tionship. Recently two more species-groups of Lispe were proposed and considered: L. leucospila group [Vikhrev, 2011a] and L. pygmaea group [Vikhrev, 2012]. Four new species of Lispe from different regions are described in this paper: L. asetopleura sp.n. ( Ethiopia and Cameroon), L. freidbergi sp.n. ( Near East), L. hennigi sp.n. (Thailand), L. kozlovi sp.n. (Russia, S Siberia and Kazakhstan). The four described species are not closely related to each others and have only few known related species each, but two new species-groups are proposed in this paper: L. nivalis group and L. rigida group. The taxonomy of more than 10 species of Lispe is considered and I hope that this paper will clarify at least a small part of the large genus Lispe.

Material and methods
The majority of the specimens studied are in the Zoological Museum of Moscow University, in this case not indicated in text. Other collections are abbreviated as follows: ISEA Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, Novosibirsk; TAUI Tel-Aviv University, Israel; ZIN Zooligical Institute, St.-Petersburg. Localities (where possible) are given in a form: country, administrative region, geographical coordinates, the latter are given in the Decimal Degrees format. Abbreviations. In the collector names N.Vikhrev is abbreviated as NV. The following generally accepted abbreviations for morphological structures are used: f1, t1, f2, t2, f3, t3 = fore-, mid-, hind- femur or tibia; ac = acrostichal setae; dc = dorsocentral setae; a, p, d, v =

Introduction
My estimation is that there are 200 or slightly less species of Lispe Latreille worldwide, mainly from warm regions of the Old World. The Holarctic species of Lispe were divided by Hennig [1960] into 6 species groups: L. tentaculata group, L. palposa group, L. uliginosa group, L. caesia group, L. longicollis group, L. scalaris group and several species with unclear rela-

Female differs from male as follows: body size 4 4.5 mm; whitish spot on anterior part of scutum more distinct; t3 blackish, abdomen ovate. DIAGNOSIS. Lispe asetopleura sp.n. is obviously related to Lispe kowarzi Becker, 1903, detailed differences are given in the identification keys below (see Remarks). ETYMOLOGY. The name indicates that characteristic Lispe-setulae on anepimeron (= pteropleura) are entirely absent in this species. DISTRIBUTION. So far known from Ethiopia and Cameroon.

anterior, posterior, dorsal, ventral seta(e); prst presutural, post postsutural. The abbreviation for the tarsi as tar followed by a pair of digits separated by a hyphen was proposed by Vikhrev [2011b]: the first digit (1 to 3) gives the leg number and the second digit (1 to 5) the number of the tarsal segment. For example, tar14 = 4th segment of fore tarsus; tar31 = hind basitarsus.

DESCRIPTION. Male, body length 3.54.0 mm. Head. Frons 0.4 of head width, distinctly narrowed at anterior quarter. Fronto-orbital plates glossy-black in posterior third, math black in middle third, whitish dusted in anterior third; interfrontalia matt black; frontal triangle wide, glossy-black. Fronto-orbital plates with 2 pairs of inclinate, 1 pair of reclinate setae and with an outer row of fine setulae. Parafacials whitish dusted, narrow, with a row of setulae. Cheeks whitish dusted, 1.5 times as wide as antenna width. Occiput grey dusted, with a pair of large glossy-black spots in upper half. Antenna black, unusually long (almost equal to distance to mouthmargin), aristal hairs longer than antenna width. Vibrissae strong, palpi yellow. Thorax black, lower pleura thinly grey dusted, upper pleura, scutellum and disc of scutum glossy black excluding a small and not very distinct whitish dusted spot at level of humeral calli. Thoracic setae weak: prst ac in 34 rows; dc 0+1; postpronotal 1 weak; intraalars absent; supraalars 1+1, the presutural one weak; notopleural 2, posterior seta 2 times shorter than anterior one; katepisternal setae 1:1:1, arranged in equilateral triangle; meron bare. Anepimeron bare: Lispe setulae entirely absent. Wing distinctly blackish, vein M straight, calypters whitish, halter black. Legs mostly black with whitish dusting, but fore tarsus from apex of tar11 to tar15 yellow; t2 and mid tarsus yellow (except brownish tar25); t3 and hind tarsus dirty yellow (except blackish tar35). f1 with pd row and 34 short pv at apex; t1 compressed laterally, with strong pv seta; f2 with short submedian a, with 1 apical and 1 preapical pd setae; t2 with strong ad and pd; f3 with a short ad row; t3 with av, ad and pd setae. Pulvilli small. Abdomen glossy black with small white lateral spots on anterior margin of tergites 3 to 5. Sternite 5

DISTRIBUTION. Widespread in S Palaearctica and Oriental region. REMARKS. L. kowarzi is distributed throughout a wide area from N-W Africa in the West to Indonesia in the East. All examined specimens have anepimeron with 13 setulae above the posterior katepisternal seta, though these setulae are not easily visible against the background of the black pleura. All examined males have the ventral setae on posterior femora always present and strong: f2 with 34 long ventral setae on the basal half, f3 with 2 pv setae, in basal the half and beyond middle. So, L. kowarzi is always reliably differs from the related Afrotropical L. asetopleura sp.n. But the intraspecific variability of L. kowarzi is significant and obviously correlates with geography, so that the species may be divided into two subspecies: the Western one, L. kowarzi kowarzi Becker, 1903 and the Eastern one, L. kowarzi pallitarsis Stein, 1909. L. kowarzi kowarzi is represented by specimens collected in N. India, Pakistan (as L. pakistanensis [Shinonaga, Afzal, 1989]), Turkey, Israel, Morocco

and Senegal: dc 1+3 (1+2), only anterior postsutural pair is weak (Fig. 7); katepisternals 1:1:1 all strong; abdomen without white spots (in males rather indistinct spots on tergite 4 is sometimes present); all setae on head, thorax and legs stronger. L. kowarzi pallitarsis is represented by specimens collected in Thailand, Cambodia and Malaysian Borneo: dc reduced to 0+1 (or 0+2, in this case the anterior pair is very weak); anterior katepisternal reduced or hair-like if present, lower katepisternal usually hair-like; abdomen with whitish spots in both sexes; all setae on head, thorax and legs weaker. The scanty material from S. India and Myanmar seems has intermediate characters. Palpi in both subspecies are usually blackish, but may be dirty-yellowish. Male terminalia of 6 specimens were examined, those of L. kowarzi kowarzi and L. kowarzi pallitarsis look similar (Figs 5, 6) and similar to drawings given by Hennig [1960: textfig. 121 and plate XX, fig. 400]. So far I prefer to treat L. kowarzi kowarzi and L. kowarzi pallitarsis as subspecies of L. kowarzi Becker, 1903. Both subspecies of L. kowarzi may be distinquished from L. asetopleura sp.n. as follows:
Anepimeron bare: Lispe setulae entirely absent; t2 yellow or dirty yellow in female. : f2 and f3 without ventral setae; cercal plate deeply divided (Fig. 3); sternite 5 smaller, subtriangular in shape (Fig. 2). : scutum with whitish dusted spot anteriorly; palpi yellow .................. ............................................................. asetopleura sp.n. Anepimeron with 13 setulae above posterior katepisternal seta; t2 dark, at most translucent reddish. : f2 with 34 long ventral setae on basal half, f3 with 2 pv setae, in

basal half and beyond middle; cercal plate divided on very apex only (Figs 56); sternite 5 bigger, subquadrate in shape (Fig. 4). : scutum entirely glossy black, palpi black to dirty-yellowish ........................ kowarzi Becker

It is much easier to distinguish females of L. asetopleura sp.n. from females of the L. kowarzi kowarzi distributed in North Africa and Western Asia, the regions adjacent to Sub-Saharan Africa from where L. asetopleura sp.n. is known. In addition to the characters given above:
0+1 strong dc; abdomen with distinct white lateral spots on anterior margin of tergites 3 to 5 ............................... .......................................................... asetopleura sp.n. 1+2 strong dc; abdomen evenly black, without white spots .............................................. kowarzi kowarzi Becker

SYNONYMY. Lispe pakistanensis Shinonaga & Afzal, 1989 belongs to the L. kowarzi kowarzi which has 1+2 dc and the abdomen entirely black, its description fits L. kowarzi. Diagnosis (Remarks) metallic black body and very long 3rd antennal segment [Shinonaga & Afzal, 1989: 92] also fits L. kowarzi. So, Lispe kowarzi Becker, 1903 = Lispe pakistanensis Shinonaga & Afzal, 1989, syn.n.

DESCRIPTION. Male, body length 66.5 mm. Head densely whitish dusted. Fronto-orbital plates densely whitish to yellow-whitish dusted, with 4 inclinate and 2 reclinate setae and an outer row of setulae. Interfrontalia blackish, frontal triangle rather indistinct, subshining black, narrow in anterior half. Face and parafacials yellowish, cheeks whitish, occiput whitishgrey dusted. Antenna: pedicel yellow(ish); postpedicel black; arista long plumose in basal part, the longest hairs twice as long as antenna width. Vibrissae strong. Palpi yellow, remarkably enlarged, about as long and wide as length of antenna. Thorax. Pleura densely grey dusted, scutum brownish-grey dusted with 3 narrow black vittae: median one and 2 submedian along dorsocentrals. Thoracic setae: dc 2+3, pstr ac hairs in 4 rows, postpronotal 2, intraalars 1+2, supraalars 1+1. Katepisternals 1:2, anepimeron with 5 setulae, meron bare. Wings hyaline, with yellowish veins, the vein M not curved. Legs colour: femora black densely grey dusted, knees and tibiae yellow, tarsi black on dorsal surface and yellow on ventral surface. f1 with complete rows of 8 pd and 1213 pv setae. t1 without setae except preapicals. f2 ventrally with 2 complete av and pv rows of

short but strong spine-like setae and with 1 pd preapical. t2 with 1 submedian p seta. f3 with 2 rows of av and pv spine-like setae, these setae are twice longer than the similar setae on f2 and look somewhat irregulary placed, 2 setae in av row beyond middle are much longer than others, at least as long as femur width. t3 with submedian ad and pd. Hind coxa bare on inner posterior surface. Pulvilli of all legs large, as long as length of last tarsomer. Abdomen densely grey dusted, tergites 3 to 5 with paired L-shaped more or less fused spots, the pattern is more distinct on tergite 4, more vague on tergite 3. Dorsal setulae on tergites 6 and 5 elongated. Sternite 5 Fig. 10; cercal plate Fig. 9. Female differs from male as follows: f2 and f3 without ventral rows of spine-like setae (though some females have on f3 2 av setae beyond middle more or less elongated). DIAGNOSIS. The main diagnostic characters of L. freidbergi sp.n. are: unusually large palpi; pedicel yellowish; arista long plumose; body densely grey dusted; all tibiae entirely yellow; t1 without setae, t2 with 1 pd, t3 with 1 ad and 1 pd; posterior femora without strong setae in female; posterior femora with 2 rows of ventral spine-like setae in male; structure of male genitalia. L. freidbergi sp.n. is probably related to L. nana Macquart, 1835 and recently described L. emdeni Vikhrev, 2012. These species share the following characters: large palpi; the yellow(ish) colour of tibiae; the tibial chaetotaxy; the general abdominal pattern (the abdominal pattern of L. emdeni is very similar to that of L. freidbergi sp.n.); the general shape of cercal

plates. Lispe flavipes Stein, 1913 described from 2 females collected i n South Africa, Willowmore (H+33.29œS 23.49œE) [Stein, 1913], the dry area situated on about 850 m asl, seems to be another related species. These two species share the following characters: a yellow pedicel; at least the tibiae is yellow; the absence of ventral setae on f2 and f3 in females; the general abdominal pattern. Pont [1991] reported the female of undeterminated Lispe sp., collected in Saudi Arabia, Riaydh env. (again hilly desert) and related to L. flavipes. Both L. flavipes and Lispe sp. from Riaydh differ from L. freidbergi at least by the mostly yellow femora and absence of av seta on t3. Males of L. freidbergi sp.n. have two rows of ventral spines on the posterior femora, females have all the femora ventrally bare. The ventral femoral spines are also present in most species of the Lispe caesia species group, but in this group the ventral spines are more developed in female sex and present on the fore femur, too. Species of the Lispe caesia group are active hunters on adult Diptera and they use ventral spines for capturing prey, in this case both sexes need the armed femora, including the fore femur. Thus, ventral spines of L. freidbergi sp.n. are probably used only for holding of female by a male. ETYMOLOGY. The new species is named in honour of Dr. Amnon Freidberg (TAUI). DISTRIBUTION. So far known from Egypt (Sinai) and Israel (Negev).

3. Lispe hennigi sp.n. and taxonomic notes on Lispe nivalis group
Lispe nivalis species-group Four species listed below, L. bivittata, L. nivalis, L. subbivittata and L. hennigi sp.n. form the well defined Lispe nivalis species-group. This group is related to Hennigs [1960] Lispe tentaculata group, both groups sharing the following characters: arista long plumose; vibrissae strong; t1 without p seta; t2 with 1 p seta only; t3 with strong ad and weak pd, without av; scutellum usually with hairs at apex below (in Lispe tentaculata group these hairs present in L. tentaculata (De Geer, 1776) and L. draperi Séguy, 1933); meron with hairs above hind coxa; fresh water habitats. The L. nivalis group differs from the L. tentaculata group as follows:
disc of scutum mostly shining black, with only thin dusting; strong dorsocentral setae reduced to 0+2; sternite 5 membranose, reduced to a pair of small sclerites with weak sclerotization (Fig. 18); cercal plate small, of pincers-like shape (Fig.1417) ............ L. nivalis group disc of scutum with dense dusting; dorsocentral setae not reduced, 2+4, 2+3 or 1+4; sternite 5 not reduced, with strong sclerotization; cercal plate bigger, not of pincerslike shape ...................................... L. tentaculata group

TAXONOMIC NOTES ON L. bivittata AND L. subbivittata. It is clear from the identification key given below that Lispe bivittata Stein, 1909 and Lispe subbivittata Mou, 1992 may be reliably distinguished in both sexes. In Xue & Zhang [2005] females with strong submedian av seta on f3 were correctly associated with males of L. subbivittata with about 20 longer av to ad setulae on apical half of t3; females without median av on f3 were associated to males of L. bivittata with only 56 shorter ad setulae on apical half of t3; that is the only source with correct main diagnostic characters for these two species I know. L. bivittata (as well as L. nigrifacies Becker, 1914 and L. haha Snyder, 1965) was described from South-East Asia, all my specimens from Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand (from North to South) and Vietnam also exclusively belong to L. bivittata. In North India (Uttarakhand) both species are present; but in the winter season only L. subbivittata was recorded from West India (Rajasthan). L. subbivittata was desribed from North-East China and according to Pont [1991] is present in Near East: recorded from Iran, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Sokotra, Egypt and Sudan (as L. bivittata with av on f3 in female). The only female specimen from Ethiopia entirely fits L. subbivittata. Hennig [1960: 421] seems to have considered L. bivittata and L. subbivittata as the same species: in his redescription of L. bivittata the male type had only 5 ad setulae on t3 below the strong ad, that fits L. bivittata; but female has strong submedian av on f3. It is not clear from Hennig [1960] which female specimens were examined. There is a taxonomic problem with Lispe ochracea Becker, 1910 which was described from a single female from Sokotra. According to Beckers [1910] original description, the female type has f3 with strong median av seta, so it is possible that L. ochracea is not a synonym of L. bivittata, but L. subbivittata is a synonym of L. ochracea. In 2011 I asked Dr. T. Galinskaya who visited Naturhistorisches Museum, Veinna to look for the type of L. ochracea but the type was not found. Without examination of the type I am not ready to call in question the generally accepted synonymy of L. ochracea to L. bivittata. For this reason the name Lispe subbivittata Mou, 1992 is used in this paper, though Im not sure that it is the oldest name.

4. Lispe kozlovi sp.n. and taxonomic notes on Lispe rigida group Lispe rigida species-group In my opinion, the three species listed below, L. brunnicosa, L. rigida and L. kozlovi sp.n. form the Lispe rigida species-group. This group is related to Hennigs [1960] Lispe palposa group, both groups sharing the following characters: dc 2+3; t2 with 1 ad and 1 pd setae; t3 with strong ad, without av in both sexes, saltish to salted water. The L. rigida group differs from the L. palposa group as follows:
vibrissae long; palpi small and pure yellow; thoracic setae long; body less dusted; : apex of abdomen somewhat laterally flattened and dorsally pointed, evenly black, without whitish midspot (Fig. 19, 20); halves of cercal plate not conjoined with each other at all, cercal plate about equally wide all along except the very apex (Figs 25, 28, 31); : preapical d on t3 almost as long as tar31 ................................................................ L. rigida group vibrissae absent to medium strong; palpi bigger and dark or yellow, in latter case dirty-yellow; thoracic setae shorter; body less dusted; : apex of abdomen not flattened and not pointed, black, with a whitish midspot; halves of cercal plate conjoined with each other in basal half, cercal plate with wide basal half and narrow apical half; : preapical d on t3 at most half as long as tar31 ............................................................. L. palposa group




Four new species of Lispe Latreille, 1796 L. brunnicosa and L. kozlovi sp.n are obviously related species, L. rigida is distinctly the most deviant. L. rigida has the most southern distribution, specimens were collected from 27œN to 38.5œN, L. brunnicosa was collected between 46.8œN to 48.5œN (except type series from 32œN, but in this case from about 3500 m asl), L. kozlovi sp.n. is the northernmost species which was collected from 51.2œN to 54.9œN. Lispe brunnicosa Becker, 1904 Figs. 19, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27.
Lispe brunnicosa Becker, 1904 Type locality: China, Sichuan prov., about 32.0œN, 99.5œE (see Notes on type locality). Lispe diminuata Becker, 1913 ((Hennig, 1960, Textfig. 99, 148). Type locality: Pamir Mountains. (The Pamir Mountains are a mountain range in Central Asia, mostly in Gorno-Badakhshan region of Tajikistan and Badakhshan region of Afghanistan, but also in NW Pakistan, S-E Kyrgyzstan and extreme West of China, so the type locality of L. diminuata is uncertain.) MATERIAL EXAMINED. Holotype, (ZIN). The holotype of L. brunnicosa is in a good condition. The holotype has the label in Russia transliterated as: r. Dza-chu, 11000 / Kam, bas. Goluboy / Kozlov, ser. IV 01" (Fig. ), that means Dza-chu r[iver], 11000 [feet asl], Kham, Golubaya [river] bas[in], Kozlov [leg.], mid April [19]01 = China, Sichuan prov., H32.0œN 99.5œE.

in the upper Yalong River basin or to the upper Yalong itself; however this name is not mentioned for the Yalong in Kozlov [1947]. The Sanka village would be best approximation of the place implied by the label but we failed to find it on the modern maps. The type locality of L. brunnicosa may be accepted as the upper Yalong basin roughly at 32.0œN 99.5œE in the eastern edge of the Tibet-Quinghai Plateau, presently in Sichuan Province of China. REMARKS. The synonymy of L. diminuata to L. brunnicosa was proposed by Hennig [1960]. The structure of hind tarsus of the holotype of L. brunnicosa is similar to that of L. diminuata given by Hennig [1960] (Fig. 22, 23) and differs from hind tarsus of Lispe kozlovi sp.n. (Fig. 24).

NOTE ON THE TYPE LOCALITY. The fly was collected by the 18991901 expedition of the famous Russian explorer Petr Kuzmich Kozlov to the Central Asia (either by him personally or by his staff). Detailed information on this expedition is found in his own book, republished in 1947 [Kozlov, 1947]. Golubaya means in Russian blue and it was the commonly accepted translation of Yangtze, the name of the well known great Chinese river. The Dza-chu (Zâ Qû) is a well known name of the riverhead of the great Mekong River, used so in the cited book, and it was indeed visited by this expedition. However, the Mekong cannot be in the Yangtze basin and it was visited by the expedition in the previous year of 1900, within the period September 8 November 15 (all the dates are given here in the Julian calendar, as in the label and the book cited). On the other hand, the expedition indeed spent April 1901 in the upper Yangtze basin. Namely, first 15 days of April it camped at Bana-Dzhun village, astronomically located by P.K. Kozlov at 31œ5955N, 99œ2202E and elevation estimated as 12020 feet above sea level, that is slightly higher than specified in the label. Between April 15 and 25, the expedition descended downstream the Ser-chu River and then Yalong (YÎ lóng jiâng) River, the Yantze left tributary, to Sanka village and then ascended upstream the Den-chu River up to the Bimu-La Pass. We may suppose that the fly was collected at the Den-chu River, the name of which was confused with Dza-chu on the label. In a Soviet era altas published in 1954, the name Dza-Chu is applied both to the upper Mekong and to some river
