Sciara bryophila sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: DD54A2D5-89FC-448C-914A-95FF4F6FAF52 Figs 3–4 Sciara sp. n. – Salmela & Vilkamaa 2005: 288, 290 (part of Finnish material). Sciara sp. A – Salmela et al. 2015: 65, 88 (part of Finnish material). Diagnosis Wing length 2.2–2.7 mm, anal lobe strong. Gonostylus with a strong, densely setose subapical lobe. Setose medial lobe is smaller than the subapical lobe, with (2–4) megasetae, or none. Apical megasetae (5–9) of gonostylus rather short. Tegmen long and conical, apically divided. Aedeagal teeth in a long and narrow area, numerous and evenly short. Etymology The name, a Latin adjective, is derived from the Latinized Greek words ʻ bryon ʼ (ʻmossʼ) and ʻ philo ʼ (ʻlovingʼ), referring to the mossy habitat of the species.
