| Summary: | The new species Rhipidia (Rhipidia) chukotica sp. n. (Diptera: Limoniidae) is described and illustrated based on the male and female imago from the north-west of Chukotka, Russian Far East. This new species is closest to the East Palaearctic Rhipidia (Rhipidia) reductispina Savchenko, 1983; both species have long male’s antennae with ten bipectinate flagellomeres. Rhipidia (Rh.) chukotica sp. n. differs from Rh. (Rh.) reductispina by the uniformly coloured dark brown or black-brown thorax with prescutum and thoracic pleuron without noticeable longitudinal stripes, as well as by the colouration of legs, the abdomen and the hypopygium. Besides, Rh. (Rh.) chukotica sp. n. differs from Rh. (Rh.) reductispina by the presence of long setae-like rostral spines on the rostral prolongation of the ventral gonostylus, and by the smaller size and usual pubescence of the inner lobe of the ventromesal protrusion of the gonocoxites.Diagnosis of Rh. (Rh.) chukotica sp. n. Dark brown, relatively large species. The male ... : ZooBank Article LSID: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:A5727997-58D2-4B82-A270-01EBF984F687 ... |
