Description of Haematopota hikosanensis n. sp. from Kyushu Island, Japan (Diptera, Tabanidae)

Abstract

Haematopota hikosanensis, a new species is described from Kyushu Island. This species is closely related to H. toyamaensis Watanabe, Kamimura and Takahasi, but can be distinguished from it by the clearly marked median spot and roughly rounded side-marks on frons, straight dorsal margins of antennal scape, a greyish patch on scutellum and dark brown abdomen without any pale marginal bands on each tergite.
