Type species.
Parampelomyia yukawai Elsayed and Tokuda, sp. nov. here designated.
Description.
Adult, head: Eyes with rounded facets (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ). Antenna: flagellomeres I and II fused; flagellomeres cylindrical, but terminal female flagellomeres successively shorter, ending with spherical terminal flagellomere (Figs 1C, D View Figure 1 , 2D, E View Figure 2 ). Mouthparts: labrum triangular; labella hemispherical; palpus 4-segmented, with palpiger (Fig. 2A, F View Figure 2 ). - Thorax: Anepimeron with setae; mesanepisternum with scales; katepisternum bare. Legs without ventroapical extension on tarsomere I (Fig. 2G View Figure 2 ); tarsal claws curved at midlength, untoothed (Fig. 2H View Figure 2 ). Wing (Fig. 2I View Figure 2 ): R1 joining C before wing midlength; R5 joining C slightly posteriad of wing apex; C broken after conjunction with R5; wing fold present; M4 forked with CuA. - Female abdomen: Ovipositor (Figs 3A, B View Figure 3 , 4A-E View Figures 4 ): protrusible portion needle-like, pigmented, and bulbous at base, ending with fused and sclerotized cerci. - Male abdomen: Terminalia (Fig. 5B, C View Figure 5 ): gonocoxite extending ventrally as convex lobe beyond insertion of gonostylus, with long setae apically; gonostylus with 2 teeth, each of unfused denticles; cerci ellipsoid; hypoproct bilobed; aedeagus tapered apically. - Pupa: Exuviae hyaline, except projections of antennal bases, prothoracic spiracle and abdominal dorsal spines pigmented (Fig. 6A, B, E View Figure 6 ). Vertex with 2 cephalic papillae on each side, outermost papillae with long seta (Fig. 6C View Figure 6 ). Abdominal segments II-VI with spiracles. Abdominal terga I-VII with 6 dorsal papillae, outermost 2 with setae; tergum VIII with 2 setose dorsal papillae. - Mature larva: Cylindrical. Spatula bilobed (Fig. 7A View Figure 7 ). Two triplets of lateral papillae on each side of thoracic segments. Thoracic segments with 2 asetose sternal papillae and 2 asetose ventral papillae. Abdominal segments I-VIII with 4 asetose sternal papillae and 2 asetose ventral papillae. Six setose dorsal papillae on thoracic segments and abdominal segments I-VIII; abdominal segment VIII with 2 setose dorsal papillae. Anus located ventrally. Terminal segment with 2 corniform, 2 asetose and 6 setose papillae (Fig. 7B View Figure 7 ).
Diagnosis.
This new genus can be distinguished from other known schizomyiine genera by the following combination of characters: palpus 4-segmented (Fig. 2A, F View Figure 2 ); tarsomere I without ventroapical extension (Fig. 2G View Figure 2 ); tarsal claws untoothed and bent at midlength (Fig. 2H View Figure 2 ); protrusible part of ovipositor bulbous at base, ending with fused sclerotized cerci (Figs 3A, B View Figure 3 , 4C, D View Figures 4 ); gonostylus bidentate (Fig. 5B, C View Figure 5 ); larval abdominal segment VIII with 2 dorsal papillae; and larval terminal abdominal segment with 2 corniform, 2 asetose and 4 setose papillae (Fig. 7B View Figure 7 ).
Derivatio nominis.
The generic name is composed of the Latinized Greek word, para, meaning near to, and the grape-associated gall midge genus name Ampelomyia .
