The
holotype
is deposited in the collection of the Czech University of Life Sciences,
Czech Republic
,
Prague
(CULSP). The specimen is glued on a card point and therefore only the left side of head without proboscis and thorax could be examined. Otherwise the specimen is in good condition. The posterior part of abdomen is dissected, macerated and stored in a glycerine microvial pinned underneath the specimen.
Description of
holotype
(male). Length about
1.9 mm
. Wing length
1.4 mm
. Head height
0.4 mm
.
FIGURES 19–23.

21
. Lateral view of surstylus.
22
. Posterior view of surstylus.
23
. Ventral view of sternite 3 (left)—sternite 5 (right).
Head black with anterior half of frons yellow brown. Antenna black to dark brown. Arista without pubescence. Maximum eye length: maximum eye height = 0.9. Posteroventral margin of gena closest to eye margin: maximum eye height = 0.5. Frons slightly microtomentose to subshining, frontal triangle shining. Frontal triangle distinct, reaching about 1/2 distance from anterior ocellus to frontal margin. Face and proboscis cannot be examined due to preparation of the specimen. Postcranium slightly microtomentose. 1 distinct ocellar seta; supralunular setae convergent; 4 fronto-orbital setae (2 anterior mesoclinate, 2 posterior lateroclinate); 2 vertical setae; 2 mesoclinate postorbital setae; postocellar setae slightly divergent; 1 strong vibrissal seta; 2 supravibrissal setae, the ventral one indistinct and much smaller; 2 strong genal setae.
Scutum shining to subshining, anterior 2/3 covered with black setulae. Scutellum microtomentose. Pleurae —as far as can be seen in the type—shining. Scutum with only 1 long posterior, 1 intermediate medial, and 1 smaller anterior dorsocentral seta. 1 postpronotal seta; 1 praesutural seta; 1 anterior and 2 posterior notopleural setae; 1 long and 1 inconspicuous short supraalar seta; 2 postalar setae; 1 praescutellar seta; 1 apical and 1 lateral scutellar seta. 1 seta at posterior margin of anepisternum. 1 dorsal seta and 1 ventral seta on katepisternum. Costa with no obvious setae beyond radial vein R
1
. Wing hyaline, costa light brown, other veins white to light yellow. R
4+5
slightly curved to apex of wing. Knob of haltere whitish yellow, base of haltere brown. Legs black to brown. Fore femur apically with 3 and basally with 2 strong posteroventral setae. Hind femur apically with 1 strong anteroventral seta. Hind metatarsus ventrally with dense yellow golden setae. Length metatarsus 2: length tibia 2 = 0.6.
Tergites with no obvious depressions or tufts of setulae. Abdominal pleura with scattered setae on abdominal segments 4–5. Abdominal segments 1–5 narrow, width of tergite 3: length of tergite 3 = 2.5. Tergites 2–4 each with 1 short lateral seta at the posterior margin, and with 2–4 indistinct setae at the posterior margin. Sternite 5 almost rectangular, about as long as broad (
Fig. 23
). Sternite 5 with 2 lateral setae, the posterior obvious long (
Fig. 23
). Midventral tergite 7 not recognized. Protandrium small, slightly shorter than epandrium and about 0.5 of length of tergite 5. Epandrium with few setae (
Fig. 19
). Maximum length dorsally in the middle of epandrium: maximum width of epandrium = 0.5. Cerci indistinct, not projecting, and with a few setulae only. Subepandrial plate hardly sclerotised with the exception of a x-shaped brown structure. Subepandrial plate with scattered, hardly visible fine setulae. Obvious proceeding of hypoproct with 4 large setae on the laterally projecting part and several fine setulae basally. No tooth on subepandrial plate. Surstylus as
Figs. 19, 21–22
: with a slightly broadened base, falcated, and with a broad apical tip. Surstylus with short, strong setae apically, and long setae ventrally. No lamella. Postgonite as in
Fig. 20
: distinctly sclerotised, with a small base, elongated, pointed, apically bent like a hook. Distiphallus —as far as can be seen in the type—short and with dense brown setulae.
Diagnosis.
Meoneura mucki
belongs to the
Meoneura obscurella
-group that is characterised by a distinct process of hypoproct that has long distinct setae (
Fig. 19
). From all other species of this group
M. mucki
is easily distinguished by the unique falcated surstylus with a densely haired tip (
Figs. 19, 21
). Process of hypoproct has 4 large setae (
Fig. 19
). Mesoscutum and pleurae are shiny and contrasting with the microtomentose scutellum. If characters of setation turn out to be constant 3 notopleural setae, 2 postalar setae and 2 mesoclinate postorbital setae are remarkable characters. A key of the
Meoneura obscurella
-group is published by
Stuke & Freidberg (2017)
.
M. mucki
will run to the last couplet 11 together with
Meoneura prima
(
Becker, 1903
)
and
Meoneura goldemari
Stuke & Freidberg, 2017
but will not be assigned to one of these species due to the very different shape of the surstylus.
Etymology.
The „Kleine Muck“ is a participant of Wilhelm Hauf´s fairy tale „Die Karavane“. The Kleine Muck is a small misshapen figure and outsider as
Carnidae
are small inconspicious
Diptera
in which hardly anybody is interested in.
Distribution.
Meoneura mucki
is hitherto only known from the locus typicus Aman-Kutan (near Samarkand,
Uzbekistan
).
