HOLOTYPE: ♂ (RMNH), PORTUGAL: GUARDA DISTRICT (formerly Beira Alta Province): Serra da Estrela, 3 km S Manteigas, 1000 m, deciduous forest, 9.v.1994 (P. Oosterbroek &amp; C. Hartveld leg.), labelled ‘PORTUGAL Beira Alta / Serra da Estrêla / P.Oosterbroek / &amp; C.Hartveld’ // ‘ 3 km Z MANTEIGAS / decid. forest 1000 m / 9 V 1994 ST.31’ [both printed, white labels] // ‘HOLOTYPE / Limonia / hartveldae sp. n. ♂ / J. Starý 2017’ [printed, red label]. The specimen is micro-pinned on a stage of polyporus, all legs attached but of hind left leg only femur is present; apex of abdomen cut off, terminalia dissected and placed in a sealed plastic tube with glycerine, pinned with the specimen.</p><p>PARATYPES: 2 ♂♂, same data as for holotype (RMNH, JSOC). Both specimens micro-pinned.</p><p>Diagnosis. Medium-sized species. Body colouration in general dark brown, with paler areas, especially on pleuron. Wing membrane slightly tinged with brownish grey. Wing pattern diffuse but distinct. Male terminalia with aedeagus of moderate length and breadth and paramere moderately emarginated at posterior margin, with its inner process subacute at tip. Body length 7.8–8.5 mm, wing length 8.1–9.8 mm.</p><p>Description. Male. Head dark brown to black, suffused with grey pruinosity on frons and vertex, somewhat shiny on rostrum. Palpus dark brown. Antenna 14-segmented, moderately long, reaching to about base of wing, dark brown. Flagellomeres elongate, subcylindrical. Longest verticils very long, about five times as long as their respective flagellomeres.</p><p>Thorax generally dark brown. Pronotum dark brown throughout. Prescutum and scutum with dark brown median area demarcated with prescutal setae, and with dark brown patch laterally; interspaces slightly paler. Scutal lobes dark brown, with yellowish brown area in between. Scutellum yellowish brown anteromedially, otherwise dark brown. Mediotergite yellowish brown anterolaterally, rest dark brown. Pleuron generally dark brown, with paler areas on anepimeron, laterotergite, and around base of wing and halter. Wing moderately broad, with width-length ratio about 1: 3.5. Wing membrane slightly tinged with brownish grey. Wing pattern consisting of three darker spots at anterior margin, more or less diffuse but distinct, at origin of Rs, at tip of Sc 1, and over R 2 (= cross-vein r) (pterostigma). Diffuse, darker seams along veins, especially Cu and so-called outer cord (series of subvertical vein elements, including base of discal cell, at about two thirds length of wing). Venation usual for Limonia, with discal cell moderately long; M 3+4 (lower margin of discal cell) and M 4 subequal in length. Halter with pale stem, slightly darker on knob. Legs generally yellow, with coxae, especially fore ones, darker, brown; femora fading from yellow to yellowish brown distally, with pale subapical and dark apical rings; tarsi dark brown, with tarsomeres 1 slightly longer than rest of tarsi.</p><p>Abdomen generally dark brown, with anterior margins of tergites narrowly yellowed; tergites 1 and 8 often dark brown throughout; ventral side paler, with yellow areas on sternites larger. Male terminalia (Figs 1–2) dark brown. Tergite 9 essentially semicircular in outline. Its posterior margin broadly rounded, formed by chitinized bar, with shallow, rather V-shaped median notch. Gonocoxite usual in length and breadth. Gonostylus conical, rather long, evenly arched and tapered to subacute tip, not markedly swollen in proximal half. Aedeagus of moderate length and breadth, moderately enlarged in proximal half, with another slight enlargement before apex. Paramere moderately emarginated at posterior margin, with its inner process rather broad at base, subacute at tip.</p><p>Female unknown.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. According to SAVCHENKO (1985), the new species belongs to the L. flavipes species group and seems to be most similar to European species, such as Limonia sylvicola (Schummel, 1829) and L. taurica (Strobl, 1895) . Its body colouration and wing pattern are, however, distinctly darker. The male terminalia have the gonostylus rather long and slender and the inner process of the paramere subacute at the tip, whereas, in both L. sylvicola and L. taurica, the gonostylus is shorter and broader and the inner process of the paramere rounded at the tip.</p><p>Etymology. The new species is named in honour of one of its collectors, Cita Hartveld (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) who, together with Pjotr Oosterbroek, has made extensive collections in the Mediterranean. A noun in genitive singular.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/807D8554FFD8FFEFA0D8BEB8D927F9A7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

All specimens pinned or micro-pinned on a stage of polyporus; terminalia, if dissected, placed as for holotype.</p><p>Diagnosis. Medium-sized species. Body colouration in general brown, restrictedly dark brown on dorsum of thorax and obscure yellow on pleuron. Wing membrane tinged brownish. Wing pattern diffuse, indistinct. Male terminalia with aedeagus of moderate length and breadth and paramere narrowly emarginated at posterior margin, with its inner process short, slender, rounded at tip. Body length 8.3–9.8 mm, wing length 8.2–10.6 mm.</p><p>Description. Male. Head dark brown to almost black, suffused with grey pruinosity on frons and vertex, somewhat shiny on rostrum. Palpus black. Antenna 14-segmented, short, not reaching to base of wing. Scape black, pedicel and flagellomeres paler, brown to yellowish brown. Flagellomeres elongate, subcylindrical. Longest verticils very long, about five times as long as their respective flagellomeres.</p><p>Thorax generally obscure yellow to yellowish brown. Pronotum brown dorsally, yellowed laterally. Prescutum and scutum with broad, dark brown, median area demarcated with prescutal setae, darker anteriorly, slightly paler posteriorly, sides of prescutum yellowish brown. Scutal lobes similarly dark as median prescutal area, obscure yellow in between. Scutellum pale yellow anteriorly, darker posteriorly. Mediotergite generally yellowish brown, paler anterolaterally. Pleuron essentially obscure yellow, darker on katepisternum. Wing moderately broad, with width-length ratio about 1: 3.5. Wing membrane conspicuously tinged brownish. Wing pattern consisting of three darker spots at anterior margin, diffuse and little-distinct, at origin of Rs, at tip of Sc 1, and over R 2, added with slightly indicated, diffuse, darker seams especially along Cu and so-called outer cord. Venation usual for Limonia, with discal cell moderately long; M 3+4 and M 4 subequal in length. Halter with pale stem and darker knob. Legs generally yellow, including coxae and trochanters, tips of femora slightly darkened, distal tarsomeres dark brown; tarsomeres 1 slightly longer than rest of tarsi.</p><p>Abdomen brown dorsally, paler ventrally. Male terminalia (Figs 3–4) yellowish brown. Tergite 9 essentially semicircular in outline. Its posterior margin broadly rounded, formed by chitinized bar, with distinct U-shaped median notch. Gonocoxite usual in length and breadth. Gonostylus darkened distally, conical, moderate in length, evenly moderately arched and tapered to narrowly rounded tip, only slightly swollen in proximal half. Aedeagus of moderate length and breadth, considerably broad in proximal half, with another, narrower enlargement before apex. Paramere narrowly emarginated at posterior margin, with its inner process short, generally slender, rounded at tip.</p><p>Female resembling male in general appearance. Female terminalia with cercus slightly upturned, subacute at tip, subequal in length to tergite 10. Hypogynial valve straight, reaching beyond middle of cercus.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. This new species, probably a member of the L. phragmitidis (= L. tripunctata) species group (cf. SAVCHENKO 1985), is distinctive by having its wing membrane conspicuously tinged brownish. A significant feature of the male terminalia is the shape of the paramere which is narrowly emarginated at its posterior margin, with its inner process slender, and rounded at the tip. A similar condition, with other features quite different, is known in L. sylvicola and L. eos Starý &amp; Savchenko, 1976 .</p><p>Etymology. The name of this new species, opacipennis, a combination of opacus (= dark) and penna (= wing), refers to its brownish wing membrane.

The specimen is micro-pinned on a stage of polyporus, with right fore, right mid and left hind leg missing; apex of abdomen cut off, terminalia dissected and placed in a sealed plastic tube with glycerine, pinned with the specimen.</p><p>Diagnosis. Medium-sized species. Body colouration pale yellow, with dark brown prescutal stripe. Wing membrane hyaline. Wing pattern with anterior spots small but sharply indicated. Male terminalia with aedeagus of moderate length and breadth and paramere moderately emarginated at posterior margin, with its inner process narrowly rounded at tip. Body length 7.2 mm, wing length 8.5 mm.</p><p>Description. Male. Head generally yellow, suffused with pale greyish pruinosity on frons and vertex, shiny on rostrum. Palpus yellow, last palpomere darkened. Antenna 14-segmented, short, not reaching to base of wing. Scape, pedicel, and flagellomeres 1–2 yellow, flagellomere 3 and following segments slightly darkened, with still darker bases. Flagellomeres moderately elongate, subcylindrical. Longest verticils short, subequal in length to their respective flagellomeres.</p><p>Thorax generally pale yellow. Pronotum pale yellow, slightly darkened medially. Prescutum and scutum with dark brown stripe medially, otherwise pale yellow, as other dorsal parts of thorax. Pleuron pale yellow throughout. Wing rather narrow, with width-length ratio about 1: 4.

Male terminalia (Figs 5–6) yellow. Tergite 9 essentially semicircular in outline. Its posterior margin broadly rounded, formed by chitinized bar with distinct U-shaped median notch between short lobes. Gonocoxite comparatively short. Gonostylus conical, rather short, evenly arched and tapered to narrowly rounded tip, slightly swollen in proximal half. Aedeagus of moderate length and breadth, bulbous in proximal third, then parallel-sided, narrowed before apex. Paramere moderately emarginated at posterior margin, with its inner process rather broad at base, narrowly rounded at tip.</p><p>Female unknown.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. According to SAVCHENKO (1985), the new species clearly belongs to the L. phragmitidis species group and resembles L. stigma (Meigen, 1818) in general appearance. Its body colouration is, however, still paler, antenna paler, with shorter verticils, and the prescutal stripe is less distinct. The three spots at the anterior wing margin, although small in extent, are more intensive and more sharply indicated. The aedeagus of the male terminalia is bulbous only in the proximal third and the inner process of the paramere is narrowly rounded at the tip, whereas, in L. stigma, the aedeagus is considerably broad in the proximal half and the inner process of the paramere is broadly rounded at the tip.</p><p>Etymology.

The specimen is pinned, with right antenna and both mid legs missing; apex of abdomen cut off, terminalia dissected and placed in a sealed plastic tube with glycerine, pinned with the specimen.</p><p>Diagnosis. Very large species. Body colouration in general yellowish brown, restrictedly darker on dorsum of thorax and obscure yellow to yellowish brown on pleuron. Wing membrane smoky greyish. Wing pattern with unusual darker streak along distal anterior margin approximately from R 2 to tip of R 3. Male terminalia with aedeagus unusually broad and paramere widely and shallowly emarginated at posterior margin, with its inner process subacute at tip. Body length 13.2 mm, wing length 16.9 mm.</p><p>Description. Male. Head dark brown on frons and vertex, somewhat paler, brown, and more shiny on rostrum. Palpus dark brown. Antenna 14-segmented, moderately long, reaching to about base of wing. Scape brown, pedicel dark brown, flagellomeres brown, elongate, subcylindrical. Longest verticils about 1.5 times as long as their respective flagellomeres.</p><p>Thorax generally yellowish brown. Pronotum brown, narrowly yellowed laterally and posteriorly. Prescutum and scutum with broad, brown, median area demarcated with prescutal setae, sides of prescutum yellow. Other dorsal part of thorax generally yellowish brown. Pleuron paler than dorsum of thorax, obscure yellow to yellowish brown, slightly darker on anterior part. Wing moderately broad, with width-length ratio about 1: 3.5. Wing membrane smoky greyish. Wing pattern consisting of three darker, diffuse spots at anterior margin, at origin of Rs, at tip of Sc 1, and over R 2; latter spot extended distally, forming diffuse streak along anterior margin of wing in cells C and R 1, reaching approximately from R 2 to tip of R 3. Space between latter two markings slightly yellowed. Variously distinct darker, diffuse seams, especially along Cu and so-called outer cord. Venation usual for Limonia, with discal cell short, squarish; M 3+4 shorter than M 4. Halter with pale stem, slightly darker on knob. Legs generally yellow, with fore coxa slightly darker, obscure yellow; tips of femora darkened, distal tarsomeres dark brown; tarsomeres 1 about twice as long as rest of tarsi.</p><p>Abdomen yellowish brown, with anterior and posterior margins of tergites yellow; ventral side paler. Male terminalia (Figs 7–8) yellowish brown, broad and robust. Tergite 9 essentially lentil-shaped in outline, transverse. Posterior margin broadly rounded, formed by chitinized bar with shallow U-shaped median notch. Gonocoxite very stout and short. Gonostylus conical, rather short, evenly arched and tapered to narrowly rounded tip, considerably swollen in proximal half. Aedeagus remarkable in being unusually broad, still more so in proximal half. Paramere widely and shallowly emarginated at posterior margin, with its inner process broad at base, tapered to subacute tip.</p><p>Female unknown.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. With its wing length of 16.9 mm, the new species represents the largest Palaearctic Limonia . Two other Palaearctic species of the genus approach the size, viz. Limonia lindbergi Nielsen, 1962 (wing length 14–16 mm), of Afghanistan, and L. synempora Alexander, 1933 (wing length 15 mm), of China. These are considerably different in general appearance both from each other and from L. enormis sp. nov. Whereas the other species described in this paper all have the typical appearance of Limonia within the species groups adopted by SAVCHENKO (1985), L. enormis sp. nov. looks rather strange with its smoky greyish wing and diffuse wing pattern, with an unusual streak along the distal anterior margin. Although L. lindbergi has only a single spot on the wing (over R 2), (having been compared with L. macrostigma (Schummel, 1829) in the original description) its male terminalia, as far as they were adequately illustrated (cf. NIELSEN 1962: Fig. 2), show some similarities with L. enormis sp. nov., such as a lentil-shaped tergite 9 and a powerful aedeagus.</p><p>Etymology. The new species is named enormis after its enormous body size.
