Abstract

Forcipomyia (Euprojoannisia) coronacella Han et Hou sp. n. (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) is described and illustrated based on male specimens from China. The new species is compared with the similar congeners, F. (Euprojoannisia) palustris (Meigen, 1804) and F. (Euprojoannisia) mucronis Liu et Yu, 2001. We provide separate keys for identification of the males and females of the species of the subgenus F. (Euprojoannisia) Brèthes in China.
