INTRODUCTION
In my previous papers on Lispe [Vikhrev, 2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2014, 2015] a substantial part of the world fauna was considered. The present paper covers 5 species complexes: L. ambigua species complex with: L. ambigua Stein, 1913; L. biseta Stein, 1913 and L. surda Curran, 1937; L. dichaeta species complex with: L. dichaeta Stein, 1913; L. madagascariensis Zielke, 1972; L. stuckenbergi Zielke, 1970 (and the identity of L. leucosticta Stein, 1918 and L. miochaeta Speiser, 1910 is discussed); L. geniseta species complex with: L. geniseta Stein, 1909; L. macfiei Emden, 1941 and L. setigena Vikhrev & Pont sp. nov.; L. pumila species complex with: L. pumila Wiedemann, 1824 and L. angustipalpis Stein, 1920;
L. pygmaea species complex with: L. pygmaea Fallen, 1825; L. bipunctata Seguy, 1938; L. keiseri Zielke, 1972; L. pygmoza Vikhrev & Pont sp. nov.; L setu-
ligera Stein, 1911 and L. vilis Stein, 1911.
In [Vikhrev, 2012a] I proposed the Lispe pygmaea group for 3 species: L. pygmaea, L. pumila and L. angustipalpis and initially I intended to treat the above listed species as a part of the L. pygmaea group, but legs and thoracic chaetotaxy of these species are essentially different, so the monophyly of such group seems to me doubtful and should be confirmed or rejected by future genetical analysis. I think that 5 species complexes offered here would be a better approximation. I believe that there is close relationship between species inside each of the offered complexes except for the L. pygmaea species complex which in my opinion is most probably a polyphyletic one. Nevertheless I prefer to consider the listed species together in the same paper. In the first instance all these species share their ecology: they may be only rarely observed on the ground, but live mostly on grass and are usually collected by sweeping from low grass growing under water or on wet soil. Morphologically they share only several secondary characters
of minor importance: densely grey dusted body; narrow palpi; lower parafacial with elongated hairs or even a strong seta; vibrissa strong in both sexes; vein M straight; male tarsomeres not modified. Under the circumstances I would suggest to call the considered species the L. pygmaea ecological group. Outwardly the species of the L. pygmaea ecological group mostly resemble L. uliginosa Fallen, 1825.
Two new species of Lispe are described in present paper. These descriptions are based in part on the material personally collected in Australia by the author and in part on the ANIC material examined by Adrian C. Pont. Dr. Pont and I have had a fruitful discussion on the taxonomy of newly described species, so their description under both our names seems to us the only natural solution.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The majority of the specimens studied are in the Zoological Museum of Moscow University, Russia (ZMUM), which is not otherwise indicated in text. Other collections are abbreviated as follows:
ANIC - Australian National Insect Collection,
Canberra, Australia; BFU - Museum of Beijing Forestry University,
Beijing, China; BMNH - Natural History Museum, London, UK; MNHN - Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle,
Paris, France; ZIN - Zoological Institute, St-Petersburg, Russia; ZMHU - Museum fur Naturkunde, Leibniz-Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science, Berlin, Germany.
Localities (where possible) are given in the following form: country, region, geographical coordinates, the later are given in the Decimal Degrees format. Information which is not present on an original label is provided in brackets. Countries and regions are listed in the alphabetical order.
The following abbreviations for morphological structures are used: f1, t1, f2, t2, f3, t3 = fore-, mid-, hind- femur or tibia; ac = acrostichal setae; dc = dorsocentral setae; a, p, d, v = anterior, posterior, dorsal, ventral seta(e); prst - presutural, post - postsutural.
The abbreviation for the tarsi as tar followed by a pair of digits separated by a hyphen was proposed by Vikhrev [2011]: the first digit (1 to 3) gives the leg number and the second digit (1 to 5) the number of the tarsal segment. For example, tar1-4 = 4-th segment of fore tarsus; tar3-1 = basal tarsomere of hind leg.
Illustrations are original unless otherwise indicated.
Synonymies are listed only if discussed or otherwise used in the text. For full lists of synonyms see regional Diptera Catalogues by Pont [1980], Pont [1986], Pont [2012].
Lispe ambigua species complex Notes on L. ambigua species complex
The L. ambigua species complex includes 3 species distributed in highlands of tropical Africa (excluding Madagascar). The L. ambigua species complex is characterized as follows: 2+2 strong dc; t1 without median setae; t2 with or without ad and with 1 pd; t3 with 1 ad; lower parafacials without strong seta; pulvilli small.
Lispe ambigua Stein, 1913 Fig. 1: 2, 5
Type locality: Diredaua (=Ethiopia, Dire Dawa). Material examined: Syntype $: Abyssinia Dire-Daua [Ethiopia, Diredawa], 19.XI.1911, Kovacs (ZMHU). Topotype: 1S with the same label as the syntype (ZMHU). Initially the type series of L. ambigua consisted of 1S and 4$. Pont & Werner [2006] had not included the male from ZMHU in syntypes "since Paterson [1953: 178] saw the types from MNM (Magyar Nemzeti Muzeum, Budapest, Hungary) and included both sexes in his key, the single S syntype must have been in MNM (and therefore destroyed in 1956)". I am not fully convinced of their reasons, but I agree that in such a case as the identity of the type material an additional care makes no harm. As a compromise solution I indicated here the male specimen as the topotype. Ethiopia, Oromia: Bale Mt.: 3370 m asl, 7.088N 39.671E, 17.03.2012, N.

Distribution. Reliably known from E Africa: Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania. Other African records require verification. Lispe surda Curran, 1937 Fig. 1: 4
Type locality: South Africa, Bloemfontein (29.1S 26.2E, 1400 m asl). No material examined. Distribution. S Africa.
Remarks. Emden [1941] treated this species as a subspecies of L. ambigua. But even Curran [1937] noted that male L. surda has sternite 4 simple whereas it is modified in L. ambigua (Fig. 1: 1). Paterson [1953] reexamined the type material of both species and gave a recommendation on how to divide them. Paterson also gave drawing of cercal plates of both L. ambigua and L. surda [Paterson, 1953: 172, Figs 14, 15] (Fig. 1: 4, 5). That of L. ambigua is quite recognizable by its shape (compare with Fig. 1: 2), while that of L. surda is quite different.
Lispe dichaeta species complex
Notes on L. dichaeta species complex
L. dichaeta and related species may be easily recognized by their unusual thoracic cheatotaxy: 1+2 dc, all remarkably strong, the median pair
almost equidistant from anterior and posterior pairs. Legs chaetotaxy: t1 with 1 d and 1 pv setae; t2 with 1 ad and 1 pd; t3 with 1 av, 1 ad and 1 pd. Lower parafacial with strong seta; pulvilli not elongated. The species complex is distributed exclusively in the Afrotropical region, species are very similar to each other and can be most reliably distinguished by the shape of the male genitalia. However, during collecting trip to Tanzania I found that L. dichaeta and L. madagascarien-sis could be told apart with almost the same confidence by their ecology. To my surprise, all specimens collected in lowlands (from sea level to 650 m asl) turned out to be L. madagascarien-sis (I checked genitalia of each specimens while mounting), actually this «Madagascarian» species is rather common in Tanzania. L. dichaeta was collected in one Tanzanian locality which was at 1500 m asl (and earlier from several Kenyan and Ethiopian localities at altitudes from 1600 to 2350 m asl). In Madagascar the situation seems to be similar: examined specimens from sea level are L. madagascariensis whereas specimens from highlands (800 to 1570 m asl) are L. stuckenbergi, the Madagascarian sister-species of L. dichaeta. The presence of at least L. madagascariensis in African mainland means that all previous distributional data on the L. dichaeta species complex need to be verified. The records listed below seem to be the only reliable ones so far.
There are 2 more taxa which according to the descriptions have 1+2 strong dc and belong to the L. dichaeta species complex. L. leucosticta Stein, 1918 was described from an unknown locality in Madagascar, the holotype is in Vienna, and it could be the oldest name for L. madagascarien-sis or L. stuckenbergi. The type locality of L. mio-chaeta Speiser, 1910, is the grassland around Mt Kilimanjaro, syntypes should be in Stockholm [A. C. Pont, pers. comm.]. Presently the deforested area around Mt Kilimanjaro is at the altitude of about 1000 m asl, so L. miochaeta could be the oldest name for L. dichaeta or L. madagas-cariensis. The examination of the type material of these taxa would enable the synonymy of the L. dichaeta species complex to be finally settled.

Tanzania, Iringa reg., Iringa env., 1550 m asl, 7.79S 35.74E, 8-10.12.2015, N. Vikhrev, 4$, 3?.
Distribution. Reliably known from: Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and S Africa. Other African records require verification. Notes on the type series of L. dichaeta. Initially the type series of L. dichaeta consisted of 3$, 4? from Ethiopia, Zway Lake and 1$ from S. Africa, Durban, but most of the series was destroyed in 1956 in Budapest, only 1$ and 1 ? from Ethiopia and 1$ from S. Africa survived in ZMHU. The above listed large series of topotypes from Zway L. is conspecific with specimens from other Ethiopian localities and with Kenyan and Tanzanian specimens collected from altitudes of 1500 m asl and above. The male syntype from Zway L. has the cercal plate partly visible, and it fits the shape of cercal plate given in (Fig. 1: 10). It also has the postpedicel entirely dark. But the cercal plate is not visible in the male syntype from Durban, it was collected at sea level and on the opposite side of Africa. Due to the kind help by Joachim Ziegler, Jenny Polh and Christiane Lange (Berlin, Germany) I have had the opportunity to re-examine the Durban syntype and to check the structure of its genitalia. It turned to be conspecific with E African specimens. That probably means that while L. dichaeta is restricted to mountain regions near the equator it also inhabits lowlands at higher latitudes (Durban is located at 30°S).

Legs. Femora dark, grey dusted; knees, tibiae and tarsi yellow. t1 below middle with 1 d and1 pv. Mid coxa posteriorly without a set 4 closely placed short and straight spines as in L. stucken-bergi. f2 with strong median a, 2 av in basal half, 1(2) fine pv near base. t2 with 1 short p and 1 long ad below it. f3 with 3 av: in basal 1/3, median and preapical; pv surface with 2 (1-3) setae in basal 1/3. t3 with 1 av, 1 ad and 1 pd.
Abdomen grey dusted; tergites 1+2 to 5 with paired dark spots divided by not very distinct grey median vitta; tergites 4 and 5 with additional pair of ventro-lateral dark spots. Cercal plate characteristic: yellow; long, slightly curved; at apex each half with a set of 6-7 hairs; at very apex cercal plate anchor-like, backcurved (Fig. 1: 8).

Lispe geniseta species complex
Notes on L. geniseta species complex
The L. geniseta species complex includes 3 very similar species distributed in tropical Asia, Africa (including Madagascar) and Australia. These species can be reliably distinguished by male genitalia and their isolated distribution on 3 different continents. The structure of genitalia always corresponds to the continent, so far no specimens with intermediate characters were recorded. The genitalia are the same for African specimens collected on African mainland and Madagascar or for Asian specimen from such remote localities as W India, Cambodia and Java. Thus, we are inclined to regard both African L. macfiei formerly synonymyzed with L. geniseta and Australian L. setigena Vikhrev & Pont sp. nov. both hitherto identified as L. geniseta, as good species.
The L. geniseta complex is characterized as follows: 2+3 dc; legs chaetotaxy: t1 with 1 median pv; t2 with 1 pd and 1 ad; t3 with 1 av, 1 ad and 1 pd; lower parafacial with strong seta; pulvilli enlarged, distinctly longer than respective last tar-someres.

Notes on the type series of L. geniseta. The
type series of L. geniseta consisted of 3S and 1$ from two different localities: Batavia (= Indonesia, Java, Jakarta) and Brisbane (Australia, QLD), so according to the point of view we offer in the present paper it should be heterogeneous. However, Pont [1970] designated the male from Batavia (stored in Naturalis Biodiversity Centre, Leiden, The Netherlands) as the lectotype, so generally accepted understanding of L. geniseta as the Asian species is fixed. Genitalia of a male paralectotype L. geniseta from ZMHU were examined and confirmed as identical with those of other Asian specimens.
Ecology. Accoding to my observations, L. geniseta often hunts for Musca (Fig. 2: 13) on cow dung heaps on wet meadows.

Distribution. Widespread in Palaearctic from south to about 60°N; recorded in Sudan and Ethiopia; introduced in Hawaii and recently in Japan [Shinonaga, 2014].
Synonymy. Hawaiian species. I examined the male terminalia of L. pygmaea from: E Europe (Russia, Ryazan reg.), Far East (Russia, Primorsky reg.), Afrotropical region (Ethiopia) and Hawaii (Oahu Isl.) and found them to be the same (cercal plate - (Fig. 2: 24)). In my opinion the differences in male terminalia of Hawaiian species given by Hardy [1981] are groundless and unconvincing.
My opinion that all L. pygmaea-like species described from Hawaii are synonymies of L. pyg-maea is also supported by historical and evolutionary reasons. Hawaii are very remote islands and Lispe must have been introduced there by human settlers. But the early Polynesian settlers could not have done that because neither L. pygmaea nor L. pectinipes Becker, 1903 (the other Hawaiian species) occur in Polynesia. So, the introduction of Lispe into Hawaii took place much more recently, most probably during the mass delivery of Chinese workers for sugarcane plantations in the mid-19th century (L. pygmaea is present and common in E China). By any yard-
A$K
stick, less than 200 years is not enough time for the formation of species.
Japanese species. According to Shinonaga's [2014] diagnosis Lispe japonica runs in Hen-nig's [1960] key to L. nana Macquart, 1835. But it is not so, as in Hennig's key L. japonica runs directly to L. pygmaea and it is L. pygmaea by according to both description and photo. L. aureola differs from L. japonica by goldish pruinos-ity of the body, but yellowish (instead of more typical grey) dusting of the body is not rare in L. pygmaea. L. pygmaea is a common species all over Far East (in China, Korea and Russia). The Japanese fauna of Muscidae was one of the most thoroughly researched, and L. pygmaea was never recorded before. It is an easy Lispe species for collect, simple sweeping in grass is enough. Most probably L. pygmaea was introduced with some plant for Imperial Palace in Tokyo where it was then collected.
Thus, Lispe pygmaea Fallen, 1825 = Lispe ar-genteifacies Grimshaw, 1901, syn. nov. = Lispe ponti Hardy, 1981, syn. nov. = Lispe aureola Shi-nonaga, 2014, syn. nov. = Lispe japonica Shinon-aga, 2014, syn. nov.
Lispe pygmoza Vikhrev & Pont, sp. nov. Fig. 2: 23

(the male paratype was damaged during drying: face is sunken and posterior femora are deformed) (ZMUM).
Description. Male, body length 5.2 mm.
Head. Frons about 1/3 of head width. Frons dark; fronto-orbital plate yellowish dusted; frontal triangle distinct, yellowish to brownish dusted. Parafacial and face yellowish dusted, gena and occiput grey. Fronto-orbital plate with 4-5 inclinate and 2 reclinate setae and an outer row of 7-8 hairs. Parafacial with a row of 6-8 hairs, lower hairs stronger and elongated. Antenna dark with apex of pedicel and base of postpedicel orange; postpedicel falling short to mouth margin by 0.50.6 of its length. Aristal hairs about 2x as long as postpedicel width. Palpus yellow; narrow in basal half and abruptly widened in apical half where it
181
is 2.5x as wide as width of postpedicel. Vibrissa strong, and above vibrissa with an additional seta about 0.4x as long as vibrissa.
Thorax. Scutum and pleura dark grey dusted; scutum with dark brown median vitta and a pair of submedian vittae along dorsocentrals. dc 2+3, all strong; ac hairs in 4-5 rows. Katepisternals 1 + 1 + 1; anepimeron with about 6 hairs; meron and katepimeron bare. Wing slightly darkened, calypters whitish, haltere brownish.
Legs. Femora dark, grey dusted; tibiae yellow. Tibial setae longer than in other species of the L. pygmaea species complex. t1 without median seta. tar1-1 yellowish, tar1-2 to tar1-5 darkened, widened and shortened (reminiscent of the L. geniseta species complex). f2 in basal 3/5 with 5 a, 4 av and 4 short pv. t2 with 1 strong median pd and preapical d. f3 in basal 3/5 with 5-6 av and 4-5 pv. t3 with 1 long median ad and 1 long preapical d; both setae at least as long as length of tar3-1. Apical setae on anterior tibiae also are remarkably long: t1 with apical d, pd and pv; t2 with pd, pv, av and ad; t3 with ad, a, av and pv. Pulvilli elongated, longer than respective last tar-someres.
Abdomen grey dusted with triangular dark marks and indistinct median vitta. Cercal plate with elongated apical part as on Fig. 2: 23.
Female differs from male as follows: f2 without av, f3 with av and pv setae weak.
Diagnosis. L. pygmoza sp. nov. differs from L. pygmaea as recommended in the key; it differs from Australian L. setigena sp. nov. by tibial chae-totaxy and absence of strong seta on lower parafacial. The relationship of this species seems unclear. On the one hand it has reduced median tibial setae as L. pygmaea. On the other hand several characters resemble L. geniseta: fore tarsomeres shortened; pulpilli elongated; tibial setae including apical ones remarkably long and strong.
Etymology. The name composes of two parts: «pygmaea» - the species name of well-known and similar species of Lispe, and «OZ» - a nickname for Australia.

Distribution. Widespread in Neotropic: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Guyana, Mexico, Paraguay, Puerto Rico.
Remarks. Thoracic and leg chaetotaxy of L. setuligera is typical for the L. pygmaea species complex. However I have some doubts about L. setuligera belonging to this complex. Firstly, there are several morphological characters which are reminiscent of L. uliginosa, namely the shape of cer-cal plate; the presence on meron 5-7 hairs above hind coxa and 2-3 hairs below posterior spiracle, and katepimeron with 1-3 minute hairs. Secondly, the origin of a species from the L. pygmaea species complex in the Neotropical region seems enigmatic, whereas the L. uliginosa species group is distributed in the New World. These doubts concern other Neotropical species L. vilis as well.
Descriptive notes. Male. Palpus yellow; about 1.5x as wide as width of postpedicel. Scutum brown, with indistinct dark vittae: median and 2 submedian along dc; dc 2+3 all strong; prst ac in 4 rows. Femora dark; tibiae yellow. Fore coxa with a tuft of wavy hairs posteriorly. t1 with 1 very fine pv below middle. f2 in basal half with: 4(5) short strong a; 2-3 strong and long av; 2-3 strong and long pv, and 1-2 fine, long pv at very base. t2 with 1 p. f3 in basal 3/5 with a row 5-6 av and 5-6 pv. t3 with 1 ad; preapical d 0.5x as long as tar3-1 length.
