            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This new species is somewhat similar to  Medetera gussakovskii Negrobov, 1966 because they both have three dc of same length, they both have two sa, their legs are both mainly yellow and their CuAx ratio are similar (in latter it is 0.32), but can be distinguished from the latter by the color of the antenna and the mid femur as well as the apical bristle of cercus. In  Medetera gussakovskii , the scape and the pedicel of antenna are yellow and the mid femur is wholly yellow, the cercus has one strong peg-like apical bristle instead of the two digitations with bristles (Negrobov and Stackelberg 1972: p 304, figs 555-557). </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The specific name refers to the two digitations of the cercus which each has an apical bristle.</p>

In  Medetera turkestanica , legs are all dark metallic green, nearly brown. There is no detailed description of male genitalia of  Medetera turkestanica , but we are sure they are different species (Negrobov and Stackelberg 1974: 349). </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The species is named for the three claw-like bristles on the cercus.</p>

            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This new species is somewhat similar to  Medetera mongolica Negrobov, 1966 because their legs are both mainly black, they both almost do not have acr and their cercus both have one strong apical bristle, but can be distinguished from the latter by the bristle of surstylus and the shape of cercus. In  Medetera mongolica , one of the apical bristles of dorsal surstylus is flagellate and the cercus has a ventral process (Negrobov and Stackelberg 1972: p 319, figs 669-672). </p>

            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This new species is unique for the shape of the dorsal surstylus and easily separated from other known species. It is somewhat like  Medetera murina Becker, 1917 as they have similar dc, the arista, the bristles on mid tibia, the color of legs and the CuAx  ratio ; but can be distinguished from the latter by the number of acr, the bristles on fore and mid femora and the shape of cercus. In  Medetera murina , thorax has four-five pairs of acr, fore and mid femora each has one av, and the cercus has a deep apical incision. (Negrobov and Stackelberg 1974: p 321-322, figs 693-695). </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The species is named for the shape of the dorsal surstylus.</p>

            <p>Palaearctic: China (Inner Mongolia).</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This new species is somewhat similar to  Medetera infuscata , 1974 Negrobov because their legs are both mainly black and the shape of their cercus and hypandrium are quite similar, their dc and acr are similar in size but differ in amount, the new species can be distinguished from the latter by the CuAx ratio and the shape of phallus. In  Medetera infuscata , the CuAx ratio is 0.75 and the phallus is apically hooked (Negrobov and Stackelberg 1974: p 307, figs 580-584). </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The species is named for the type locality, Xiquekou.</p>
