03F38791FFE1AB27FF62F8D7285FFF66.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined: Holotype (♂): (1) " Alai Geb. / VII. 1903 " [hand written]; (2) " 50816 "; (3) " Typus " [red]; (4) " asiaticum / Beck. / det. Becker " [first two lines hand written]. The specimen is deposited in the Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt-Universität, Germany, Berlin (ZMHB). When Becker (1922) described Z. asiaticum he pointed out that the most important character to distinguish his new species from other Zodion species was the milky clouded wing (" milchig getrübten Flügel "). This character was the only one used by Kröber (1936) to distinguish Z. asiaticum from Z. cinereum. Zimina (2000) distinguished Z. asiaticum from Z. cinereum by the lack of spots at the bases of the hairs on the abdomen and thorax, and the denser and thinner hairs. These characters do not accord with the original description, however, in which Becker (1922) stated " die sonst hervortretende Fleckung des Rückens ist sehr schwach ausgebildet, ebenso fehlt die Behaarung fast ganz, am Schildrande stehen nur 4 zarte Härchen " and " Hinterleib aschgrau, fast nackt mit sehr geringer Punktierung ". The indistinct black spots on the apical segments of the abdomen can be explained by the condition of the abdomen of the type specimen, which has become wet so that the dusting is not easy to see (fig. 10). I have compared the holotype of Z. asiaticum with specimens of Z. cinereum and could not find any characters to distinguish the two. The white veins of the wing which give a milky-white impression (fig. 11) are in reality only very light veins, and the pattern of the wing colouration otherwise resembles Z. cinereum completely. Therefore Z. asiaticum Becker, 1922 should be treated as a junior synonym of Z. cinereum (Fabricius, 1794) (syn. nov.).	en	Stuke, Jens-Hermann (2014): Some remarks on rare and new Palaearctic species of the genus Zodion Latreille (Diptera: Conopidae).

Phallus apodeme longer than hypandrium. Ejaculatory apodeme comparatively large (about as long as the distiphallus and as broad as the phallus apodeme), elongate, lightly sclerotised, and with a distinct attachment to the sperm sac. FEMALE. Unknown. Etymology. The name is derived from the Latin adjective " hispanicus " (“ Spanish ”) and describes the known distribution of the species. Diagnosis. Zodion hispanicum is an obvious species which can easily be recognised by the light orange abdomen, the completely orange legs and the contrasting grey thorax (fig. 22). The species would run to Zodion kroeberi Szilàdy, 1926, at couplet 1 of the key of Mei & Stuke (2008), on the basis of the following characters: Wing cell r 4 + 5 open (fig. 27); antennae completely orange (fig. 23); legs orange except for the last dark tarsomere (fig. 22); and 6 bristles present on the katepisternum. But Z. hispanicum differs from Z. kroeberi in having the frons without black hairs; ocellar setae hardly visible; basal flagellomere about as short as pedicel; palps black; black spots on mesoscutum and scutellum; scutum with a few very short hairs only, and which are more-or-less distinctly arranged in lines; scutellum with only 3 – 5 pairs of scutellar bristles, and no additional hairs on the dorsal surface; scutum and scutellum with several black spots (fig. 25); posterior surstylus without membranous appendage (fig. 30). The species might also prove to be similar to Z. erythrurum, which can have a very light orange abdomen, almost completely orange antenna and legs, and a similar dusting pattern on the thorax. To date I have not seen any specimens of Z. erythrurum with an open radial cell r 4 + 5, although these might occur. Such specimens will, however, be distinguishable in the male at least by the lack of a lamella on the surstylus and by the different form of the surstylus. Distribution: Zodion hispanicum is to date only known from the locus typicus in the Sierra Espuña (Spain, Región de Murcia).	en	Stuke, Jens-Hermann (2014): Some remarks on rare and new Palaearctic species of the genus Zodion Latreille (Diptera: Conopidae).
