Abstract

Abstract. Lepidomystix gen. nov. weigeli sp. nov. is described from the foothills of Himalaya in India and Nepal. The taxon is characterised by striking scales on the dorsal and ventral side, by very short antennae and widely broadened tarsi of all legs (perhaps only in males). The new taxon is assigned to the subfamily Stenochiinae and is compared with the genus Stenochinus Motschulsky, 1860, tribe Cnodalonini. However, it remains doubtful if Lepidomysticus gen. nov. belongs to the same tribe, because characters of the female genitalia (ovipositor, spermatheca) are not available. The species is known for a limited number of specimens, suggesting a peculiar or cryptic lifestyle.

来自印度和尼泊尔喜马拉雅山麓的鳞翅目昆虫gen. 11 . Weigeli sp. 11 .(鞘翅目:拟甲科:拟甲科

摘要鳞翅目蝇(Lepidomystix gen. 11 . weigeli sp. 11 .)产于印度和尼泊尔的喜马拉雅山麓。该分类群的特点是背部和腹部有明显的鳞片，触角很短，所有腿的跗骨都很宽(可能只有雄性)。将该新分类单元归属于窄足足亚科，并与1860年的窄足足足属(striochinus Motschulsky)进行比较。然而，由于无法获得雌性生殖器官(产卵器、精子)的特征，因此是否属于同一部落尚存疑问。该物种以数量有限的标本而闻名，这表明它有一种奇特或神秘的生活方式。
