The genus Drymeia Meigen in the Caucasus Mountains, with a note on the identity of Aspilia glacialis Rondani, 1866 (Diptera: Muscidae) Pont, Adrian C. Zootaxa 2022 2022-05-11 5134 3 355 382 9J2PC Pont, 2022 Pont 2022 [151,379,1482,1509] Insecta Muscidae Drymeia Animalia Diptera 20 375 Arthropoda species sororcula sp. nov.   Figs 31–37   Diagnosis.This species is close to  D. brumalis( Rondani, 1866)which also has 3 postsutural dorsocentrals. However, the male of  D. brumalishas frontal vitta equal to diameter of anterior ocellus; mid and hind femora with the anteroventral and posteroventral setae longer, denser and more numerous; hind tibia with the anteroventral (and anterior) and posteroventral setae more numerous and dense (only 3–4 posteroventrals and 3 anteroventrals in  D. sororcula). Both sexes of  D. brumalislack the ventral scutellar setulae of  D. sororcula.   Etymology.The specific name “  sororcula” is Latin and means “little sister”. This reflects the close similarity between this species and  D. brumalis(Rondani).  Type-material Examined.  Holotype ♂. GEORGIA: Mtskheta-Mtianeti region: Mt Kuro[~ 42°39’N 44°39’E], heath,  2330 m.  29.vi.1983, A.C.
