Meoneura mucki Stuke & Barták 2019, spec. nov.
No full textMeoneura mucki spec. nov. (Figs. 19–23) Holotype ♂: (1) „ SU: Amankutan / pasture / 39.19N / 66.55E 1300 m / Barták, 23.v.1989 “; (2) „ Holotypus / Meoneura mucki / spec. nov. ♂ / det. Stuke 2018“. 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. 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).

Meoneura artoodetoo Stuke & Barták 2019, spec. nov.
No full textMeoneura artoodetoo spec. nov. (Figs. 2–6) Holotype ♂: (1) „ SU: Chimgan / alpine meadow / 41.38N / 70.06E 1800 m / Barták, 18.v.1989 “; (2) „ Holotypus / Meoneura / artoodetoo / spec. nov. ♂ / det. Stuke 2018“. 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. The right wing is missing and the left wing is incomplete. 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 1.8 mm. Wing length about 1.6 mm. Head height 0.4 mm. Head black with anterior half of frons black brown. Antenna black to dark brown. Arista without pubescence. Maximum eye length: maximum eye height = 1.0. Posteroventral margin of gena closest to eye margin: maximum eye height = 0.5. Frons microtomentose, frontal triangle shining. Frontal triangle indistinct and short, hardly reaching further than anterior ocellus. Face microtomentose. Carina narrow. Postcranium microtomentose. Prementum longer and wider than labellum. Palpus brown, about 1/4 as long as the haustellum. 1 distinct ocellar seta; supralunular setae only slightly convergent; 4 fronto-orbital setae (2 anterior mesoclinate, 2 posterior lateroclinate); 2 vertical setae; 2 mesoclinate postorbital setae; postocellar setae parallel; 1 strong vibrissal seta; 2 supravibrissal setae, the ventral one much smaller; 4 genal setae, the anterior one strongest. Scutum shining to subshining, anterior 2/3 covered with black setulae. Scutellum microtomentose. Pleurae shining to slightly microtomentose. Scutum with only 1 long posterior and 2 smaller anterior dorsocentral setae. 2 postpronotal setae; 1 praesutural seta; 2 notopleural setae; 1 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, veins white to light yellow. Knob of haltere whitish yellow, base of haltere brown. Legs black to brown. Fore femur apically with 2 and basally with 1 strong posteroventral setae. Hind femur apically with 1 strong anteroventral seta. All coxae with single black setae. 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 segment 5 only. Abdominal segments 1–5 narrow, width of tergite 3: length of tergite 3 = 2.6. Tergites 2–5 each with 1 distinct lateral seta at the posterior margin, and with 4 indistinct setae at the posterior margin. Sternite 5 almost rectangular, slightly longer than broad, with 2 anterior setae and few additional setulae (Fig. 5). Midventral tergite 7 not recognized. Protandrium very small, shorter than epandrium and about 0.3 of length of tergite 5. Epandrium with two strong lateral setae and several smaller setae (Fig. 2, 6). Maximum length dorsally in the middle of epandrium: maximum width of epandrium = 0.4. Cerci indistinct, not projecting, and with a few setulae only. Subepandrial plate distinctly sclerotised with a pair of strongly sclerotized dark brown bars. Subepandrial plate with scattered, hardly visible fine setulae. Obvious proceeding of hypoproct with 10–11 large and obvious flat setae on the projecting part. No tooth on subepandrial plate. Surstylus as in Fig. 3: with an obviously broadened base due to a ventral expansion, concave dorsally, and a slightly rounded tip. Surstylus with several inconspicuous setae apically and 1 inconspicuous but longer medially directed setae at the tip. The ventral expansion at base of surstylus is lamella-like and has several distinct setae. Postgonite as in Fig. 4: distinctly sclerotised, with a broad base, slightly elongated, pointed, apically bent like a hook. Distiphallus slightly longer than epandrium and surstylus, covered with setulae that form dorsobasally a field of dense setulae (Fig. 6). Basiphallus not recognized. Diagnosis. Meoneura artoodetoo belongs to the Meoneura obscurella -group that is characterised by a distinct process of hypoproct that has long distinct setae (Fig. 2). From all species of this group—with the exception of M. merzi Ozerov & Krivosheina, 2013 — M. artoodetoo is easily distinguished by the shape and setation of the surstylus as shown in Fig. 3. Especially the characteristic base of surstylus largely expanded ventrally to a lamellalike structure that bears several setulae (Fig. 3: ves) distinguishes this species easily. Meoneura artoodetoo will run in the key of the Meoneura obscurella -group of Stuke & Freidberg (2017) to couplet 4 where Meoneura paraseducta Papp, 1976 is identified. However M. artoodetoo has a completely black brown frons and no long seta on sternite 5 nor fits the shape of the surstylus. Later M. artoodetoo will run to couplet 9 where a decision to one of the keys alternatives is not possible anymore. M. merzi has been overlooked by Stuke & Freidberg (2017) and is very similar to M. artoodetoo. Compared with the original description of M. merzi, M. artoodetoo is distinguished by these characters: (i) postocellar setae parallel ("slightly diverging" in M. merzi); (ii) process of hypoproct with 10–11 obvious flattened setae distally (more setae that are not obvious flattened and that are not restricted to distal part of process of hypoproct in M. merzi), (iii) base of surstylus dorsally expanded and therefore dorsal margin of surstylus concave (base of surstylus less broad and therefore dorsal margin of surstylus almost straight in M. merzi); (iv) dull angle between surstylus and ventral expansion of surstylus (right angle between surstylus and ventral expansion of surstylus in M. merzi); (v) ventral expansion almost square (ventral expansion oblong in M. merzi); (vi) epandrium with two strong lateral setae (epandrium without strong setae in M. merzi). Etymology. This species is dedicated—as noun in apposition—to the fictional robot R2-D2 from George Lucas Star Wars movies. R2-D2 is a small and inconspicuous robot but saved the world. Distribution. Meoneura artoodetoo is hitherto only known from the locus typicus Chimgan (Uzbekistan).

While the two Nearctic species have completely different structures at the postabdomen (cf. Sabrosky 1959) the European <i>M. elongella</i> is only known from female specimens. The most obvious character to distinguish the holotype of <i>M. joedaltoni</i> and a female of <i>M. elongella</i> from Norway is the more yellow coloured head (face, gena at eye margin and about half of the frons) of <i>M. joedaltoni</i>. This character is important in other <i>Meoneura</i> species, for example to distinguish the closely related species of the <i>M. flavifacies</i> -group. It is described in Zetterstedt´s description of <i>M. elongella</i>. Another obvious character is the higher face between antennal groove and upper mouth opening (higher than fore tibia diameter) in <i>M. joedaltoni</i>.</p> <p> In regard to the postabdomen, <i>Meoneura joedaltoni</i> belongs to the <i>Meoneura palaestinensis</i> -group sensu Stuke & Freidberg (2017) that is characterised by a broad and anteriorly rounded surstylus and the lack of an adjected lamella (Fig. 16). <i>M. joedaltoni</i> is easily identified by this unique combination of characters: (1) face and anterior half of frons orange yellow; (2) carina about as broad as fore tibia; (3) scutum and scutellum distinctly microtomentose; (4) 1 dorsocentral only; (5) haltere completely brown; (6) epandrium with 1 outstanding and 3 distinct setae (Fig. 15); (7) cercus indistinct and without recognized setae; (8) surstylus as in Fig. 16: large, almost as long as epandrium, parallel sided, not narrowing basally, apically rounded, not tapering and not hyaline apically; (9) hypoproct without any proceeding; (10) sternite 5 slightly wider than long, hind margin slightly concave (Fig. 18). A key of the <i>Meoneura palaestinensis</i> -group was published by Stuke & Freidberg (2017). <i>M. joedaltoni</i> will run to the last couplet 4 together with <i>M grimmorum</i> Stuke & Freidberg, 2017 and <i>M. palaestinensis</i> Hennig, 1937, but will not be assigned to one of these species due to the very different shape of the surstylus and the combination of characters mentioned above.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The species is named after Joe Dalton, the smallest of the four Dalton brothers, who appear in the Lucky Luke comic book series of Maurice de Bevere (Morris) and René Goscinny. Joe is the smallest of the four Dalton brothers as <i>Meoneura joedaltoni</i> is one of the smallest Acalyptratae.</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> <i>Meoneura joedaltoni</i> has been caught only at the locus typicus, a pine wood 5 km south of Amatrice (Latium, Italy). The coordinates of the label don´t fit exactly to this description but are about 4 km ssw of Amatrice.</p> <p> <b> <i>Meoneura lacteipennis</i> (FALLÉN, 1823)</b> </p> <p> <b>Material:</b> CZECH REPUBLIC: 1♂, 22.v.1995, Vráž u Písku, near pond [49.23°N 14.08°E], 400 m, leg.
