Two new species of the genus Xanthochlorus from China (Diptera, Dolichopodidae, Xanthochlorinae).

ABSTRACT: The subfamily Xanthochlorinae comprises a single genus Xanthochlorus, and is rare in collections. Previously, there were four known species in the genus Xanthochlorus from China. In this paper, the species of the Xanthochlorus from China are reviewed. The following two species from Gansu Province of China are described as new to science: Xanthochlorus gansuensissp. n. and Xanthochlorus tewoensissp. n. A key to species of the Xanthochlorus from China is provided.

The genus Neurigona Rondani, 1856 (Diptera, Dolichopodidae) from Yunnan, China, with descriptions of seven new species and a key to the species of China.

Project description:Previously, only three species of the genus Neurigona Rondani of the subfamily Neurigoninae were known from Yunnan Province. Here, we reviewed the species of Neurigona from Yunnan and added the following seven new species: N.apicilatasp. nov., N.basicurvasp. nov., N.brevidigitatasp. nov., N.convexasp. nov., N.huanglianshanasp. nov., N.quadrimaculatasp. nov., and N.ventriprocessasp. nov. All seven new species are sympatric and were collected from below a reservoir in the Huanglianshan Nature Reserve in Yunnan using three Malaise traps in 2019. This suggests a very high species richness in the Yunnan fauna. A key to the species of Neurigona from Chinese mainland is provided.
