Keilbachia

Hippa, Heikki & Vilkamaa, Pekka, 2007, The flagria group of Keilbachia Mohrig (Diptera, Sciaridae) in a biodiversity hot spot: nine new sympatric species from Kambaiti, Myanmar, Zootaxa 1556, pp. 31-50 : 49

Keilbachia sp. 3

Material studied. 1 male, N. E. Burma ( Myanmar), Kambaiti, 7000 ft., 17.4.1935, R. Malaise (in NRMS).

Discussion. The specimen is so pale after KOH treatment that it cannot be studied in detail. The gonostylus has three long curved megasetae arising from a common basal body, no other megasetae and a rather small apical tooth. The tegmen is similar to K. foveolata , Fig. 8 C, but there is a large long-microtrichose field apicolaterally. We leave the species undescribed until better specimens are found.
