762FEA72FFC5C733C1CF1C96FE2BFD16.taxon	discussion	Comments. The aedeagal complex of M. bowiei shows affinities with that of a group of seven Patagonian species described by Freeman (1951), that includes M. coxalis Freeman, M. divisus Freeman, M. jaffuelensis Freeman, M. pectinata Freeman and M. taurus Freeman currently not assigned to a particular subgenus and M. forcipata Freeman and M. longistila Freeman included in the subgenus Mycomyopsis. As in M. bowiei, these species share the presence of a pair of long and slender structures ventral to tergite nine and attached to the base of gonostylus, which cross each other and possess a curved apex. Additionally, M. taurus, M. divisus, and M. bowiei share a strikingly similar ventral half of the gonostylus, which bears a rounded process armed with several long setae and two strong hooks (absent in remaining species). With the five remaining species of this group (M. coxalis, M. forcipata, M. jaffuelensis, M. longistila and M. pectinata), M. bowiei shares the lateral processes of tergite 9 with several setae and an apical, elongated and more sclerotized, “ nail-shape ” structure, articulated with the apex of the gonostylus (lacking in M. taurus and M. divisa). Additionally, as in M. bowiei, the tergite nine is U-shaped, with two short lateral lobes in Mycomya coxalis, M. jaffuelensis and M. pectinata, the gonostylus also possess a thick, long inner basal seta in M. coxalis and M. jaffuelensis and there is a comb in the apex of tergite nine in M. forcipata, M. longistila and M. pectinata. However, M. bowiei can be separated by the remaining species of the genus in Patagonia by the unique shape of the aedeagus and gonostylus.	en	Omad, Guillermo, Pessacq, Pablo, Anjos-Santos, Danielle (2017): A new species of Mycomya Rondani (Diptera, Mycetophilidae, Mycomyinae) from Argentinean Patagonia.

Genitalia (Fig. 9 dorsal view; ventral view by Freeman, 1951, Fig. 18). Aedeagus long, same length as parameres, with truncate apex. Parameres thin, black, strongly sclerotized. Gonocoxite wide at base, 3 times longer than gonostylus, with small setae on its surface; gonostylus smaller than gonocoxite, with globular base, tapering towards apex. Tergite one to five dark brown dorsally, turning light brown on the sides; tergite six and seven dark brown, last tergites yellowish; sternites light brown, tergite 9 yellowish; tergite 10 brownish, covered with small setae with processus nearly triangular, ending in a thin, long appendage with two or three short lateral setae on each side of the apex and two long bristles on the base (Fig. 9).
