VIETNAM, Lai Chau Prov.: Hoang Lien NP , 22.348 ° N, 103.770 ° E, 1900 m, 22.05.2014, A. Ozerov, 1♂;Sa Pa env., 22.321 ° N, 103.856 ° E, 1400 m, 19– 29.03.2019, N. Vikhrev, 1♂ (both ZMUM) GoogleMaps .
REMARKS. These two males have the femora entirelly dark; the palpi and antenna are also dark as it is typical for fresh specimens of M. angustifrons , basicosta black. On the other hand, the male frontal vitta is as wide as in M. stabulans . In addition, the lateral sides of scutellum are hairless, this character was never found in other Muscina . The cosmopolitan M. stabulans has the same phenotype from Polar regions to the southern hemisphere. So, there are two possible interpretations of our specimens: (1) it is a variability of M. angustifrons at the southern limit of the natural habitat of the species or (2) the specimens may result from crossbreading between M. angustifrons and M. stabulans .
