502AF8AD629B515D8232D2876CCA4D2B.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The new species is more or less similar to the Indian species, Forcipomyia (Forcipomyia) imparitheca Saha, Das Gupta, Gangopadhyay & Mukherjee, 2009 in the shape of aedeagus and maxillary palp but differs significantly in the structure of gonocoxite with tuft of setae, and shorter parameres having shorter submedian process than the known species. The male of the new species is also similar to the Chinese species F. dividus Liu & Yu, 2001 in the aedeagal structure, but the shape of the parameres is completely different from each other. The parameres are fused in F. dividus while they are separate in the new species; submedian process is much longer, and TR value is much higher in F. dividus than the new species. The females of F. imparitheca show resemblances to the new species in AR, PR and CR values. New species possesses subequal spremathecae without neck while in F. imparitheca, the spermathecae are unequal, with short neck. The female of the new species is also similar to another Indian species, Forcipomyia fulvipes Saha, Das Gupta, Gangopadhyay & Mukherjee, 2009 in the shape of spermathecae (subequal), AR and CR values, much lower PR values. However, PR value and shape of the third maxillary palp segment differ from each other (PR value is much lower in F. fulvipes than the new species; the third maxillary palp segment in F. fulvipes is swollen in the middle but swollen at the distal end in new species).	en	Pal, Gouri Sankar, Brahma, Shubhranil, Hazra, Niladri (2023): One new species and new records of three species of the genus Forcipomyia Meigen, 1818 (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) from West Bengal, India.
