VII. 17 [handwritten in Chinese]; (2) PARATYPE / Lispe lanceoseta Wang et Fan, 1980 [red label with broad margin, first line printed, second line handwritten]. Both in SEMCAS. Redescription. Male. Body length: 4.9 ���5.0 mm (Fig. 20 A). Head (Fig. 20 C): Eye bare, facet a little expanded on anterior margin in median part; frons broad on median part, becoming narrow anteriorly; frontal vitta, frontal triangle and frontal-orbital plate with obvious boundary; frontal vitta dark brown; frontal-orbital plate and frontal triangle with grey pollinosity; median part of frontal triangle about 0.3 times as wide as frontal-orbital plate, upper orbital setae 1, frontal setae 3 and with 1 row of short setae on outer part; parafacial bare, about as wide as postpedicel; facial ridge low, concave; antenna black, with greyish pollinosity, postpedicel slightly longer than pedicel, arista plumose, longest setula longer than width of postpedicel; face planate, without facial carina, epistoma not projecting; vibrissa absent; genal height about 1 / 10 of eye height; proboscis short, labella small; palpi big and yellow, compressed, towards apex expanded, outer surface setulose apically. Thorax: Ground color black with dense grey pollinosity; acr 0+ 1 (setula-like); presutural 4���5 rows of acrostichal setulae; dc 2 + 3 (developed); ia 0+ 2; without pra; katepisternal setae 1 + 2. Wings: hyaline; veins towards apex becoming more yellowish brown; vein R 4 + 5 parallel to M 1 + 2; calypteres white, the lower one about 2 times as long as the upper one; haltere yellowish. Legs: Black except knees yellowish brown; with grey pollinosity; fore legs short; fore femur with sparse pv in basal 2 / 3; fore tibia with 1 preapical ad, first tarsomere slightly longer than other segments of tarsis; mid femur with strong av on apical 1 / 2; mid tibia with 1 short weak ad and 1 short weak pd in apical 1 / 3, with apically willowleaf-like av and pv spines (Figs 20 B; 21 C); mid tarsi greyish yellow; hind femur with av in basal 3 / 4; hind tibia with 1 submedian ad; first hind tarsomere short, slightly swollen, with sharp apex, equal to summed length of other tarsomeres, with dense and curved bristles on the anterior dorsal margin (Figs. 1 G; 21 D). Abdomen (Fig. 20 D): Ground color black, oval; tergites 3���5 dusted with brown patches on anterolateral margin, tergite 5 with 2 lateral discal setae and 1 postmarginal seta; epandrium black with central white patches. Female. Body length 6.3���6.5 mm (Fig. 22 A). General characters as in male but differing from male in: median part of frons about 1 / 2 the head-width; frontal vitta with brownish yellow pollinosity; frontal triangle broader than male; vibrissa medium long; genal height about 1 / 7 of eye height; palpi distinctly spoon-shaped; thorax with yellow pollinosity; legs grey except knees brown; 1 / 2 basal fore tibia and 1 / 2 basal hind tabia yellow; fore femur with longer pv than male; mid tibia with 1 submedian ad and pd, without specialized spines; hind femur with 2 preapical av; hind tibia with 1 submedian ad; hind tarsi regular; abdomen without patches (Fig. 22 C). Remarks. In contrast with other species from this group, male of L. lanceoseta is distinctively special in: face and antenna short; arista short yet plumose; apex of mid tibia with willowleaf-like av and pv spines; and first hind tarsomere with a sharp and pointy apex, only anterodorsal margin covered with curved bristles. The original yet unused Chinese name of the species is ���Hequ liuying���, which is given after its type locality. Now its admitted Chinese name is ���Liuye liuying���, which stands for the willowleaf-like spines on mid tibia. Distribution. China (Shanxi).
