Abstract

Lobosciara Steffan, characterized by unusual modifications in the male genitalia, is the sister group of Dolichosciara Tuomikoski. The concept of the genus is redefined on the basis of the new material. Lobosciara includes the following species which are keyed and described: L. spinipennis (Sasakawa) (Thailand, Micronesia), L. adebratti sp. n. (Borneo), L. bilobata sp. n. (Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sulawesi), L. latiloba sp. n. (Malay peninsula, Borneo) and L. trilobata sp. n. (Sulawesi). The phylogenetic interrelationship of the species is as follows: [spinipennis + trilobata] + [latiloba + (adebratti + bilobata)].
