FIRST RECORDS OF CRANE FLY SUBGENUS EMODOTIPULA ALEXANDER (DIPTERA:TIPULIDAE:TIPULA) FROM TAIWAN AND THAILAND, WITH DESCRIPTION OF NEW SPECIES

摘要

Two new species of crane flies in the genus Tipula Linnaeus, 1758, subgenus Emodotipula Alexander, 1966 (Diptera:Tipulidae:Tipulinae), are described from Taiwan and Thailand. Tipula (Emodotipula) lishanensis, new species, is the first representative of the subgenus known from Taiwan and is closely related to Tipula (Emodotipula) thailandica, new species, here described as the first species of that subgenus from Thailand based on characters of external male genitalia and on DNA-sequence comparisons. Illustrations of the diagnostic morphological features of the new species are provided.
