Boutin, 9–14.xi. 2000 [1 female] coll. M. Irwin and J. Boutin; deposited INHS, USNM, LACM and NZAC. ETYMOLOGY. This species is named in honor of Dr. Donald W. Webb who was instrumental in collecting the type series and making the specimens available for study. BIONOMICS. Unknown. DISTRIBUTION. Collected from one location in New Caledonia. COMMENTS. Many more specimens of Sycorax webbi were collected than other species of Sycorax examined during this study. It is unclear whether this species is more common than others, or simply more frequently collected in Malaise traps. As with some other species, S. webbi was collected in a location with no stream nearby. S. webbi is similar to S. tridentata, but is easily differentiated by comparison of the dorsomedial process of the parameres, and the number of lateral teeth on the aedeagus. The former species has a digitiform dorsomedial process without a bulbous apex, and only two lateral dentes on the branches of the aedeagus. Females of S. webbi are unique in having globular spermathecal ducts and a darkly pigmented, inverted Y-shaped genital fork. Ascoids are present only on some flagellomeres in the male and female. It is clear that ascoids are absent from the remaining flagellomeres and have not simply been broken or removed.Published as part of Curler, Gregory R. & Jacobson, Amanda J., 2012, New species of Psychodidae (Diptera) from Australasia, with a checklist of the world species of Bruchomyiinae and Sycoracinae, pp. 43-65 in Zootaxa 3552 on pages 58-59, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.28285

TYPE MATERIAL. Holotype [male]: New Caledonia. SUD PROVINCE: 17 km NNE Noumeá, Mt. Koghis, 22 ° 10 ’ 33 ”S 166 ° 30 ’ 17 ”E, 550m, 13–24.xi. 2000, coll. E. Schlinger and J. Boutin, Malaise trap; deposited MNHN. Specimen dissected, mounted on micro-slide. Paratypes [2 females]: same location as holotype, 1–5.xii. 2000, coll. M. Irwin; deposited LACM. ETYMOLOGY. The species epithet tridentata is Latin, meaning “three teeth”, in reference to the three toothlike projections on the distal branches of the aedeagus. BIONOMICS. Unknown. DISTRIBUTION. Collected from one location in New Caledonia. COMMENTS. Sycorax tridentata was collected from a location that is approximately ½ mile away from the nearest stream. This species is described based on a single male specimen and two tenuously associated female specimens. The practice of describing a species based on an examination of only a single male specimen is generally not satisfactory. However, it is highly unlikely that additional material of S. tridentata will be collected in the foreseeable future, and there is no question that it is a distinct species. It is similar to S. webbi, but differs in the shape of the dorsomedial process of the parameres and the shape of the aedeagus. S. tridentata has a dorsomedial process with a bulbous apex while S. webbi has no bulbous apex. The presumed females of S. tridentata are similar to females of S. spina in the shape and pigmentation of the genital fork, but differ in having spermathecal ducts that are nearly globular as opposed to ovoid. Furthermore, females of S. tridentata are also similar to those of S. webbi in the globular shape of the spermathecal ducts but can be differentiated by comparison of the genital fork, which is darkly pigmented and inverted Y-shaped in S. webbi.Published as part of Curler, Gregory R. & Jacobson, Amanda J., 2012, New species of Psychodidae (Diptera) from Australasia, with a checklist of the world species of Bruchomyiinae and Sycoracinae, pp. 43-65 in Zootaxa 3552 on pages 56-58, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.28285

SUD PROVINCE: Réserve Col d’Amieu, 7.5 km NW Sarramea, 21 ° 35 ’ 6 ”S 165 ° 49 ’ 8 ”E, 303m, 13–30.xi. 2000 [1 female] coll. E. Schlinger and M. Irwin, Malaise trap. ETYMOLOGY. The species epithet spina from Latin is in reference to the spiniform posterior processes of the parameres. BIONOMICS. Unknown. DISTRIBUTION. Collected from two locations in New Caledonia. COMMENTS. Males of Sycorax spina is similar to those of S. sinuosa, but can easily be separated by comparison of the dorsomedial process of the parameres. S. spina has a spatulate process that extends beyond the aedeagus while S. sinuosa has a very short process. Females of S. spina have a bell-shaped sternum 10 and ovoid spermathecal ducts that are not annulated. This combination of character states is unique among female Sycorax currently known from New Claedonia. Ascoids are present only on some flagellomeres in the male and female. It is clear that ascoids are absent from the remaining flagellomeres and have not simply been broken or removed. As in some other species, ascoids are present on flagellomeres 1–3 in the male and 1–8 in the female. S. spina was collected from a location with no streams nearby, as well as a location with a stream in the vicinity. However, the majority of specimens were collected from the former locality, and it is unlikely that the presence of the stream influenced the presence or absence of this Sycorax species.Published as part of Curler, Gregory R. & Jacobson, Amanda J., 2012, New species of Psychodidae (Diptera) from Australasia, with a checklist of the world species of Bruchomyiinae and Sycoracinae, pp. 43-65 in Zootaxa 3552 on pages 54-56, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.28285
