31. Lispe nicobarensis Schiner View in CoL

Lispe nicobarensis Schiner, 1868: 297 View in CoL . Holotype female, Tellnschong, Nicobar Is, in NMV (seen).

Lispe binotata Becker, 1914: 81 View in CoL . Syntypes males and females, many localities on Taiwan, DEI, SMT, ZMHU, BMNH, NRS, USNM ( Pont & Werner, 2006: 28). syn. nov.

Lispe binotata View in CoL ; Shinonaga et al., 1991: 332–333.

Diagnosis. Body length 4.0–4.5 mm; general colour shining black; frons brown, contrasting with the silvery pollinose parafacial and gena; palpus yellowish-brown, spoon-shaped; postpedicel about twice as long as pedicel; presutural dorsocentral seta 1; wing clear; halter yellow; legs with tarsi dark brown; fore femur with 1 or 2 posteroventral setae near apex; mid femur thinner on posterior half; hind tibia without posterodorsal seta; abdomen almost entirely brown, with small lateral silvery-grey areas.

Material examined: NSMT. New Caledonia: Thio : 50 km E of Nouméa, 18.ii.1978, 1 ♀, S. Shinonaga .

BPBM. New Caledonia: 4 km NNE Col de Kuenthio ( Col de Nassirah ): Rte 4 at Koua R., 150–200 m, 22.ix.1979, 1 ♀, W. C. Gagné, G.M. Nishida, G.A. Samuelson. Col d’Amieu : 750 m, 3.iii.1960, 1 ♀, J.L. Gressitt .

Comments. First recorded from Thio by Shinonaga et al. (1991) and known from New Caledonia only from the three females listed above. Xue & Zhang (2005) keyed the species together with 41 other species recorded from China. The type-material of both nicobarensis Schiner and binotata Becker has been studied by ACP, and the two names have been found to be synonyms.

Distribution. Australia, New Caledonia ( New Caledonia); Oriental Region.
