2FB3CCEB1FACB4B4D49EEB277E33831D.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the shape of the main scleral plate for the 4 th sternite, which resembles a cuirass or breastplate armor.	en	Ang, Yuchen, Meier, Rudolf (2010): Five additions to the list of Sepsidae Diptera for Vietnam: Perochaeta cuirassa sp. n., Perochaeta lobo sp. n., Sepsis spura sp. n., Sepsis sepsi Ozerov, 2003 and Sepsis monostigma Thompson, 1869.

2FB3CCEB1FACB4B4D49EEB277E33831D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Adult male Perochaeta cuirassa is very similar to Perochaeta lobo and can only be reliably distinguished from the latter based on the 4 th sternite [cf. Perochaeta cuirassa (Fig. 1) and Sepsis lobo (Fig. 6)]: The sternite in Perochaeta cuirassa lacks distinct lobes on the posterior end of the 4 th sternite, while the sternite brush is thick and squat (as opposed to long and thin in Perochaeta lobo), and the main scleral plate is much broader (long as wide) than in Perochaeta lobo (twice long as wide). The hypopygium [cf. Perochaeta cuirassa (Figs 2 - 4) and Perochaeta lobo (Figs 7 - 9)] is also distinct, with Perochaeta cuirassa bearing a large median, decussating protrusion on the dorsal side of the surstylus, while Perochaeta lobo has a sub-median protrusion on the ventral side of the surstylus. Perochaeta cuirassa is also readily distinguished from all other Perochaeta species based on the morphology of the 4 th sternite and hypopygium: The sternites brush of Perochaeta cuirassa (Fig. 1) has significantly more bristles (> 40 per brush) than either Perochaeta hennigi Ozerov, 1992 (Fig. 10) or Perochaeta dikowi (Fig. 12), both of which have only 5 - 6 large bristles in addition to a few weaker bristles. Perochaeta cuirassa also has strong bristles lining the distal margin of the sternite, which are not found in Perochaeta dikowi or Perochaeta hennigi. The surstylus of Perochaeta cuirassa (Fig. 2) resembles that of Perochaeta hennigi (Fig. 11), but can be distinguished by the large median surstylus projection, which is long and curved in Perochaeta cuirassa but short and broadly triangular in Perochaeta hennigi. Both Perochaeta dikowi (Fig. 13) and Perochaeta orientalis (De Meijere, 1913) (Fig. 14) lack large median projections. Perochaeta cuirassa can further be distinguished by the radial-medial cross-vein dividing the discal-medial cell which is in a ratio of 3: 1 in Perochaeta cuirassa, 2.5: 1 in Perochaeta dikowi, 2: 1 in Perochaeta hennigi and 1: 1 in Perochaeta orientalis.	en	Ang, Yuchen, Meier, Rudolf (2010): Five additions to the list of Sepsidae Diptera for Vietnam: Perochaeta cuirassa sp. n., Perochaeta lobo sp. n., Sepsis spura sp. n., Sepsis sepsi Ozerov, 2003 and Sepsis monostigma Thompson, 1869.

FB7687C9B7F9E254551AC9337AC1ACAF.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet is a phonetic translation of Greek " λοβό ", which refers to the large, distinct lobe found on each lateral half on the posterior margin of the 4 th sternite.	en	Ang, Yuchen, Meier, Rudolf (2010): Five additions to the list of Sepsidae Diptera for Vietnam: Perochaeta cuirassa sp. n., Perochaeta lobo sp. n., Sepsis spura sp. n., Sepsis sepsi Ozerov, 2003 and Sepsis monostigma Thompson, 1869.

FB7687C9B7F9E254551AC9337AC1ACAF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The adult male is very similar to Perochaeta cuirassa and can only be reliably distinguished based on the 4 th sternite and hypopygium. The 4 th sternite [cf. Perochaeta lobo (Fig. 6) and Perochaeta cuirassa (Fig. 1)] can be distinguished to species by the presence of distinct lobes on the posterior end, the long, thin sternite brush (as opposed to short and squat in Perochaeta cuirassa), and the sternite itself being narrower (half wide as long). The structure of the hypopygium (Figs 7 - 9) is also diagnostic given that it is the only Perochaeta with a surstylus that has a dorsal flap along its length and a long distal-pointing projection sub-basally. Other diagnostic characters that distinguish Perochaeta lobo from Perochaeta dikowi, Perochaeta hennigi and Perochaeta orientalis as described in diagnosis for Perochaeta cuirassa.	en	Ang, Yuchen, Meier, Rudolf (2010): Five additions to the list of Sepsidae Diptera for Vietnam: Perochaeta cuirassa sp. n., Perochaeta lobo sp. n., Sepsis spura sp. n., Sepsis sepsi Ozerov, 2003 and Sepsis monostigma Thompson, 1869.

BA028324E5E1325E2C17A78CFA188896.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet old English for " spur ", and refers to the distinct spur-like medioventral tubercle found on the male fore femur.	en	Ang, Yuchen, Meier, Rudolf (2010): Five additions to the list of Sepsidae Diptera for Vietnam: Perochaeta cuirassa sp. n., Perochaeta lobo sp. n., Sepsis spura sp. n., Sepsis sepsi Ozerov, 2003 and Sepsis monostigma Thompson, 1869.

BA028324E5E1325E2C17A78CFA188896.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Adult males of Sepsis spura closely resemble Sepsis nitens but can be distinguished by the following characters: (1) Medioventral tubercle on male fore femur of Sepsis spura is spur-like and bent at a forward angle with two smaller adjacent spines dorsally positioned at the end of the tubercle and one larger spine at the ventral end (Figs 24, 26), while the tubercle in Sepsis nitens is thicker on the base and has its three spines positioned more in a anterio-posterior fashion (Fig. 21). (2) The basal lamina-like projection on the fore tibia of Sepsis spura (Figs 25, 27) merges back with the tibia gently, but ends off with a distinct lobe in Sepsis nitens (Fig. 22). The short spines found posteriorly on the projection are also much weaker than those found in Sepsis nitens. (3) Sepsis spura (Figs 25, 27) has only one anterior lamina-like protrusion on the distal portion of the fore tibia, while Sepsis nitens (Fig. 22) has such protrusions on both anterior and posterior sides. (4) The surstylus of Sepsis nitens (Fig. 23) has a rather angular basal swelling and is relatively straight, curved only at the terminus, while the surstyli of Sepsis spura (Figs 30, 31) has a rounded basal swelling and is medially curved for the entirety of the surstylus. Sepsis spura can be distinguished from other Sepsis, also based on the specific structure of the male fore leg ornamentation and the shape of the surstylus.	en	Ang, Yuchen, Meier, Rudolf (2010): Five additions to the list of Sepsidae Diptera for Vietnam: Perochaeta cuirassa sp. n., Perochaeta lobo sp. n., Sepsis spura sp. n., Sepsis sepsi Ozerov, 2003 and Sepsis monostigma Thompson, 1869.
