It can be easily distinguished from the latter by the rostral prolongation with two short spines arising from a small tubercle (Figs. 23 – 24), whereas in G. c a l o p t er a, two longer spines arise directly from rostral prolongation (Geiger 1986, Podenas et al. 2006).

This new species is somewhat similar to G. bifurcula (Alexander, 1933) in having the similar body color, clouds and venation of wing, and structure of lobe of gonostylus of male hypopygium, but can be easily distinguished from the latter by the male hypopygium with posterior margin of tergite nine emarginated and the clasper of gonostylus inexistent (Figs. 29 – 30). In G. bifurcula, the posterior margin of tergite nine is deeply and narrowly notched, and the clasper of gonostylus is small, slender and nearly straight (Alexander 1 933). This new species is also similar to G. durga (Alexander, 1967) and G. feuerborni (Alexander, 1931) in having the similar structure of male hypopygium, but can be distinguished by the details of male hypopygium. In G. d u rg a, the mesalapical lobe of paramere has a strong lateral lobe or obtuse spine (Alexander 1967 b), which is inexistent in the new species.

03D6AA0F4214FFC767E2F96D24ACCEF6.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific name (from Latin niger (adj., meaning " black ” )) refers to the body color almost entirely black.	en	Zhang, Xiao, Zhang, Zehua, Yang, Ding (2016): Five new species of Geranomyia Haliday, 1833 (Diptera, Limoniidae) from China.

03D6AA0F4214FFC767E2F96D24ACCEF6.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This new species is somewhat similar to G. contrita (Alexander, 1937) and G. multicolor (Alexander, 1966) in having the similar clouds and venation of wing. It can be easily distinguished from G. contrita by the prescutum without stripe (Fig. 47), and the tip of hypogynial valve in female near 3 / 4 of cercus (Fig. 48), whereas in G. contrita, prescutum has three confluent dark brown stripes (Alexander 1937 a), and the tip of hypogynial valve is near 1 / 2 of cercus. Differing from G. multicolor, this new species has large lobe of gonostylus and clasper of gonostylus with the acute tip straight (Figs. 50 – 51). In G. multicolor, the lobe of gonostylus is small and the acute tip of clasper of gonostylus is upcurved (Alexander 1966).	en	Zhang, Xiao, Zhang, Zehua, Yang, Ding (2016): Five new species of Geranomyia Haliday, 1833 (Diptera, Limoniidae) from China.
