A new specie sof the genus Myosgila Rondani from Japan (Diptera : Muscidae)

Abstract

A new species, Myospila japonica, is described and illustrated. This species is closely related to M. laevis (Stein), but differs from it in having 1 or 2 small hairs around notopleural bristle and an incision on apical part of male cerci, and no lateral bristles on scutellum of female. A revised key to the Japanese species of Myospila is presented.
