03C16F31C208FFD1FF4EFB06FC3F2EB1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Of the 13 described species, 10 are Palearctic (9 species restricted to the Palearctic Region with 1 of them extended into the Oriental Region) and 3 of them are Nearctic. Before our study, Colobaea had never been recorded from China. Two species (4 males from Inner Mongolia and 1 female from Xinjiang) are reported here for the first time from China. All specimens were collected from the Palearctic Region of China; all other species of Colobaea found during our study are also found in the Palearctic Region.	en	Li, Zhu, Yang, Ding, Murphy, William L.

03C16F31C20EFFD7FF4EFF60FD252B5F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Of the 4 described species, only Ditaeniella grisescens (Meigen, 1830) is known from the Palearctic Region (its range extends into the Oriental Region); the other 3 species are Nearctic or Neotropical. Rozkošný (1987) reported D. grisescens from China, and it is still the only species of Ditaeniella known from China. About 10 males and 5 females were collected both in the Palearctic Region (Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Beijing, Hebei, Xinjiang, Tibet) and the Oriental Region (Yunnan) of China, which is consistent with the known distribution of the genus in the Eastern Hemisphere.	en	Li, Zhu, Yang, Ding, Murphy, William L.

03C16F31C20EFFD5FF4EFD49FAFA2A16.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Comprising 95 described species (with 4 described subspecies), Pherbellia is the largest genus of Sciomyzidae. Species diversity is highest in the Palearctic Region, with 50 species, of which 42 are restricted to the Palearctic Region, with the range of 1 species, Pherbellia cinerella (Fallén, 1820), extending into the Oriental Region. The next highest species diversity is found in the Nearctic Region, with 32 species. Before our study, only 5 species (including 1 subspecies) of Pherbellia were known from the Oriental Region: P. causta (Hendel, 1913) [= Hendel, 1913 b], P. cinerella, P. javana (Meijere, 1919), P. nana reticulata (Thomson, 1869), and P. terminalis (Walker, 1858), and only 6 species (including 1 subspecies) of Pherbellia were known from China: P. brevistriata, P. causta, P. griseola, P. nana reticulata, P. orientalis, and P. terminalis (Knutson 1977; Rozkošný & Elberg 1984; Rozkošný 1987; Rozkošný & Knutson 1991; Li, Yang & Gu 2001). The type localities of 3 of these species are in China: P. nana reticulata, from Kwangtung (Guangdong Province); P. causta, from Taiwan; and P. orientalis, from Harbin (Heilongjiang Province). As a result of our study, at least 15 species of Pherbellia are now known from China, from both the Palearctic and Oriental Regions. Pherbellia brevistriata Li, Yang & Gu 2001 was described as a new species. Examination of additional specimens during this study convinced us that P. brevistriata is identical to P. nana reticulata; thus P. brevistriata becomes a junior synonym of P. nana reticulata. Pherbellia ditoma Steyskal, 1956 is unique among Palearctic species of Pherbellia in having 2 stump veins on M 1 + 2. The original description (Steyskal 1956) was based on a male from Andong, Korea (in the Palearctic Region). During our study we determined 1 male P. ditoma from Jiangxi, 1 male from Zhejiang, and 1 female from Inner Mongolia. Located in the south of China, Jiangxi and Zhejiang are typical Oriental Region areas. Thus, in addition to being found in the Palearctic Region (Vala et al. 2012), our study shows for the first time that P. ditoma also is found in the Oriental Region. During our study we discovered 1 female of P. ditoma (Fig. 35), the first female specimen known of this species, from Inner Mongolia. Pherbellia orientalis Rozkošný & Knutson, 1991 was described as a new species on the basis of 1 female from Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, in the north of China (Palearctic Region). During our study we determined 4 males and 3 females from Yueyang, Hunan Province, in the south of China. The male of this species (Fig. 36) was previously unknown. We also report here the first occurrence of this species in the Oriental Region. Pherbellia schoenherri (Fallén, 1826) is one of the few species in this genus with a reticulated wing pattern (Fig. 38). Two described allopatric subspecies are known: P. s. schoenherri (Fallén, 1826) from the Palearctic Region and P. s. maculata (Cresson, 1920) from the Nearctic Region. Collectively, this species (including both subspecies) was known previously from only the Holarctic Region (Vala et al. 2012, 2013). During our study we identified 2 males and 1 female of this species from Beijing and 2 males and 1 female of this species from Yunnan. The specimens from Yunnan represent the first record of P. schoenherri (P. s. schoenherri) from the Oriental Region. Only 2 species in this genus, P. schoenherri and P. cinerella, are known from both the Palearctic and Oriental Regions.	en	Li, Zhu, Yang, Ding, Murphy, William L.

03C16F31C202FFD8FF4EFAAEFC652A3A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. All 10 described species are restricted to the Palearctic Region. Before our study, Coremacera had never been recorded from China. With a unique tuft of long black hairs at the tip of the postpedicel, about 12 males and 9 females that we examined obviously belonged to this genus. By use of various keys we determined that at least 5 different species were represented by specimens from China (Beijing, Shandong Province, Gansu Province, and Guizhou Province). Beijing, Shandong Province, and Gansu Province are in the Palearctic Region of China, whereas Guizhou Province is in the Oriental Region. Thus, in addition to being found in the Palearctic Region (Vala et al. 2012), our study shows that Coremacera also is found in the Oriental Region.	en	Li, Zhu, Yang, Ding, Murphy, William L.

03C16F31C201FFD9FF4EFC74FBC32AEE.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Of the 12 described species of Dichetophora, 5 [D. finlandica Verbeke, 1964; D. japonica Sueyoshi, 2001; D. kumadori Sueyoshi, 2001; D. meleagris (Hendel, 1933); and D. obliterat a (Fabricius, 1805)] are restricted to the Palearctic Region, 1 (Dichetophora intermedia Hendel, 1912) is restricted to the Oriental Region, and 6 are restricted to the Australian Region. During our study, we determined 2 species [D. japonica Sueyoshi, 2001 and D. meleagris (Hendel, 1933)] from China. We think that at least 3 more species will be added to this number when we have completed our examination of specimens. About 36 males and 25 females in our study were determined to be D. japonica. Before our study, Dichetophora japonica had been reported only from the Palearctic Region [Hokkaido, Honshu, Japan (Sueyoshi 2001)]. The 61 specimens that we determined include specimens not only from locations in the Palearctic Region of China such as Beijing, Ningxia, Gansu Province, and Shaanxi Province but also from locations in the Oriental Region of China such as Tibet, Sichuan Province, Chongqing, Guizhou Province, Hubei Province, and Zhejiang Province. Thus, 2 species of Dichetophora — D. intermedia and D. japonica — are now known from the Oriental Region. Rozkošný (1992) transferred Euthycera meleagris (Hendel, 1933) from Euthycera to Dichetophora as a new combination, " Dichetophora meleagris (Hendel, 1943) " [(sic); error for Hendel, 1933]. Euthycera meleagris Hendel, 1933 thus became a junior synonym of Dichetophora meleagris (Hendel, 1933). Euthycera meleagris had been recorded from China before our study. Hendel (1933) described E. meleagris on the basis of 2 males from “ Süd- Kansu ” (Gansu Province) in northwestern China. Rozkošný (1987) redescribed E. meleagris based on 1 of the 2 males of Hendel's types. The most prominent character of E. meleagris is the pattern of the wing, with numerous white spots, to which the species' name refers. In September 2017, 5 males and 16 females of Sciomyzidae, wings of which had small, round, white spots, were collected by use of Malaise traps in Mentougou, Beijing, China over a period of a few days. At first glance, the 21 specimens appeared to consist of a single species, but after careful examination we determined that they were 2 groups, representing a number of different species or even different genera. Seven females (Group 1, Figs. 51 – 52, 54, 56) belong to Euthycera, whose typical characters are 1) scutellum with 2 pairs of setae (Fig. 54), 2) ocellar setae developed (Fig. 54), and 3) hind femur in both sexes without distinct blunt ventral spines (Figs. 51 – 52). Other external characters from Hendel's (1933) description, including “ Legs yellow (Fig. 51 – 52), the white spots reaching almost directly to the edge the wing (Fig. 56), ” fit well with his original description of E. meleagris, and the external characters “ Legs yellow, costal margin of wings with 6 subquadrate pale spots (Fig. 56) ” fit well with Rozkošný's (1987) redescription of E. meleagris. Although the type specimens are not available, we can confirm that the 7 females are indeed E. meleagris Hendel, 1933. We observed that 5 males and 9 females (Group 2, Figs. 49 – 50, 53, 55) have characters that place them in the genus Dichetophora: 1) scutellum only with 1 pair of setae (Fig. 53), 2) ocellar setae undeveloped (Fig. 53), and 3) hind femur of males and females with distinct blunt ventral spines in apical 1 / 3 (Figs. 49 – 50). Besides the differences at the generic level, Group 2 differs from Group 1 in the following 2 characters: 1) legs pale in basal half and yellow in apical half (Fig. 50), and 2) apex and posterior margin of the wing paler and the white spots not reaching the edge of the wing (Fig. 55). Judging from fact that all of these specimens were collected in the same place and within a few days of each other, it is clear that 2 similar-appearing species belonging to 2 different genera truly exist. We hereby remove Euthycera meleagris Hendel, 1933 from synonymy with Dichetophora meleagris (Hendel, 1933) and resurrect Euthycera meleagris Hendel, 1933 as a valid species. The characters of the species of Dichetophora in Group 2 do not match those of any of the 4 known Palearctic species; it is as yet unknown whether it is a described species or a new species. In any instance, the species in Group 2 should be given a name other than Dichetophora meleagris, which is preoccupied and thus unavailable. If it proves to be a new species, we will name it in a paper we are preparing.	en	Li, Zhu, Yang, Ding, Murphy, William L.

03C16F31C200FFD9FF4EFBB8FA972F49.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Although Dictya is the third largest genus of Sciomyzidae, with 44 described species (Murphy et al. 2018), only 1 of them, Dictya umbrarum (Linnaeus, 1758), is known from the Palearctic Region, to which it is restricted. The other 43 species are all Nearctic or Neotropical. Before our study, Dictya had never been recorded from China. As might be expected from the distribution of the genus in the Palearctic Region, the 5 males and 1 female from Heilongjiang (in the Palearctic Region of China) in our study were determined to be D. umbrarum.	en	Li, Zhu, Yang, Ding, Murphy, William L.

Of the 7 described species, 4 are known from the Palearctic Region (2 restricted to the Palearctic Region and 2 known from both the Palearctic and Nearctic Regions), and 3 are restricted to the Nearctic Region. Before our study, Elgiva was known from China. Rozkošný & Knutson (1991) described Elgiva manchurica as a new species from China on the basis of a male from Harbin, Heilongjiang Province (Palearctic Region of China). In our study we did not find E. manchurica, but we found 2 males and 3 females, also from Heilongjiang, which belong to 2 other species, E. solicita (Harris, 1780), and E. divisa (Loew, 1845), both new to China.	en	Li, Zhu, Yang, Ding, Murphy, William L.

03C16F31C206FFDFFF4EFE40FF132C8E.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Of the 20 described species, 18 are restricted to the Palearctic Region and 2 are restricted to the Nearctic Region. As a result of our study, at least 4 species of Euthycera are known from China, of which we confirmed 2 species, Euthycera meleagris Hendel, 1933 and Euthycera sticticaria (Mayer, 1953). We have not yet determined the remaining 2 species. All specimens were collected in locations in the Palearctic Region of China such as Heilongjiang Province, Hebei Province, Beijing, Tianjin, Inner Mongolia, and Gansu Province. Before our study, Rozkošný (1987) had described Euthycera meleagris on the basis of 2 males from Gansu Province in northwest China, so it already had been recorded from China. He later (Rozkošný 1992) transferred E. meleagris to Dichetophora, but for reasons we provided in the section above on Dichetophora we are restoring meleagris to Euthycera. In addition to 7 females collected from Mentougou, Beijing, during our study we also found 4 males and 13 females from Heilongjiang Province, Hebei Province, Tianjin, Inner Mongolia, and Gansu Province. Of particular note is that 1 female that we examined had been collected in 1980 in Gansu Province, the same area in which the specimens described by Rozkošný (1987) had been collected. Species of Euthycera and Dichetophora share several external characters such as a reticulated pattern on the wings, a slender body, and similarly-shaped antennae, so some insignificant but important characters might easily be overlooked. For the differences between the 2 genera, refer to couplet 8 in the key and to the diagnoses of the 2 genera.	en	Li, Zhu, Yang, Ding, Murphy, William L.

03C16F31C21AFFC1FF4EFB32FCE82866.taxon	discussion	Remarks. All of the 4 described species are restricted to the Palearctic Region. Before our study, only 2 species of Pherbina were known from China: Pherbina intermedia Verbeke, 1948 and Pherbina testacea (Sack, 1939) (Rozkošný & Elberg 1984; Rozkošný 1987). During our study we determined 20 males and 26 females as belonging to 4 species of Pherbina. Besides P. intermedia and P. testacea, both of which had been recorded in China previously, we also determined P. coryleti and P. mediterranea from China. Most specimens were collected in the Palearctic Region of China (Heilongjiang Province, Beijing, Hebei Province, Henan Province, Shaanxi Province, Xinjiang), but 1 male and 2 females were collected in Yunnan, a typical Oriental Region area in China. Similar to Coremacera, Pherbina is another genus which was known previously only from the Palearctic Region, but now it is also known from the Oriental Region.	en	Li, Zhu, Yang, Ding, Murphy, William L.

03C16F31C218FFC1FF4EFE55FE772D3A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Comprising about 79 described species, Sepedon is the second largest genus of Sciomyzidae. Species diversity is highest in the Afrotropical Region, with 42 described species. Next highest in diversity is in the Nearctic Region, with 20 described species. Only 10 species are known from the Palearctic Region and 12 from the Oriental Region. Li & Yang (2017) reviewed the distribution of Sepedon in China, reporting that 8 species had been reported from China but overlooking Sepedon neanias Hendel, 1913 [= Hendel, 1913 a], which had also been recorded from China (Knutson 1977). The type locality of S. neanias is Taiwan, but we have not found any other specimens of this species. Among the 9 species of Sepedon known from China, 5 species (S. ferruginosa, S. lobifera, S. neanias, S. plumbella, and S. senex) are restricted to the Oriental Region of China, 1 species (S. spinipes) is restricted to the Palearctic Region of China, and 3 species (S. aenescens, S. noteoi, and S. sphegea) are found in both the Palearctic and Oriental Regions.	en	Li, Zhu, Yang, Ding, Murphy, William L.

03C16F31C218FFC7FF4EFB79FD3D2A5E.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Comprising 39 described species, Tetanocera is the fourth largest genus of Sciomyzidae. According to Rozkošný (1987) and Vala et al. (2012), 20 species are known from the Palearctic Region, 30 species are known from the Nearctic Region (with 1 species, T. plumosa, extended into the Neotropical Region), and 2 species are known from the Oriental Region. Before our study, 6 species of Tetanocera (T. arrogans, T. chosenica, P. elata, T. ferruginea, T. ignota, and T. nigrostriata) had been recorded from China (Knutson 1977; Rozkošný & Elberg 1984; Rozkošný 1987; Li, Yang & Gu 2001). The type locality of 2 species are in China: P. ignota, whose type locality is Tibet, and T. nigrostriata, whose type locality is Kunming (Yunnan Province). During our study we determined about 7 species new to China, bringing to at least 13 the number of species known from China. Although Tetanocera is found in both the Palearctic and Oriental Regions of China, most specimens of Tetanocera in our study were from the Palearctic Region of China. According to the key of Rozkošný (1987), only T. latifibula Frey, 1924 and T. punctifrons Rondani, 1868, are both characterized by having 1 preapical seta on the posterior surface of the midfemur. In our study, 49 specimens (15 males and 34 females) were found to have this character, which means that each of the specimens is most likely to be either T. latifibula or T. punctifrons. The 49 specimens were collected both from the Palearctic Region of China, including such areas as Inner Mongolia, Liaoning Province, Hebei Province, and Beijing and from the Oriental Region of China, and including such areas as Sichuan Province, Henan Province (Nanyang, Xinyang), Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province, and Zhejiang Province. Both T. latifibula and T. punctifrons have been reported only from the Palearctic Region before, so our records from the Oriental Region of China indicate that Tetanocera has a more extensive distribution than had been known.	en	Li, Zhu, Yang, Ding, Murphy, William L.
