A 1924	<div><p>Genus Austrosciara Schmitz &amp; Mjöberg, 1924</p><p>Type species: Austrosciara termitophila Schmitz &amp; Mjöberg, 1924; [Schmitz &amp; Mjöberg (1924): 1‒3, fig. 1].</p><p>= Ctenosciara Tuomikoski, 1960, syn. n.</p><p>Type species: Sciara hyalipennis Meigen, 1804 [Meigen (1804): 99].</p><p>Literature: Tuomikoski (1960): 110; Mohrig &amp; Jaschhof (1999): 14‒27; Mohrig et al. (1992); Sasakawa (1994); Menzel &amp; Mohrig (2000): 293‒299; Sutou &amp; Ito (2003); Wu et al. (2010); 42‒50; Shin et al. (2013); Vilkamaa et al. (2012): 37‒51; Mohrig (2013): 123‒136.</p><p>Remarks. Species of Ctenosciara are characterized by macrotrichia on the posterior wing veins, at least on branches of the M-fork (macrotrichia are absent on posterior wing veins in about one third of all species), a 3- segmented palpus, a bare postpronotum, a comb-like row of bristles on the apex of the fore tibia (tibial organ), mostly divided or with 1‒3 bristles separated from the comb, claws with or without teeth, a strong apical tooth on the apex of the gonostylus, a variable number of subapical spines (seldomly a few spines above the tooth) and a simple tegmen on the hypopygium.</p><p>Although most of these characters are not developed in the brachypterous female specimens from Victoria – the comb-like row of bristles on the apex of the fore tibia, sometimes distinctly divided, is an unmistakable feature for their classification. The hypopygium of Aus. termitophila resembles, in all details, species which have been classified as Ctenosciara so far by having an apical tooth and subapical spines on the gonostylus. Species of that genus are common and widespread from the Eastern Palaearctic region to the Australian region.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03958786FFBC5869FF66FC8B63FB84DB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Wings reduced, paddle-like and without venation, somewhat longer than the thorax. Haltere reduced, miniaturized, rod-like. Legs brownish; apex of the fore tibia with a small comb-like row of 4‒5 hyaline bristles, undivided; middle and hind tibia with equally long spurs, as long as the width of the tibia apex; claws without teeth. Abdomen. Brown, with rather long brown hairs. Hypopygium brown, ventral base broadly v-shaped; gonocoxite on the inner ventral margin with short and sparse hairs. Gonostylus elongate, with a strong apical tooth and 4‒5 fine spines (somewhat shorter than the tooth) within equally long hairs.

Eye bridge 2 facets wide. 4th flagellomere with l/w-index of 1.4, with sparse brown bristle-like hairs, somewhat longer than the width of the basal node; a few curved hyaline sensillae-like hairs in between the bristle-like hairs. Necks are rather short. Palpus 2-segmented, short; basal segment without a deepened sensory area but with 1‒2 bristles. Thorax. Brownish, pleural sclerites of a nearly normal shape, not strongly reduced or fused. Scutum with dark, short and fine hairs. Wing strongly reduced, nearly half of the thorax length, scale-shaped (in lateral view rod-like). Haltere short, strongly reduced, misshapen. Legs brownish; apex of the fore tibia with a small comb-like row of 3‒4 hyaline bristles and 2‒3 separate bristles; middle and hind tibia with equally long spurs, as long as the diameter of the tibial apex; tarsus with somewhat shortened segments; claws without teeth. Abdomen. Brown, with dark, rather long and sparse hairs. Body size: 1.2‒1.6 mm.</p><p>Comments. The species is characterized by reduced wings in both sexes and a 2-segmented palpus, sometimes with a small rudimentary third segment. In males the wings are narrow, rather long, and without distinct venation. The hypopygium is normal in shape, the gonostylus has a strong apical tooth and 4‒5 fine subapical spines, typical for species of Ctenosciara . Female specimens differ from the two other wing-reduced species by having a 2- segmented palpus and shorter flagellomeres. The conspecificity to Aus. termitophila was determined by the general habitus of the females, as described and illustrated by Schmitz &amp; Mjöberg (1924), including the eye bridge, consisting of two rows of facets, the short flagellomeres (hardly longer than wide), the scale-like wing rudiments, the reduced palpus (two segmented, with a minute rudimentary third segment [“ein winzig kleines Knöpfchen”]), the tarsus with somewhat shortened segments (“Tarsen etwas gedrungen”) and the body size (1.3 mm). The presence of a minute, rudimentary, third palpus segment is an inconstant character. In sciarid species with reduced palpi (one or two segmented) such rudimentary segments are common. Sometimes the numbers of palp segments differ even in the same specimen [Mohrig (1970), Fig. 4g]. The male specimens were assigned to the females, because of morphological similarities and their occurrence in the same sample, containing no other similar species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03958786FFBC586DFF66FA6562AC8309	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species is characterized by a 3-segmented palpus with a deep sensory pit on the basal segment and short antennal flagellomeres. The deep sensory pit with long sensillae distinguishes females of Aus. pedibusa sp. n. from the two other brachypterous species (Aus. termitophila and Austrosciara sp.). We consider this character suitable to identify male specimens of Aus. pedibusa sp. n., but they are unknown to us so far.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03958786FFB8586DFF66FD2B63808413	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Austrosciara sp. differs from the females of the other two species described above by possessing a 3-segmented palpus with no deepened sensory pit on the basal segments. The thorax has reduced wings and the halteres are very similar in all three species. We do not officially name this species, as its identification is more difficult than for Aus. pedibusa, due to the lack of distinctive characters. However, we do present it in order to illustrate the diversity of wing reduced Austrosciara .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03958786FFB8586EFF66FA5265D48056	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
