Abstract: | Contributions to the knowledge of Sciarid flies of Taiwan. Part I: Genus Scatopsciara EDWARDS, 1927 (Diptera Nematocera: Sciaridae). - Six new Scatopsciara-species are described from Taiwan: Scatopsciara (s. str.) amplituda sp. nov., Scatopsciara (s. str.) glorificata sp. nov., Scatopsciara (s. str.) necopinata sp. nov;, Scatopsciara (s. str.) philosopha sp. nov., Scatopsciara (s. str.) suprema sp. nov. and Scatopsciara {Xenopygina) dispositata sp. nov. Illustrations of the most important morphological characters and a discussion of the systematic position is given for each species. Three well known Palaearctic species are recorded from Taiwan for the first time: Scatopsciara (s. str.) aberrantia MOHRIG & MAMAEV, 1983, Scatopsciara (s. str.) atomaria (ZETTERSTEDT, 1851) and Scatopsciara (s. str.) postgeophila MOHRIG & MENZEL, 1992. A detailed redescription of Scatopsciara aberrantia is given and a new species-group within the subgenus Scatopsciara (s. str.) is founded on the character of the clearly toothed tarsal claws. In addition a revised check-list for the Sciarid fauna of Taiwan is compiled which reflects the current state of knowledge. |
