Liancalus similis Aldrich, 1893 View in CoL Figs 2E, 3G, 6B, 9, 12B, 15B, 16E

Diagnosis.

Males are easily distinguished by having the apical third of wing mostly brown and with a slightly raised, black speck near middle of cell m (Fig. 6B). Female wing has three distinct brown spots, one of which intersects M1 beyond crossvein dm-cu, and with crossvein dm-cu meeting M1 at nearly 90° angle (Fig. 16E).

Redescription.

Male. Body length 6.5-8.0 mm, wing length 6.0-7.5 mm. Habitus (Fig. 9). Head: Face rather narrow, nearly parallel-sided, slightly widening toward clypeus, uniformly covered with dense silver pollen. Ommatidia near vertex slightly smaller than remaining ommatidia. Vertex covered with dense silver pollen, often with some metallic blue-green color visible near middle. Vertical setae on small elevation; ocellar tubercle prominent with 2 large setae (subequal in size to vertical setae); with 2 postocellar setae which are two-thirds length ocellar setae; postocular setae approximately one-third size of vertical setae with dorsal one-third of postocular setae black (approximately 10 black setae), ventral two-thirds white (approximately 12 setae) and more slender and slightly longer than black postocular setae. Ventral postcranial hairs (beard) rather sparse, wholly white. Palpus black, covered with dense silver pollen and sparse white hairs. Antenna black, first flagellomere about as long as wide, broadly pointed apically, arista inserted near midpoint of dorsal edge.

Thorax: Scutum blue-green obscured with dense silver-gray pollen, with bronze stripes between acrostichal and dorsocentral setae, and along intra-alar setae; scutellum and posterior slope of scutum green-blue with sparse gray or brown pollen; notopleuron and postpronotum (humerus) covered with dense silver pollen, usually with some blue-green reflections; usually 6 dorsocentral setae; 2-6 short acrostichal setae (≤ 1/2 length of dorsocentral setae), in a single row; 2 notopleural setae; postpronotum with 1-2 strong, black setae and often a few smaller white hairs; 2 presutural intra-alar se tae (one near suture); 1 presutural and 2 postsutural supra-alar setae; 1 postalar seta; scutellum with 6 large marginal setae (3 per side), no additional hairs; proepisternum with 1 dorsal and 1 ventral tuft of white hairs. Pleura metallic green-bronze, covered with dense silver-gray pollen, without setae or hairs.

Legs: Legs concolorous with pleura, but with less silver-gray pollen. Coxa I uniformly covered with white hairs on anterior surface (length of hairs subequal to width of coxa I); with a few black, slender setae at apex. Coxa II with a few white hairs anteriorly, a couple white setae near apex, and a black ad seta just beyond 1/2. Coxa III with a few white hairs and a black dorsal seta near 1/2. Femur I and II with some short, white hairs ventrally at base (length <half width of femur). Femur III with white hairs (length ≤ width of femur) on dorsal and posterior surface at base. Tarsus I(1) short, approximately one-quarter length of tarsus I(2) (Fig. 3G); tarsus I(2) long, flattened ventrally with dense row of red-brown av setulae full-length and slightly longer row of pv setae/setulae. Ratios of tibia:tarsomeres for leg I: 14-2-8-3-3-3; for leg II: 29-20-11-3-2-2; for leg III: 33-14-15-4-2-2.

Wing (Fig. 6B): Hyaline, with extensive brown clouding on most of apical half; cell m (beyond crossvein bm-cu) with a minute, raised, black speck near middle - the area surrounding this speck usually lacks brown clouding. Veins R4+5 and M1 widely separated and parallel to slightly diverging at apex of wing. Wing broadly and rather evenly rounded apically, without outstanding hairs or setae. Calypter yellow with a fan of long, pale yellow setae at apex. Halter pale yellow.

Abdomen: Cylindrical, elongate (Fig. 2E); T1 metallic blue-green, with dense silver pollen laterally, sparser pollen dorsally and often with diffuse narrow bronze stripe. T2-T4 with large lateral blue-green spots covered with dense silver pollen, with apical one-third to one-half bronze, narrowly bronze dorsally. T5 dark bronze with metallic green reflections and sparse silver pollen. T6 bronze with some blue-green reflections and with dense silver pollen. T1-T3 with white hair laterally, longest on T1 and T2. Sternites bronze with dense silver-gray pollen on S1 and S2, sparser pollen apically. S1 bare except for lateral small tuft of white hairs at extreme base. S2 and S3 with sparse white hairs. S4 mostly bare. Hypopygium (Fig. 12B): cerci broad basally with very short slender, cylindrical lobe (subequal in length to first flagellomere of antenna), with small white hairs.

Female. Body length 5.0-7.5 mm, wing length 5.5-7.0 mm. Similar to male except for face wider, dark blue-green covered with moderate golden-brown pollen; palpus dark brown-black with sparse golden-brown pollen and black setae. Femur II with row of short (length less than half width of femur) hairs full-length posteriorly to pv, those on basal half white, those on apical half black. Tarsus I(1) normal, distinctly longer than tarsus I(2). Wing (Fig. 16E) hyaline, with three distinct brown spots: one between R4+5 and M1 just beyond midpoint of wing, one near apex of cell bm+dm and just crossing crossvein dm-cu, and a spot on M1 beyond crossvein dm-cu. Cell m without black speck near middle. Crossvein dm-cu meeting M1 at nearly 90°.

Remarks.

Aldrich (1893) states the type specimens are from "Washington (state)" and described Liancalus similis from one male and two females, and noted that "the wings of one [female] specimen have more brown, which takes the form of three well defined spots, but this is evidently variable". The female specimen with three well defined spots is Liancalus similis , but the other female is a specimen of Liancalus limbatus which co-occurs with Liancalus similis in Washington State.

This species is common at Palisade Falls in Gallatin County, Montana where the senior author (JBR) has observed females feeding (Suppl. material 1) and males interacting (Suppl. materials 2-3). Suppl. material 3 shows the typical looping flight of Liancalus species.

The immature stages of Liancalus similis were described by Corpus (1986). Mouthparts of Liancalus similis were described and illustrated by Cregan (1941).

Distribution.

This species is common from southern California north through the Cascades and east to the Northern Rockies, but generally absent from the Great Basin (Fig. 15B).
