Diptera new species Oriental region Oxyphortica Stegana convergens group

Abstract

A new species group, the convergens group, is established within the subgenus Oxyphortica of the genus Stegana, based on two known and three new species, all of which are endemic to the Oriental Region: S. (O.) convergens (de Meijere, 1911), S. (O.) setifrons Sidorenko, 1997, S. (O.) mediospinosa sp. nov., S (O.) apicopubescens sp. nov. and S. (O.) apicosetosa sp. nov. A key to all species of the convergens group is provided.
