Discussion Sciara speciosissima Strobl, 1898 is known only from one male in very poor condition and four females. They belong to Lycoriella (Hemineurina) sensu Menzel & Mohrig (2000) and to the genus Hemineurina Frey (former L. inflata group) in the present sense, but we cannot completely clarify their species status without an examination of male genitalia (Menzel 1992a, Menzel & Mohrig 2000).Published as part of Vilkamaa, Pekka & Menzel, Frank, 2019, Re-classification of Lycoriella Frey sensu lato (Diptera, Sciaridae), with description of Trichocoelina gen. n. and twenty new species, pp. 1-67 in Zootaxa 4665 (1) on page 11, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4665.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/400055

The only existing male of Sciara globiceps Becher (lectotype) is in poor condition. Because of the strongly deformed male genitalia Menzel & Mohrig (2000) did not realize that the lectotype of Sciara globiceps Becher is not identical with Hemineurina algida (Frey) [misidentification] but in reality represents Hemineurina modesta (Staeger), which has a longer and therefore a more slender-looking gonostylus. Consequently, some records of H. algida were erroneously published by Menzel & Mohrig (2000) under the name ‘ L. globiceps (Becher) ’ [see literature under H. algida (Frey)]. These errors are corrected here, by treating Sciara globiceps Becher, 1886 syn n. as a junior synonym of Hemineurina modesta (Staeger, 1840) comb. n. and H. algida (Frey, 1948) restit. et comb. n. as a separate species. The distinct differences between H. algida and the similar H. thuringiensis are discussed under H. algida (Frey).Published as part of Vilkamaa, Pekka & Menzel, Frank, 2019, Re-classification of Lycoriella Frey sensu lato (Diptera, Sciaridae), with description of Trichocoelina gen. n. and twenty new species, pp. 1-67 in Zootaxa 4665 (1) on page 10, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4665.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/400055
Bradysiopsis dearmata Vilkamaa & Menzel 2019, comb. n.
No full textBradysiopsis dearmata (Mohrig & Krivosheina, 1987) comb. n. Literature. Lycoriella (Hemineurina) dearmata Mohrig & Krivosheina—Mohrig et al. (1987): 94, fig. 4 a–d; Menzel et al. (1990): 335; Menzel & Mohrig (1991): 40; Menzel & Mohrig (2000): 382, 385; Komarov (2009): 100, 103. Discussion. Lycoriella (Hemineurina) dearmata Mohrig & Krivosheina, 1987 is known only from a few specimens from Russia, Tuva and Altai Republics and Germany, Schleswig-Holstein (Heller 2004) and Thuringia, Saxonia (unpublished). The species was placed in the L. vitticollis group by Menzel & Mohrig (2000) but is exceptional in having a narrow gonostylus, medially not impressed, with a group of subapical megasetae and 2–3 medial elongated setae, and in having a peculiar intergonocoxal lobe of the hypopygium with unusually strong setae. Mohrig et al. (1987: 94) and Menzel & Mohrig (2000: 382) showed that the placement of L. dearmata in the L. vitticollis group of Lycoriella (Hemineurina) was somewhat problematic. The sensillar patch of the 1 st palpal segment is distinctly bordered (not deepened and pit-like), the wing vein R 5 are apically both dorsally and ventrally setose, the scutellum has 4 long and strong setae, the fore tibia has weak spinose setae [1–3 setae in the basic vestiture], the legs are long and thick, the fore tibial organ has fine and dense setosity and bow-like borders, and the tarsal claws are untoothed. It is striking that that the setosity of mesonotum and abdomen is, unlike the species of Lycoriella, Hemineurina und Trichocoelina, dark brown and much longer and dense. Furthermore, the species has a slender, not impressed gonostylus (without medial margin), 2 or 3 elongated and nearly straight setae on its apical half (not homologous with the apically curved whiplash seta of Lycoriella s. l.) and a slender apical tooth and 2 to 3 strong and nearly straight subapical megasetae. These characters support the view that L. dearmata is closer to the species of Bradysiopsis than to the here proposed genera Hemineurina and Trichocoelina (compare here with, for example, Bradysiopsis vittigera (Zetterstedt, 1851) in Menzel & Mohrig (2000: 189, fig. 159) and Bradysiopsis sordida (Mohrig, 1999) comb. n. (see below). The two, very closely placed intergonocoxal lobes of L. dearmata are in no case homologous with with the intergonocoxal lobes of Lycoriella s. str., Hemineurina or Trichocoelina, because at the base they are united with the intergonocoxal area by a strongly sclerotized bridge. Based on the above characters, Lycoriella (Hemineurina) dearmata Mohrig & Krivosheina is transferred to Bradysiopsis Tuomikoski.Published as part of Vilkamaa, Pekka & Menzel, Frank, 2019, Re-classification of Lycoriella Frey sensu lato (Diptera, Sciaridae), with description of Trichocoelina gen. n. and twenty new species, pp. 1-67 in Zootaxa 4665 (1) on page 7, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4665.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/400055
Merizomma codonopsivora Vilkamaa & Menzel 2019
No full textMerizomma codonopsivora (Sasakawa, 1997) stat. et comb. n. Literature. Lycoriella (Chorizomma) codonopsivora Sasakawa—Sasakawa (1997): 171, figs 1–3. Lycoriella (Merizomma) codonopsivora Sasakawa—Sasakawa (2003): 119, 128. Lycoriella codonopsivora Sasakawa—Sasakawa (2008): 128; Eiseman et al. (2016): 527. Discussion. Sasakawa (1997: 171) described the distinctive Lycoriella codonopsivora Sasakawa, 1997 from Hokkaido (Japan) whose larvae feed on deodeok leaves (Codonopsis lanceolata, Campanulaceae). For this species, he erected the monotypic subgenus Chorizomma of Lycoriella (Sasakawa 1997: 174 [preocc., not Chorizomma Simon, 1872; Araneae, Dictynidae] and renamed the subgenus later as Merizomma (Sasakawa 2003: 119, 128). The subgenus and the type species are not included in the monograph of the Palaearctic Sciaridae (Menzel & Mohrig 2000). Therefore, these taxa are discussed here in detail on the basis of the original descriptions by Sasakawa (1997) and included in the identification key and in the checklist. Lycoriella codonopsivora Sasakawa, 1997 has characters which are not present in this combination in any other genus and which distinctly differ from those given to Lycoriella s. l. by Menzel & Mohrig (2000: 377): Eye bridge not united at middle, without ommatidia; maxillary palpus 2-segmented, without pit of sensilla on 1 st segment; scutellum without long lateral setae, only with two unregular rows of short setae; R 1 longer than R, ending beyond the base of M-fork; fore tibia with small, bow-like bordered tibial organ; tarsal claws untoothed; hypopygium with wide gonocoxa; gonocoxae united in v-form and with short setae, intergonocoxal area not modified, gonostylus elongate-triangular and with apical megaseta, without apical tooth; medial side of gonostylus without megasetae and at apical half strongly impressed; basal part [at 1/5 of the medial side of gonostylus] with long, upcurved seta on long basal body; tegmen roundish, without apical or lateral modifications. On the basis of the above characters, L. codonopsivora Sasakawa must be excluded from the Lycoriella group. With its short gonocoxa, lacking intergonocoxal lobe and apical megaseta, the species resembles some species of the K. nepalensis group of Keilbachia Mohrig, 1987 [compare here Menzel & Martens (1995: 107), Menzel & Mohrig (2000: 348), Vilkamaa et al. (2006: 40) and Vilkamaa et al. (2009: 3)]. However, a strongly reduced eye bridge, a 2-segmented palpus, an unbordered patch of sensilla on 1 st segment of palpus, a long R 1 and the lack of a spiral-formed megaseta on the medial side of gonostylus differ from the characters of Keilbachia. These characters are typical for the M. hippai group of the genus Mohrigia Menzel, 1995. Speaking against the combination of L. codonopsivora Sasakawa with Mohrigia are the Keilbachia -like form of the gonostylus, the missing long medial setae on the apical half of the gonostylus, the missing intergonocoxal lobe of hypopygium and the much smaller, weakly setose fore tibial organ [compare here Menzel & Martens (1995: 102), Menzel & Mohrig (2000: 415) and Rudzinski (2006: 450)]. Furthermore, neither Keilbachia nor Mohrigia have the lateral setae of scutellum reduced [both have two long and strong setae] nor an unmodified tegmen [the tegmen of Mohrigia has a straight, strongly sclerotized dorsomedial structure; the tegmen of Keilbachia is sclerotized laterally and often with a narrow apical process]. On the above grounds, Merizomma Sasakawa, 2003 stat. n. with the type species Merizomma codonopsivora (Sasakawa, 1997) comb. n. is raised to generic rank and excluded from the Lycoriella group sensu Menzel & Mohrig (2000).Published as part of Vilkamaa, Pekka & Menzel, Frank, 2019, Re-classification of Lycoriella Frey sensu lato (Diptera, Sciaridae), with description of Trichocoelina gen. n. and twenty new species, pp. 1-67 in Zootaxa 4665 (1) on page 8, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4665.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/400055

No full textBradysiopsis sordida (Mohrig, 1999) comb. n. Literature. Lycoriella (Hemineurina) sordida Mohrig—Mohrig et al. (1999): 196, fig. 10 a–f. Discussion. Both Br. sordida (Mohrig) comb. n. and Br. dearmata (Mohrig & Krivosheina) comb. n. (see above) are placed in the genus Bradysiopsis, in the here newly established Br. dearmata group. Both species have, unlike the Br. vittata group and Br. disjuncta group, a distinctly bordered patch of sensilla on the first palpal segment, conically narrowed and apically roundish tegmen, elongate-ovale gonostylus with the apex which is curved to the medial side and—like in Pseudolycoriella —densely setose, and which reaches apicad from the apical tooth. With their long three-segmented palpus, four strong setae on scutellum, untoothed tarsal claws, partly bow-like bordered and densely setose tibial organ, the lack of a whiplash seta on the gonostylus, the 2–3 long setae on the medial side of the gonostylus and a slender apical tooth in combination with three subapical megasetae, both species possess typical Bradysiopsis characters [compare with the genus diagnosis in Menzel & Mohrig (2000: 185)].Published as part of Vilkamaa, Pekka & Menzel, Frank, 2019, Re-classification of Lycoriella Frey sensu lato (Diptera, Sciaridae), with description of Trichocoelina gen. n. and twenty new species, pp. 1-67 in Zootaxa 4665 (1) on page 7, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4665.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/400055
