Metadrinomyia argentea Shima (Fig. 2 K)

Metadrinomyia argentea Shima, 1980: 263 .

Diagnosis. This species is similar to M. xanthokolos by sharing the silvery pruinosity, but can be easily distinguished by the dark brown legs. We were able to compare the holotypes of M. xanthokolos and M. argentea when HYH visited BLKU (Fig. 2 K).

Description. See Shima (1980).

Material examined. Holotype female: NEPAL, Chiliwa (1350m) 27˚29'N, 87˚47'E - Shibuku (2100m) 27˚30'N, 87˚41'E, 7.VI.1972, H. Shima (BLKU).
