03D587EF8314FFFC1C8F384C2896E638.taxon	description	Description: Holotype male: Head: Eyes bare. Frons subshining black and uniformly covered with microsculpture, narrowing steadily from level of ocellar triangle to antennal bases, covered with short interfrontal setulae at most one quarter length of orbital setae. Orbital plate shining black and without setulae. Lunule partly hidden below frons due to shrinkage of head, number of setulae on lunule not known, lower part of lunule silvered. Parafacials and the lateral margins of the face silvered, face ventrally subshining black. Anterior genal setulae in single row of four along mouth margin, none particularly strong. Antennal flagellomere very long, almost four times as long as deep, black apart from, on medial surface, narrowly orange at base and along one third of ventral margin. Arista with short pubescence dorsally and ventrally, as long as width of arista. Thorax: Disc brightly shining, covered with short appressed setulae no more than one quarter length of orbital setae. Anepisternum with three strong anterior setae and apparently only two posterior, although some may be missing due to damage. Katepisternum with one strong seta and several other relatively strong setulae anterior to it. One propleural and one slightly weaker stigmatical setae. Scutellum with disc shining, slightly metallic, damaged in that two apical setae missing but with at least two short setulae between apical and lateral setae. Squamae pale with light gold fringes. Wing slightly yellowish anteriorly. Wing length 3.5 mm. Legs: All black apart from basal and second tarsomeres of all legs clear yellow, apical tarsomeres darkened. Male terminalia; Figs. 1 – 3. Epandrium rather bulbous, bearing three strong setulae along posterior margin. Cerci as tall as epandrium, with fringe of rather short setulae. In ventral view surstyli extending beyond shell of epandrium along most of ventral margin, with fringe of setulae along the lateral margins, these setulae moderately long and becoming longer posteriorly. Basal plate or sclerite bearing one strong, black tooth. Aedeagus J-shaped, basal part relatively narrow and sinuous with, just distal to middle, two finger-like projections extending ventrally, almost reaching apical section. Apical section almost twice as long as basal, sinuous and becoming thinner towards apex. Differential diagnosis: This species belongs to the Lonchaea impressifrons group of species established by McAlpine (1960). This group is composed of a number of very similar small species, which have a combination of yellow tarsomeres, clear wings and pale squamae and long antennal flagellomere. The male terminalia characteristically have tall rather hooded cerci, rounded epandrium, long aedeagus and surstyli bearing hooks, projections or spines. In this species there is one strong black tooth on the basal plate of the surstylus. The aedeagus is in general rather similar to that of Lonchaea fangi sp. nov. but in this case the two processes on the basal section are much longer and parallel sided and extend out like a pair of arms from the body.	en	Introduction, Iain, Fallén, Lonchaea, Morge, Setisquamalonchaea (2007): New pecies of Lonchaeidae (Diptera: Schizophora) from Asia.

03D587EF8316FFFB1C8F3DD12972E490.taxon	description	Description: Holotype male: Head: Eyes with long, dense, dark hairs, these almost half as long as orbital setae. Frons, on central part between ocelli and antennal bases parallel sided, just less than half eye width, dull grey-black with few fine linear grooves on its surface, bearing numerous long interfrontal setulae, longest setulae 80 % length of orbital setae. Orbital plate bare and weakly shining. Lunule with 6 – 7 long setulae on each side, when seen in dorsal view slightly silvered as is face. Parafacials also silvered, this extending ventrally to anterior part of genae. Genae anteriorly with single row of four short setae anteriorly along mouth margin, posterior to these a double row of six stronger setae and posterior to these multiserial rows beneath eye. Antennal flagellomere entirely black, just under 2.5 times as long as deep, reaching ventrally to just dorsal of mouth margin. Arista bare, entirely black. Thoracic dorsum matt black, covered in long, dense setulae three quarters as long as orbital setae. Notopleural depression bearing a few setulae. Anepisternum covered in long, dense setulae, no strong setae anteriorly but with four posteriorly. One propleural and five stigmatical setae. Katepisternum partially obscured by mounting gum on each side but apparently bearing one long, fine setae and numerous long setulae. Squamae dark brown with slightly lighter margins, fringe golden brown, containing few hairs slightly longer than others. Scutellum matt black with long setulae on margins, more than half as long as marginal setae including a few situated anterior to lateral seta, scutellar disc also covered in setulae apart from on basal and central areas. Wings slightly fumose. Wing length 5.5 mm. Intercostal space twice as long as crossvein R- M. Legs entirely black. Abdomen dull black, first sternite entirelly bare. Male terminalia: Figs. 4 – 6. In lateral view epandrium diamond shaped, as tall as wide, bearing rather regular row of setulae along posterior margin with several more situated on posteroventral corner. Cerci large almost half as high as the epandrium, rectangular and bearing short setulae on the ventral and posterior margins, surstyli contained within epandrium. Parameres long, sclerotised, curved at apex which also bears a few setulae on lateral margin, aedeagal guide also exceptionally well developed, sclerotised, long and narrow, curved apically and with a small notch. In ventral view margins of surstyli just visible, bearing three wellspaced spinules. Aedeagus in lateral view a rather simple J-shaped sinuous tube, apex membranous. Differential diagnosis: With hairy eyes, a single row of anterior genal setulae, multiple stigmatical setae, dark squamal fringe and black legs this species shows some affinities to European species such as Lonchaea hirticeps Zetterstedt, 1837 and L. corusca Czerny, 1934. However the unique features of the male terminalia including the well-developed parameres, aedeagal guide and simple tubular aedeagus easily separate this species from other known species of Lonchaea.	en	Introduction, Iain, Fallén, Lonchaea, Morge, Setisquamalonchaea (2007): New pecies of Lonchaeidae (Diptera: Schizophora) from Asia.

03D587EF8310FFF91C8F38A42966E058.taxon	description	Description: Holotype male: Head: Eyes sparsely covered with short pale hairs which, in length, are slightly less than width of anterior ocellus. Frons narrowing steadily from level of ocellar triangle to a point just above antennal bases at which point it is 40 % eye width, subshining black with long frontal and interfrontal setulae many of which are half the length of orbital setae. Anterior margin of the frons with a median notch extending slightly dorsally up the frons. Orbital plate shining and bare. Lunule with approximately eight setulae, moderately silvered. Face and parafacials also moderately silvered. Anterior genal setulae in single row of 5 – 6 along mouth margin, none of these markedly stronger than other setulae on genae. Antennal flagellomere black, basally with an orange spot on inner margin, short, one and a half times as long as deep. Arista black with short pubescence only as long as the arista is wide. Thorax: Disc and pleurae brightly shining, disc covered with setulae which are one third as long as orbital setae. Anepisternum with three anterior setae, these weak and difficult to distinguish from other setulae on sclerite, posteriorly with four slightly stronger setae. Katepisternum with one setae, with setulae present ventrally and posteriorly to it. One propleural and two stigmatical setae. Scutellum on margin with five setulae on each side between apical and lateral setae, these long about half length of setae, some creeping onto the edge of the disc, four setulae between apical setae. Squamae pale with pale margins and fringes. Wings clear, veins yellow. Wing length 3.5 mm. Intercostal space twice that of crossvein R-M. Legs all black but basal and second tarsomeres clear yellow. Male terminalia: Figs. 9 – 11. In lateral view epandrium only slightly wider than high, convex ventrally and with only a small, blunt apical process, along posterior margin bearing two long setulae, ventral to these and along ventral margin with a fringe of shorter setulae, a few setulae on surface of the epandrium at the posteroventral corner. Cerci small, only about one quarter height of epandrium, emerging from the epandrium on ventral half of the posterior margin, not chitinised and bearing only a few relatively short setulae apically, a row of longer ones present parallel to posterior margin. Surstyli not projecting beyond the shell of the epandrium. In ventral view surstyli with lateral margins emarginate posteriorly, entire margin with a row of short setulae, no strong spicules present on the inner surface of surstyli. Aedeagus two segmented, apical segment very short and rectangular, basal portion with a broad square base and a straight apical part almost as long as depth of basal part. Differential diagnosis: This is a small rather hairy species which, with a single row of anterior genal setulae, pale squamal fringe, partly pale tarsomeres and bare orbital plate shows some affinities to European species such as Lonchaea collini Hackman, 1953 and L. nitidissima Kovalev, 1978. The presence of two stigmatical setulae and characteristic male terminalia do however serve to distinguish this species from other similar Lonchaea species.	en	Introduction, Iain, Fallén, Lonchaea, Morge, Setisquamalonchaea (2007): New pecies of Lonchaeidae (Diptera: Schizophora) from Asia.

Frons covered in long dense frontal and interfrontal setulae amongst which the orbital setae are scarcely discernible. Orbital plate bearing five to six long setulae. Frons narrowing slightly from level of ocellar triangle to antennal bases where it is approximately half eye width, centrally a broad stripe of silver dusting extending up the frons around the edges of the ocellar plate. Lunule silvered with two to three short setulae on each side near the upper margin. Face and parafacials covered in dense silver dusting. Anterior genal setae numbering about twelve on each side, partly in single rows and partly in double rows. Palpi black with strong setulae at apex and along the inner margin.

Frons parallel sided, subshining, with relatively long scattered interfrontal setulae almost half as long as orbital setae, longer setulae on anterior margin above the lunule. Orbital plates broad and shining, without setulae. Lunule with ground colour dark orange, with three strong setulae on each side. In dorsal view face and parafacials with light grey dusting. Anterior genal setulae forming a single row of three or four along mouth margin, none of these markedly stronger than the other setulae on the genae. Antennal flagellomere two and a half times as long as deep, broadly orange at base on inner surface, this colouration extending along basal third of the ventral surface. Arista yellow basally with short pubescence approximately as long as width of the arista. Thorax: disc shining apart from some light dusting in pre-scutellar area, anepisternum shining centrally on upper part otherwise all pleurae lightly dusted. Notopleural depression bare apart from two strong setae. One propleural and one slightly weaker stigmatical setae. Anepisternum with three strong anterior and three strong posterior setae. Katepisternum with one strong setae, a few setulae present posterior to it. Scutellum dusted, margin with two setulae between lateral and apical setae, two setulae between apical setae. Squamae pale with pale margins, squamal fringe dark. Wings clear with yellow veins. Intercostal space approximately twice length of crossvein R-M. Wing length 3.5 mm. Legs black apart from basal and second tarsomeres of all legs which are yellow, basal tarsomeres of anterior and posterior legs with a fringe of golden setulae ventrally.

Aedeagus two segmented, basal part rather simple, apical part as long as basal part, elbowed basally and apically. Differential diagnosis: This is a fairly “ general ” Lonchaea species with few distinguishing features apart from, in the male terminalia, the surstylus having a large posterior lobe and a row of small teeth on ventral margin. The aedeagus is two segmented, both parts are characteristically shaped and almost equal in size.	en	Introduction, Iain, Fallén, Lonchaea, Morge, Setisquamalonchaea (2007): New pecies of Lonchaeidae (Diptera: Schizophora) from Asia.

03D587EF831FFFF41C8F39032859E3A8.taxon	description	Description: Holotype male: Head: Eyes with scattered, very short hairs, these less than width of an ocellus. Frons narrowing to a point one third of distance between ocellar plate and antennal bases, then widening slightly ventrally, subshining black, covered in microsculpture, frontal setulae on eye margins recurved towards centre line frons, scattered interfrontal setulae on central part of frons, longest of all of these no more than one third length of orbital setae. Orbital plate subshining, rather silvery grey with microsculpture, with no setulae. Lunule with six rather strong setulae, dark ground colour but covered in silver dusting as are parafacials and face more so dorsally than ventrally. Anterior genal setulae in a single row of five or six along mouth margin, these setulae rather strong, basal ones in the row being the strongest on the genae. Antennal flagellomere entirely black, twice as long as deep. Arista all black, with very short pubescence only as long on each side as width of arista. Thorax: disc rather silver metallic and dull, iridescent reflections visible in some lights, covered with appressed setulae approximately one third length of orbital setae, pleurae also silver-grey. Anepisternum with two strong anterior setae and three posteriorly. Katepisternum with two setae, no setulae ventral or posterior to them. Prothorax with two or three setulae on both sides. One propleural and one stigmatical setae. Scutellum with disc also silver-metallic and subshining, margin on each side with four setulae between the apical and lateral setae, these in multiserial vertical rows, two setulae between apical setae. Squamae pale with orange-red margin long pale golden fringes of uniform length. Wings slightly fumose anteriorly. Wing length 4.5 mm. Intercostal space 1.5 times length of crossvein R-M. Legs: entirely black. Abdomen: first sternite bearing one or two setulae on lateral margins. Male terminalia: Figs. 21 & 22. In lateral view, epandrium twice as broad as high, rounded ventrally and with a small anterior process. Along ventral margin bearing a fringe of long setulae, these as long as the greatest depth of epandrium, posterodorsally with a group of four shorter setulae. Cerci triangular in shape, not heavily sclerotised, at apex with a tight group of approximately twenty stout black setulae, a scattering of short setulae along posterior margin and posterodorsally. In ventral view surstyli simple rounded lobes but with rows of fine setulae along their lateral margins, no basal plate or teeth present. Aedeagus very deep and broad basally with apical part a rather straight angled tube, on ventral margin of basal part about eighteen finger-like processes. Female: Unknown. Differential diagnosis: Based on the presence of the two strong setae on the katepisternum, an almost bare arista and with setulae on the first abdominal sternite this species keys out to the genus Setisquamalonchaea. The presence of setulae on the prothorax also shows that this species has some affinity to the genus Silba but the lack of any teeth on the inner margin of the surstylus eliminate it from that genus. The exact boundaries between the genera Lonchaea and Setisquamalonchaea are still unclear especially with regard to some southeast Asian species. At this present time I am placing this species in the genus Setisquamalonchaea, future taxonomic study may reveal a different relationship. This species differs from the few other known Setisquamalonchaea species in terms of the distinct cerci and aedeagus and by having the surstyli almost entirely within the shell of the epandrium, these differences are perhaps not too surprising as there are other derived species of Lonchaeidae present in Taiwan.	en	Introduction, Iain, Fallén, Lonchaea, Morge, Setisquamalonchaea (2007): New pecies of Lonchaeidae (Diptera: Schizophora) from Asia.

03D587EF831EFFF31C8F39412993E280.taxon	description	Description: Holotype male: Head: Eyes bare. Frons velvet black, narrowing gradually to a point two thirds of the way between anterior ocellus and lunule margin, at its narrowest point 40 % eye width, with approximately twelve frontal setulae and numerous interfrontal setulae, all of these short, not more than one sixth the length of orbital setae, some longer setulae present along anterior margin. Orbital plate narrow, subshining black and without setulae. Lunule with six setulae, sparsely silvered as are the face and parafacials. Anterior genal setulae extending in a single row of four along mouth margin, these set slightly apart from the other genal setulae but not noticeably longer or stronger than them. Antennal flagellomere twice as long as broad entirely black apart from a small orange spot basally on inner surface. Arista entirely black, short pubescent, width laterally equivalent to the width of the arista. Thorax: disc subshining black and covered in sparse dusting as are pleurae, with appressed setulae which are no more than one third length of orbital setae. Notopleural depression bare apart from two setae. Anepisternum with three strong anterior setae and four strong posterior setae. Katepisternum with two strong setae, posterior of these only slightly longer and stronger than anterior. One propleural and one slightly weaker stigmatical setae. Prosternum bare. Scutellum on margin with two setulae between lateral and apical setae, two between the apical setae, these all relatively short. Squamae pale with golden margin and a pale fringe, about four of the setulae in the middle of fringe distinctly longer than the others. Wings slightly yellowish anteriorly. Wing length 5.0 mm. Intercostal space just less than twice length of crossvein R-M. Legs all black but with a ventral fringe of golden setulae on apical part of the anterior tibiae and on basal and second tarsomeres of anterior and posterior legs. Abdomen, first sternite bare. Male terminalia; Figs. 23 – 25. In lateral view epandrium almost twice as high as wide, rather rectangular in shape, bearing three or four well spaced setulae on posterior margin and with fringe of long setulae along ventral margin. Cerci also rather rectangular, less than half height of epandrium, not sclerotised, bearing a few scattered setulae along posterior margin and a denser fringe along ventral margin. Surstyli extending ventrally from the shell of epandrium and forming a posteroventral process reaching up to one third of the height of the cerci. In ventral view margin of surstyli with a slight excavation anteriorly. Two small broad, triangular processes present at base of the cerci. Aedeagus a very simple, vase-like structure, basally swollen with a narrower apex. Female: apical segment of the ovipositor long and narrow, dorsally bearing two long, pale setulae half way along, these 75 % the length of the segment, ventrally just before apex with another pair half as long as the segment. Differential diagnosis: Although there is still some lack of clarity regarding the boundaries of the genus Setisquamalonchaea in south-east Asia this particular species seems to agree relatively well with the nominate species of the genus S. fumosa (Egger, 1862) known from Europe. This new species has two strong setae on katepisternum, almost bare arista and squamal fringe bearing a group of long setulae centrally. The male terminalia also agree with that of S. fumosa in that the surstylus projects as a simple process posteroventrally and the aedeagus is a rather simple one piece tube. The female also shares with S. fumosa the characteristic of a pair of long dorsal setulae situated medially on the apical section of the ovipositor. The only major difference between this species and S. fumosa, apart from the features of the terminalia, is that there are no setulae present on the margins of the first abdominal sternite.	en	Introduction, Iain, Fallén, Lonchaea, Morge, Setisquamalonchaea (2007): New pecies of Lonchaeidae (Diptera: Schizophora) from Asia.

03D587EF831BFFEF1C8F38C32DD1E6B0.taxon	description	Description: Holotype male: Head: Eyes bare. Frons narrow, narrowing from level of anterior ocellus to its anterior margin, at narrowest point approximately one quarter eye width, matt black, dulled with microsculpture, frontal and interfrontal setulae very short, a few longer ones present along the anterior margin. Orbital plates without setulae, brightly shining black. Lunule bearing two setulae, orange-brown in ground colour, covered with silver dusting. Parafacials and upper face also silvered. Anterior genal setulae in a single row of four or five along mouth margin, none of these especially strong. Antennal flagellomere just over twice as long as deep, entirely black apart from being obscurely brown ventrally basally on inner surface. Arista yellow basally, long plumose, plumosity at its greatest extent almost twice depth of antennal flagellomere. Thorax: Disc shining, bearing short setulae at most one quarter length of orbital setae. Anepisternum with three strong setae anteriorly and three posteriorly. Katepisternum with two setulae, anterior one significantly weaker and shorter than posterior. One propleural and one finer stigmatical setae. Scutellum slightly damaged, brightly shining on the disc, apparently with no setulae between the strong setae. Squamae whitish with a white fringe. Wings clear with light brown veins. Wing length 3.0 mm. Legs entirely black. Male terminalia; Figs. 29 & 30. In lateral view epandrium almost twice as high as s wide, posteriorly rather pointed and culminating in a short process, anteriorly relatively broad and square ended, semi-circular excavation on dorsal margin, ventral margin with a row of short setulae along most of its length, a few setulae dorsally near the posterior apex. Cerci very small, not sclerotised, bearing a row of short setulae along dorsal margin. Surstyli almost completely enclosed within epandrium apart from a small, rounded anterior projection on the inner surface, with a continuous row of fourteen small teeth lying parallel to the ventral margin, the most posterior of these projecting posteriorly beyond shell of epandrium. Aedeagus with basal part relatively broad with a semi-circular excavation dorsally, outer portion long and narrow, half way along with a 45 ° bend, apex slightly flared. Differential diagnosis: This species belongs to the Silba abstata McAlpine, 1956 group of species all of which are rather small, with a relatively short antennal flagellomere, an elongate epandrium with short cerci and with a row of teeth on the inner surface of the surstyli situated parallel to the ventral margin. McAlpine (1975) provided a key to the known species. With a pale squamal fringe and a simple aedeagus this species is most closely similar to S. lucens (de Meijere, 1910) from Java and S. imitata McAlpine, 1964 from Australia. It is distinguished from both these species by having more teeth on the surstylus including one projecting posteriorly and by the more slender, angled aedeagus.	en	Introduction, Iain, Fallén, Lonchaea, Morge, Setisquamalonchaea (2007): New pecies of Lonchaeidae (Diptera: Schizophora) from Asia.

Frons just less than half eye width, almost parallel sided between ocellar triangle and bases of antennae, flat apart from some minute linear striations, with some light grey dusting, bearing very short frontal and interfrontal setulae which are not more than one fifth as long as orbital setae, longer setulae present on anterior margin above lunule. Orbital plate narrow and rather matt with fine microsculpture, bare apart from orbital setae. Lunule with orange brown ground colour, this coloration extending across the entire face and lower parafacials, centre of the face slightly metallic in some lights. A single row of six anterior genal setulae extending along mouth edge, basal setulae of this row the strongest on the genae but not markedly stronger than the others. Antennal flagellomere all black, two and a half times as long as deep, reaching over the mouth edge, apex rounded. Arista yellowish basally, plumosity at its maximum extent approximately half as wide as the depth of antennal flagellomere. Thorax: disc and pleurae lightly dusted, setulae on disc short, only one third as long as orbital setae. Anepisternum with three long and strong anterior setae and three similar posterior setae. One propleural setae and one shorter and weaker stigmatical. Two strong setae on the katepisternum, posterior slightly longer and stronger than anterior, a few longer setulae half as long as anterior setae lying anterior to anterior setae, other shorter setulae also present on anterior part of this sclerite. Scutellum with lateral strong setae situated on the edge of the scutellar disc obviously dorsal to the level of the insertion of the apical setae, the lateral setae long, reaching back over the scutellum three quarters of the way along the length of the apical pair, margin with two short setulae between apical setae, six setulae between apical and lateral setae on one side four on the other, these in double rows with two upper setulae longer than the lower four. Squamae greyish with a dark fringe. Wing length 4.0 mm. Legs black. Male terminalia; Figs. 31 – 34. In lateral view epandrium one and a half times higher than wide, almost tear-shaped but with a slight excavation on the dorsal margin, posteroventrally with several rows of relatively long setulae these extending down the ventral margin, four or five situated posteriorly these relatively long and strong, three quarters length of the cerci. Cerci leaf-shaped, narrowed at base, half height of epandrium, apical half covered in short setulae. Surstyli projecting posteriorly as a rounded lobe, basal plate also visible, anteriorly also extending as a small rounded lobe. In ventral view lateral margins of surstyli with a fringe of short setulae, basal plate bearing five short, black teeth. One long, thin spine situated at the base of each cercus. Aedeagus with basal part deep, arising from this a single lower rounded process above which lie a pair of thin, straight, pointed processes. Differential diagnosis; This species is similar to several other Malaysian Silba species with dark squamal fringes and dark legs, apart from the noticeable short plumosity on the arista this species is most easily separated by the distinctive features of the male terminalia.	en	Introduction, Iain, Fallén, Lonchaea, Morge, Setisquamalonchaea (2007): New pecies of Lonchaeidae (Diptera: Schizophora) from Asia.

Frons matt black, dulled by microsculpture, parallel sided on its central part where it is approximately two thirds eye width, frontal and interfrontal setulae very short, only about one tenth the length of orbital setae, slightly longer setulae present on the anterior margin. Orbital plate also slightly dulled by microsculpture, bare of setulae. Lunule with three / four setulae present on each side, ground colour light brown but covered with intense silver dusting. Face and parafacials also silvered. Anterior genal setulae in a single row of five along mouth margin, the basal two strong and setae-like, by far the strongest setulae on the genae. Second antennal segment reddish-brown. Antennal flagellomere entirely black, just with a trace of brown at extreme base on inner surface, about two and a half times as long as deep. Arista yellow on the basal third, long plumose, plumosity at its maximum extent almost one and a half times the depth of antennal flagellomere. Thorax: Disc shining black with moderate dusting in the pre-scutellar area, covered with moderately dense setulae approximately one quarter the length of orbital setae. Pleurae dusted. Anepisternum with two strong anterior setae and three posterior strong setae, upper posterior setae slightly weaker and situated anterior to the other two. Katepisternum with two setae, the posterior one slightly stronger and situated at a level just dorsal to the anterior, no setulae ventral or posterior to these setae. One propleural and one shorter and finer stigmatical setae. Scutellum dusted grey-metallic on the disc, on margin on each side between the apical and lateral setae with six to seven setulae in multiserial rows, upper row with one or two stronger setulae whilst lower rows contain shorter setulae, two setulae present between apical setae. Squamae pale with pale margins and fringes. Wings clear with light yellow veins. Wing length 4.0 mm. Legs: entirely black. Male terminalia; Figs. 35 – 38. In lateral view epandrium twice as high as wide, with a small anterior process, posteroventrally covered in multiple rows of short setulae with longer ones posteriorly along the margin, none of these particularly strong. Cerci not heavily sclerotised, upright and rounded apically, relatively small, less than half height of epandrium, with moderately long, well spaced setulae apically, some shorter ones on the ventral margin. One projecting tooth visible at the base of the cerci on one side, on the other side there are two teeth in this position. In ventral view surstyli with a vertical row of eight small black teeth extending down the inner surface below the posteriorly projecting tooth, the upper five in a distinct row, the lower three slightly more scattered. One thin sharp spine present on each side below the base of the cerci. Aedeagus in lateral view with a relatively wide basal portion from which arises the thin recurved apical part, a pair of thin finger-like processes arising from the basal part and extending below the upwardly curving apical portion. Female: unknown. Differential diagnosis: This species belongs to the Silba abstata McAlpine, 1956 group of species all of which are rather small, with a relatively short antennal flagellomere, an elongate epandrium with short cerci and a row of teeth on the inner surface of the surstyli situated parallel to the ventral margin. It is most closely related to S. abstata itself which also has a pale squamal fringe and basal processes on the aedeagus, but, this species differs from S. abstata in having a wider frons, a slightly dulled orbital plate, fewer setulae on the lunule, longer aristal plumosity and clear wings. In the male terminalia of S. abstata (McAlpine, 1956) the epandrium is three times as high as it is wide, compared to twice as high in this species and the inner teeth on the surstyli are more regularly spaced. The aedeagus of both species is similar in shape.	en	Introduction, Iain, Fallén, Lonchaea, Morge, Setisquamalonchaea (2007): New pecies of Lonchaeidae (Diptera: Schizophora) from Asia.

Lunule with brownish ground colour but covered in silver dusting, bearing four setulae. Upper face and parafacials slightly silvered. Anterior genal setulae in a single row of four or five along the mouth margin, none of these exceptionally strong. Antennal flagellomere entirelly black, two and a half times as long as deep. Arista black with long plumosity which at its greatest extent is one and a half times the depth of the flagellomere. Thorax: disc brightly shining black, covered with short setulae at most one quarter the length of orbital setae, thoracic sclerites rather grey-metallic dusted. Anepisternum with two anterior and three posterior strong setae. Katepisternum with two strong setae, anterior one rather weaker than the posterior, no setulae posterior or ventral to these. One propleural and one stigmatical setae which is as long as the propleural but only half its width. Scutellum with disc dusted grey-metallic, on margin with two setulae on each side between apical and lateral setae, two tiny setulae between apical setae. Squamae and margins pale, with long light-golden fringes. Wings uniformly light fumose. Wing length 3.7 mm. Legs, entirely black. Male terminalia; Figs. 42 – 44. In lateral view epandrium one and a half times as high as wide, apically with a small semi-circular excavation on the dorsal margin, bearing a row of well spaced moderately long setulae along the posteroventral and ventral margins. Cerci approximately one third the height of the epandrium, bluntly pointed, sclerotised apically and bearing a fringe of setulae. Surstyli visible outside the shell of the epandrium as a rather blunt and rounded posteroventral process. In ventral view surstyli with a row of six small black basally, below cerci on each side with one small fine setulae. Aedeagus J-shaped, a thin a narrow curve but with a characteristic flared section just before the apex. Differential diagnosis: there are several south-east Asian Silba species with the combination of pale squamal fringes and all black legs. The most obvious feature of this species is the long, thin aedeagus with the widened section just before the apex. This type of slender aedeagus is also found in the widespread S. perplexa (Walker, 1861) but in that species there is no flared area apically, instead the apex is angled to the main shaft.	en	Introduction, Iain, Fallén, Lonchaea, Morge, Setisquamalonchaea (2007): New pecies of Lonchaeidae (Diptera: Schizophora) from Asia.

Scutellum with disc rather silvery metallic, on margin between lateral and apical setae with two setulae on one side and three on the other, no setulae between apical pair. Squamae pale with golden margins and a pale fringe. Wings clear with yellow veins. Wing length 3.6 mm. Legs black but all tarsomeres pale yellow, apical three tarsomeres appearing darker but this is due to a covering of short black setulae. Male terminalia; Figs. 45 – 48. In lateral view, epandrium more than twice as high as wide, anteriorly rather drawn out into a long process, with a few setulae scattered on anterior part and in a row along ventral margin. Cerci only just over one quarter the height of the epandrium, rather rectangular in shape, moderately sclerotised, ventral margin with a few longer setulae basally otherwise short setulae along posterior and ventral margins getting longer towards the posterioventral angle. In ventral view, two fine setulae present centrally below the bases of cerci, margin of surstyli on upper part bearing five rather sharp black teeth, below these a row of barb-like spinules gradually becoming weaker anteriorly. Aedeagus boat shaped, apical portion a thin rod enclosed basally by two lobe-like projections of the basal portion, the bases of these lobes and the apical part of the basal section bearing a scattering of tiny spinules. Differential diagnosis. With partly yellow tarsomeres, pale squamal fringes and male terminalia, with a tall narrow epandrium, this species belongs to the Silba admiralis McAlpine, 1956 group of species which as well as S. admiralis (India) also includes Silba chalkei McAlpine, 1956 (Korea); Silba pappi Soós, 1977 (Afghanistan) and Silba flavitarsis MacGowan, 2004 (Taiwan). The relatively short cerci and the characteristic aedeagus however easily distinguish this species from other members of this group.	en	Introduction, Iain, Fallén, Lonchaea, Morge, Setisquamalonchaea (2007): New pecies of Lonchaeidae (Diptera: Schizophora) from Asia.

03D587EF8303FFE71C8F3A492821E720.taxon	description	Description: Holotype male: Head: Eyes bare. almost parallel sided widening only slightly dorsal to antennal bases, at narrowest point two thirds eye width, dull black with microsculpture, bearing short frontal and interfrontal setulae no more than one fifth the length of orbital setae, some longer setulae present along anterior margin. Orbital plates dulled by microsculpture, without setulae. Lunule with four setulae on each side, ground colour dull black but with slight silvering. Face subshining black, slightly silvered, parafacials slightly silvered. Anterior genal setulae in a single row of six along mouth margin, these slightly separated from other setulae on the genae, basal two anterior setae amongst the strongest on the genae although there is also a strong setae-like setulae on the anterior edge of the main group of setulae under eye. Antennal flagellomere entirelly black, two and three quarters as long as deep. Arista brownish basally, with plumosity at its maximum extent just less than depth of antennal flagellomere. Thorax: Disc subshining black, almost entirely covered with fine dust, covered with setulae approximately one third as long as orbital setae. Pleurae dusted. Anepisternum with three strong anterior setae and three strong posterior setae. Katepisternum with two setulae, anterior one slightly weaker than posterior. One propleural and one weaker stigmatical setae. Scutellum lightly dusted on disc, margin on each side with four to five setulae between lateral and apical setae, one on each side situated slightly dorsal to the others and slightly stronger than them. Squamae pale with a gold margin and gold fringe. Wings slightly yellowish anteriorly. Wing length 4.0 mm. Legs: black with basal tarsomeres of all legs brownish. Male terminalia; Figs. 49 – 52. In lateral view epandrium one and a quarter times wider than high, rather rounded with a blunt apical process, posteroventral and ventral margins bearing a few rows of moderately long setulae. Cerci forming a broad, rounded lobe half as high as epandrium, all margins with long setulae, a few longer ones present apically. Surstyli extending beyond the shell of the epandrium posteroventrally as a flat rather rounded lobe, also extending apically as a smaller lobe, teeth on basal lobe visible from the lateral aspect. In ventral view margins of surstyli with a fringe of short setulae, anteriorly with two rather “ club-like ” processes, basal plate bearing six very long, black and rather fine teeth. Aedeagus in the shape of a shallow letter U, with a single basal process slightly emarginate at the apex, upper sinuous part narrowing gradually towards apex, bearing a few small spicules basally. Female: unknown Differential diagnosis: There are many externally similar species present in south-east Asia but the brownish basal tarsomeres make this species stand out from the others. The male genitalia are the main guide in identifying this species, the broad epandrium, very long surstylar teeth and characteristic aedeagus distinguishes it from other Silba species. S. combi sp. nov. also has long surstylar teeth but differs from this species in having a taller epandrium, larger cerci, shorter and more numerous surstylar teeth and a much simpler aedeagus.	en	Introduction, Iain, Fallén, Lonchaea, Morge, Setisquamalonchaea (2007): New pecies of Lonchaeidae (Diptera: Schizophora) from Asia.

In latero-ventral view a row of small peg-like black teeth visible extending from the posteriorly projecting tooth in an almost linear row anteriorly to a point about one third of the way down the inner face of the epandrium, continuing anterior to this a line of short creases, margins of the surstyli on apical third bearing a row of short setulae. Aedeagus a simple U-shape with the apical portion twice as long as the basal portion, apical part slightly sinuous and its bend to the basal section with a translucent area on the inner surface Differential diagnosis: This species belongs to the Silba abstata McAlpine, 1956 group of species all of which are rather small, with a relatively short antennal flagellomere, an elongate epandrium with short cerci and with a row of teeth on the inner surface of the surstyli situated parallel to the ventral margin.
