03DC7D0A2070FFD220ED8C9782BEF836.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The association of the additional material with the holotype was made in part due to their proximity to the type locality, the colour pattern of the abdomen and the dorsally distinctly separated eyes. Unfortunately, the scutum of the holotype is obscured by the pin and median stripes are not visible. A possibly conspecific female specimen was discovered on the iNaturalist website (Figs 7 D, E) from Borland Lodge (South Island). The scutum lacks stripes, but the abdomen is similarly patterned.	en	Barros, Luana Machado, Soares, Matheus Mickael Mota, Freitas-Silva, Rafael Augusto Pinheiro De, Sinclair, Bradley J., Ale-Rocha, Rosaly (2022): Revision of the New Zealand endemic genus Pseudoscelolabes Collin (Diptera: Hybotidae: Ocydromiinae).

03DC7D0A2076FFDC20ED89B38553F84F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Collin (1928) based his redescription of P. fulvescens on specimens from the region of Ohakune (North Island), but based on our material examined these specimens most closely match P. lesagei sp. nov. The similarity of Collin’s material is obvious by the colour pattern of the illustrated female (Collin 1928, fig. 2). In addition, Collin (1928: 13) noted variations in the striping pattern: “ This stripe may resolve itself into two unconnected, rounded spots, or into a stripe narrow in front and wide behind, or the narrow front part may disappear, leaving only a dark patch above base of wing ”. Similar variation was also observed among our material examined.	en	Barros, Luana Machado, Soares, Matheus Mickael Mota, Freitas-Silva, Rafael Augusto Pinheiro De, Sinclair, Bradley J., Ale-Rocha, Rosaly (2022): Revision of the New Zealand endemic genus Pseudoscelolabes Collin (Diptera: Hybotidae: Ocydromiinae).
