03CB5C6EFFB87C55FF00AFF8FC416C72.taxon	discussion	Remarks: This species was collected by sweep-netting over flowers of Wedelia sp. (Asteraceae) but that is unlikely to be its host plant. It is similar to E. pterocallaeformis by having the subhyaline spots arranged in distinct, subparallel transverse rows but can be differentiated by the presence of a fully fulvous abdomen without black spots in males and with only a single pair of spots (on tergite VI) in females, lateral surstylus without acutely pointed apex and an eversible membrane with elongate-oval spicules with blunt apices, whereas E. pterocallaeformis has two pairs of abdominal spots in both sexes, an acutely pointed lateral surstylus and an eversible membrane with apically pointed spicules. Elaphromyia juncta is similar to E. siva in having a fully yellow abdomen in males and only one pair of spots in females, but E. siva can be easily separated by the rounder, well separated subhyaline spots on the wing and semicircular-shaped spicules on the eversible membrane.	en	David, K.

03CB5C6EFFBF7C57FF00A8E3FEC96A3A.taxon	discussion	Remarks: This species is much smaller than the other two species recorded from India (E. juncta and E. pterocalleformis) and is the smallest species known. Apart from the difference in size, it can be differentiated from the other two species by the presence of rounder subhyaline spots that are not aligned into subparallel transverse rows and the presence of a single spot in the subcostal cell. It can be differentiated further from E. pterocalleformis in lacking acutely pointed lateral surstylus and by the elongate-oval spicules on the distal end of the eversible membrane and abdominal markings. Described originally from Sri Lanka, this species is recorded for the first time from India, having been previously misidentified as E. pterocallaeformis by David & Ramani (2011: fig. 104). The identity of the Indian specimens has been confirmed by comparison with photographs of the Holotype female from Sri Lanka.	en	David, K. J., Hancock, D. L., Sachin, K., Ramya, R. S., Ramani, S.

03CB5C6EFFBD7C58FF00AE86FECD6A63.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis (Figs 25, 26): This species was originally described by Bezzi (1913) from northern India. Hardy (1973, 1974) illustrated the female postabdominal structures. It is characterised by having the round to elongate subhyaline markings in the wing arranged in transverse rows similar to E. juncta but with 6 – 7 marginal spots in cell r 1, unlike the four spots normally seen in E. juncta and E. siva. The abdomen of E. pterocallaeformis has four black spots / markings on the last two tergites. Male genitalia: Epandrium broad with no demarcation between surstylus and epandrium; apex of lateral surstylus with a medial teat-like projection (in profile view) (Fig. 27); proctiger short, much smaller than epandrium; medial surstylus shorter than lateral surstylus and with well-developed prensisetae (Fig. 28). Phallus relatively longer than in the other two species (1.70 mm); glans of phallus sclerotised with acrophallus patterned and broadly bifid apically (Fig. 29). Female genitalia: Oviscape (0.84 mm) conical, orange-yellow with black basal rim (Fig. 30); eversible membrane (0.69 mm) with elongate taeniae; spicules on distal end conical (Figs 31, 32); aculeus (0.64 mm) curved, flattened in sagittal plane, pointed with reduced preapical setae (Fig. 33); spermathecae dark brown to black, elongate-oval with numerous hair-like projections all over (Fig. 34).	en	David, K.

03CB5C6EFFBD7C58FF00AE86FECD6A63.taxon	distribution	Distribution: Widespread in SE Asia but in India only known with certainty from Himachal Pradesh and Uttaranchal (Bezzi, 1913) and, presumably, from other northern States of Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya and West Bengal as listed by Agarwal & Sueyoshi (2005). Records of E. pterocallaeformis from western Karnataka (Kemmangundi, Mudigere area and Jog Falls, Gersoppa) by Hancock & McGuire (2001) have not been re-examined but are almost certainly misidentifications of E. juncta, while those of David & Ramani (2011) are misidentifications of E. siva.	en	David, K.

Scutellum brown with two pairs of scutellar setae. All leg segments fulvous except hind femur with basal and medial black spots; forefemur with a single row of 6 – 7 ventral setae. Wing elongate (6.33 mm), parallel-sided and predominantly dark brown with numerous hyaline and subhyaline markings, costal and anal margins predominantly hyaline with faint brown markings, cells r 1 and r 2 + 3 with very small, closely packed hyaline spots, subhyaline markings appear to be transversely arranged, cell m with 4 prominent hyaline bands from the margin. Abdomen elongate-oval, all tergites dark brown to black with faint yellow markings laterally. Male genitalia (Figs 37 – 39): Epandrium broad, with no demarcation between lateral surstylus and epandrium, proctiger smaller than epandrium, apex of lateral surstylus pointed with numerous setae; epandrium and lateral surstyli round (posterior view) with apical extension of surstylus prominent; phallus elongate (4.54 mm) with a sclerotised rod like structure in glans of phallus, vesica as long as phallus.	en	David, K.

Since only a single specimen is available and considering its overall appearance and dark abdomen, we provisionally regard the Indian specimen as a variant of Elaphromyia yunnanensis; however, further material might show it to be specifically distinct.	en	David, K.
