It is mysterious for me how P. hirtimana could settle such a remote islands as Bonin and Tanna.</p> <p>DISCUSSION. Apparently, Snyder [1965] didn’t read Crosskey’s [1962] revision of Pygophora, the first species he described P. boninensis Snyder, 1965 is most probably P. macularis Wiedemann, 1830. I suspect that the majority of Snyder’s species of Pygophora are synonyms, but examination of the type material in Bishop Museum is required to be sure. However, P. tarsaseta Snyder, 1965 with the intricately modified hind tarsus is no doubt a synonym of P. hirtimana Malloch, 1935 as follows from drawings on Figs 1–2 (the bunch of setulae on tar1–3 may look longer or shorter depending on angle of view) and as well from descriptions.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0393843A754FFE23FE8FF0ED9DC7B858	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Holotype ♂: INDONESIA, W Papua prov., <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=138.71&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-4.14" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 138.71/lat -4.14)">Lake Habbema</a>, 3350 m asl, 4.14°S 138.71°E, 26.12.2014, N. Vikhrev. The same locality, 10.12.2017, N. Vikhrev, 1♂, 1♀.</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION. An endemic of the highlands of New Guinea.</p> <p>NOTES ON MALE. This species was known from single male holotype [Vikhrev, 2015], the second collected male generally fits well the description, but some points could be specified. Orbital chaetotaxy should be described as follows: apart from typical 2 inclinate and 2 reclinate setae there are 2– 3 strong supernumerary inclinate setae and 4–6 additional setulae around inclinate setae (1). Chaetotaxy of t2 of the holotype was described as “3 strong pd ”, the second male has 1 ad and 3 pd on left t2 and 4 pd on right t2 (2). Additional presutural dc seta is unusually strong for Pygophora, so it is better to describe dc as: 2+3 (3). The type locality was indicated as West Papua Province, actually it is Papua Province of Indonesia (4).</p> <p>FEMALE (Fig. 3) of this species was unknown. According to examination of the first female specimen collected in 2017, it differs from male as follows: body length larger: 7.7 mm; wings darkened on anterior half only; t1 with 2 pv; t2 with 4 pd and a dense row of 4–5 shorter ad setae in middle 1/3; t3 without apical lobe; shape of abdomen typical for Pygophora female, with pointed apex.</p> <p>Pygophora unicolor Stein, 1920 REMARKS. In 1920 Paul Stein described a new species of Pygophora by single female from Java. Crosskey’s [1962] diagnosis of P. unicolor was: “distinguished from all other species yet known by entirely dark … colour (of body)”. When Crosskey [1962] published his revision of the genus, the male of P. unicolor was still unknown, while females were recorded also from India (Tamil Nadu and Karnataka states), Peninsular Malaysia (Pahang state) and Papua New Guinea. A single male of P. unicolor was finally found in 1993 again in Tamil Nadu and described [Shinonaga, Tewari, 2008]. In ZMUM collection P. unicolor is now represented by 18 males and 26 females. Such a rich material allows to specify the taxonomy of this species.</p> <p>1. Diagnosis. ♂ ♀: Small Pygophora with entirely black body. Frons not widened, supernumerary inclinate setae absent, arista long plumose in basal part and bare apically. ♀: Typical “ Pygophora ” femoral chaetotaxy: 3 strong and long pv setae on basal half of f2 and f3 and a complete row of av on f3 of which 2–3 in apical third are long and strong. Postpedicel unmodified. All femora dark in basal 2/3. ♂: The most remarkable character of male P. unicolor is the reduced leg chaetotaxy: strong pv and av setae on f2 and f3 described for female are reduced to 1(2) short and fine setulae on each surface, except for 1 medium strong preapical av on f3 (Figs 4–5). Postpedicel long, almost reaching mouth-margin (failing short by about 0.1 of its length). Both calypters are hyaline brown (Figs 4–5).</p> <p>2. The diagnosis given above quite contradicts the description of male P. unicolor by Shinonaga, Tewari [2008] which in my opinion has significant errors: “upper and lower squama creamy white … f2 with 2 long bristles on the middle of pv surface … f3 with a sparse row of long bristles on av surface…”. The most important error is that the most remarkable character of male P. unicolor, the reduced femoral chaetotaxy is missing.</p> <p>3. Examination of our material of P. unicolor shows that there are 2 geographical forms which I regard here in the subspecies rank. The nominotypical P. u. unicolor Stein, 1920 is represented by larger specimens and males with all femora basally dark. Crosskey [1962] examined the holotype of P. unicolor (type locality: Indonesia, Java, Wonosobo (7.35°S 109.90°E, 750 m asl)) and described it as having body length 5 mm and abdomen entirely black. Our specimens from Borneo and Bali belong to the nominotypical subspecies, the geographical reason (Java situating between Bali and Borneo) also confirms it. The South Asian mainland from India to Vietnam is inhabited by a subspecies described below as P. unicolor crosskeyi ssp.n. It has a smaller size and males with mostly or entirely yellow femora.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0393843A754FFE21FC05F00B9CEABFFA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
