03858799F74D021379E400A3FE7DFC67.taxon	description	Sack, 1939 The generic concepts of Limnia, Pherbina and Psacadina are well accepted. The best keys for identifying the genera of Sciomyzidae from the Palaearctic are found in Rozkošný (1987, 1998) and, more recently, in Knutson & Vala (2011). The author tested these three commonly used keys with the type materials of L. setosa and Ph. testacea, and these types keyed out Limnia confidently. The couplets in Rozkošný (1987, 1998) and in Knutson & Vala (2011) used to discriminate Limnia from other Tetanocerini Limnia. However, setulation is variable and is not considered here as a generic character for Limnia. Sueyoshi (2001) gave a thorough overview of this variation, as did Seddighi Sadr & Mohamadzade Namin (2017) when describing Limnia kassebeeri Seddighi Sadr et Mohamadzade Namin, 2017, a species also bearing one seta on the anepisternum. Przhiboro (2016) described the setae on L. setosa as follows: “ In our specimens, some external characters differ from those given by Yano (1978: 7 – 8, 22 – 23), Rozkošný (1987: 66, 68) and Sueyoshi (2001: 498, 503; 2010: 5): anepisternum at posterior margin with 1 – 3 distinct setae varying from fine short to medium sized, anepimeron with one medium sized seta and without hairs. ” (2) Other species of Tetanocerini with reticulated wings known from the Palaearctic (besides Limnia, Pherbina and Psacadina) can be differentiated by use of the keys in Rozkošný (1987, 1998) and, more recently, in Knutson & Vala (2011). When all of these characters are considered, the resurrection of L. testacea is doubtless the proper action to take.	en	Mortelmans, J.

03858799F74A021379EB0132FC93FDCA.taxon	description	When trying to associate the male specimen from NRM with either L. setosa or L. testacea, it has become clear that both the species are extremely similar. The keys, descriptions and redescriptions indicated extreme similarity between L. setosa and Ph. testacea. Moreover, the published drawings of the male terminalia of both the species are extremely similar as well and do not aid researchers in discriminating between the two species. Because of the morphological similarities of the males described above, I compared external characters of the female type specimens. It was determined that the type specimens of both L. setosa and Ph. testacea are without any doubt conspecific. The types of both the species are depicted in Figs 2 – 6, and the characters are summarised in Table 1.	en	Mortelmans, J.
