5. Sciomyza Fallén, 1820 (New record)

( Figs. 6, 39–40, 68)

Sciomyza Fallén, 1820: 11 . Type species: Sciomyza simplex Fallén, 1820 (by designation of Westwood, 1840).

Diplectria Enderlein, 1939: 203 . Type species: Bischofia lucida Hendel, 1902 (original designation). 9. Ilione turcestanica ( Hendel, 1903) , wing.

10. Coremacera sp., antenna.

11. Dichetophora japonica Sueyoshi, 2001 , lateral view of scutellum.

12. Dichetophora japonica Sueyoshi, 2001 , frons.

13. Dichetophora sp., dorsolateral view of head.

14. Dichetophora japonica Sueyoshi, 2001 , hind leg.

15. Chasmacryptum seriatimpunctatum Becker, 1907 , frons.

16. Dictya umbrarum ( Linnaeus, 1758) , frons.

Abbreviations: ap sctl s = apical scutellar setae; ar = arista; av = anterior crossvein (r-m); b sctl s = basal scutellar setae; h fm = hind femur; oc s = ocellar setae; oc tr = ocellar triangle; p orb s = posterior orbital seta; pped = postpedicel; pv = posterior crossvein (dm-cu).

Diagnosis. Medium-sized to relatively large species characterized by 2 preapical setae on the foretibia. Always 2 orbital setae present. Frons partly or entirely shining. Antennal arista with long black hairs. Prosternum with setulae. Propleural seta strong. Wing hyaline without spots.

Remarks. Of the 6 described species, 4 are Palearctic and 2 are Nearctic.

Before our study, Sciomyza had never been recorded from China. We determined 1 female from Menyuan County, Qinghai Province, in northwestern China, in the Palearctic Region. By use of the key in Rozkošný (1987), we determined it to be Sciomyza dryomyzina Zetterstedt, 1846 . This is the first record of Sciomyza from China.

Specimen examined. 1♀, CHINA, Qinghai, Menyuan County, 1990. VII. 21, collectors unknown ( IZCAS) .
