Abstract:

Contributions to the knowledge of Sciarid flies of Taiwan. Part III: Genera Xylosciara TUOMIKOSKI, 1957 and Zygonema MEIGEN, 1830 (Diptera Nematocera: Sciaridae). Xylosciara (Protoxylosciara) sensillata sp. nov. and Zygoneura (Pharetratula) transferata sp. nov. are described in this third part of the taxonomic study of the Sciaridae of Taiwan. In both cases the new species are the first members of their genera for the oriental fauna. The most important morphological characters are illustrated and a discussion of the systematic position is given for each species.
