Descriptions of three new carbonaria-group species of Fannia Robineau-Desvoidy from China, with a key to the carbonaria-group species (Diptera, Fanniidae)

Abstract

A historical review of the Fannia carbonaria-group is provided and three new species are described from China: F. fani Wang & Wu, sp. n., F. nitidiventris Wang & Zhang, sp. n. and F. submaculata Wang & Zhao, sp. n.. One species, Fannia norvegica Ringdahl, 1934, is recorded for the first time from China. Illustrations of male terminalia of these four species and a taxonomic key to the males of known species in the group are given. The F. carbonaria-group now includes 30 species distributed in the Holarctic Region and northern part of the Oriental Region.
