825B87C3853E667796C51FE49C22F84A.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This species is named after the great British dipterist Frederick Wallace Edwards, F. R. S. (1888 – 1940), who published relevant contribution to the taxonomy of different families of Bibionomorpha and Culicomorpha, and had as well contributions to the phylogenetic relationships between groups of flies, and to the very concept of kinds of similarities.	en	Amorim, Dalton De Souza, Schnell, Guilherme (2017): A new species of Euricrium Enderlein from southern Brazil, new records for E. varians (Lane), a new combination, and a key for the Neotropical species of the genus.

825B87C3853E667796C51FE49C22F84A.taxon	discussion	Comments. This species is clearly close to E. glaberrimum. These two species share the general shining blackish color of the mesonotum, but also the strong M 1 curvature, the lack of darker markings on the wing membrane of males, and the gonostylus with a pointed apex. The shape of the male flagellomeres, however, clearly diverge between these two species. The neck of the flagellomeres of E. edwardsi, sp. n. is much longer than that of E. glaberrimum, as illustrated by Mohrig & Menzel (2014). The description of the female of E. glaberrimum here, that shows some important dimorphic features, may help to detect additional male / female associations in material of other species of the genus. The degree of infuscation of the wing in males shows some variation between specimens.	en	Amorim, Dalton De Souza, Schnell, Guilherme (2017): A new species of Euricrium Enderlein from southern Brazil, new records for E. varians (Lane), a new combination, and a key for the Neotropical species of the genus.

(MZUSP). Besides the original description of E. varians by Lane (1955: 257), Mohrig & Menzel (2014: 152) carefully redescribed the species, with the reexamination of the female holotype. Mohrig & Menzel (2014) had in hands male specimens from Costa Rica that were considered conspecific with the female holotype from Brazil and illustrated the male flagellomere 4 and the male gonostyle. We have in hands fresh material from the species and we include here color plates — habitus (Figs 3 – 4), antenna (Figs 7 – 8), thorax (Fig 10), male terminalia (Fig 12), and wing (Figs 15 – 16) — with details that help discriminating E. varians from other close congeneric species. The sexual dimorphism in color and in flagellomere shape and extension in E. varians is more striking than in E. edwardsi, sp. n.	en	Amorim, Dalton De Souza, Schnell, Guilherme (2017): A new species of Euricrium Enderlein from southern Brazil, new records for E. varians (Lane), a new combination, and a key for the Neotropical species of the genus.

Pleural sclerites dark brown, shining, except for laterotergite and mediotergite, blackish brown and dull. Postpronotum bare; antepronotum with a single long, fine seta at posterior margin. Proepisternum with sparse fine setae. Proepimeron subtriangular, elongate, extending into antero-dorsal corner of katepisternum. Anepisternum relatively small, largely separated from proepisternum by membranous area, entirely devoid of setation; anepisternal cleft distinct, complete. Katepisternum subtriangular, larger than anepisternum, bare, pre-episternum 2 slender. Mid-pleural pit evident, less sclerotized than surrounding sclerite. Mesepimeron with deep cleft dorsally.

Abdomen: Sclerites densely covered with setae, tergites and sternites brown. The holotype is in good conditions — the tip of the left antenna and the left hind leg are missing; the wings have minor damages. The original description is enough for identification. We add here details missing in Lane’s (1955) description. There is no question that the species belong in the genus Euricrium and a new combination is proposed here. This species is quite similar to E. edwardsi, but some features help to clearly separate them. The most conspicuous is the absence of a light brown macula at the tip of the wing in E. unimacula. As well, E. unimacula has as a longer R 1 and a shorter r-m. Besides the material from the holotype, we examined a good number of additional specimens from the type-locality, and one female from Embu, in the State of São Paulo.	en	Amorim, Dalton De Souza, Schnell, Guilherme (2017): A new species of Euricrium Enderlein from southern Brazil, new records for E. varians (Lane), a new combination, and a key for the Neotropical species of the genus.
