broad with dense strong black setae. Postocular setae strong. Antennae dark brown, flagellum 2.36 mm long with 0.03 mm long dense hairs. Basal flagellomere 0.115 mm long, 0.10 mm broad, penultimate flagellomere 0.155 mm long and 0.045 mm broad, apical one 0.175 mm long and 0.04 mm broad. Palpi wax yellow, more than 2 times as long as thorax.

Length of thorax 1.11 mm. Scutum dark brown, pleura incl. epimera somewhat lighter. Antepronotum and propleuron with strong black setae. Dorsal 1/3 of anepisternum and laterotergite with short setae, caudal part of laterotergite with long black setae. Katepisternum, metepisternum and metatergite (metanotum) bare. Scutellum with 6 long marginal setae (1 broken off).

Coxae yellow, except small apical parts. Femora dark brown, except for basal ca. 3/5 of hind femur, which is yellow. Anterior half of fore coxa with medium-long stiff black setae. Tibiae and tarsi yellow (ochrous). Tibiae with well ordered rows of short black setulae; anteroventral, anterodorsal and posterodorsal rows of short setae on mid and hind tibiae, fore tibia only with anteroventral and posteroventral rows. Length of femur, tibia, first tarsomere and tibial spurs (in mm): fore: 1.10, 0.715, 0.99, 0.44; mid: 1.32, 1.32, 1.24, 0.385, 0.185; hind: 1.32, 3.11, 1.155, 0.53, 0.265.

Wing light brown, apical 2/5 of wing darker brown. Veins dark brown. Costal fringe short, wing margin otherwise with extremely short fringe of brown hairs. All veins dorsally with short black setulae. Costa almost reaches M 1. Base of M 1 faint. Vein Sc about 2 times as long as Hu, also setose. Cross-vein R-M shorter than R 2 (which is 0.088 mm), R 1 0.44 mm long, Rs 0.67 mm long. Cu 2 (cf. KRZEMIŃSKI & EVENHUIS 2000) distinct on a section of ca. 1/3 of Cu 1. Anal vein runs close to Cu-s, distinctly dark brown, continued to ca. 4/5 of Cu 1. Cells m 2 and m 3 with about 20 short perpendicular macrotrichia dorsally, anal region (down from Cu-s) with more numerous similar macrotrichia. Halteres white.

Abdomen dark brown. Tergite 9 and proctiger ( Fig. 1 ) 1.38× as long as gonocoxites, otherwise similar to those of E. leucura (cf. fig. of SØLI 2002). Gonocoxites robust, fused on a little more than half of their length, caudal apex almost straight. Gonostylus ( Figs 3–4 ) transverse with a sharp medio-caudal apex and 2 short but thick setae subapically; lateral parts of gonostylus with numerous longer setae. Parameres slender, almost straight. Aedeagus slender with narrowly rounded apex.

Female unknown.

Etymology: This new species is named after Dr. JAN ŠEVČÍK (Slezké zemské muzeum, Opava, Czech Republic) for his support of our efforts to build up a Mycetophiloidea collection in the HNHM and for his achievements in Diptera taxonomy.

Eumanota jani sp. n. is an easily recognizable species. Male genitalia are similar to E. malukuensis with regard to the shape of gonocoxites and inner genitalia. However, shape of tergite 9 and particularly shape and armature of gonostylus are distinctly different; its bicolorous hind femur is also conspicuous.
