| Abstract: | The genus Strongylophthalmyia includes eight Palaearctic species. Of these S. paula is described new to science. It is a small species with transparent wings, naked arista, and light yellow face. S. crinita Hennig and S. japonica Iwasa are recorded for the first time from Russia. A key to the Palaearctic species of Strongylophthalmyia is given. S. gibbifera sp. n. and Nartshukia musiva gen. et sp. n. from Vietnam are also described. The first is identified as S. crinita in the Steyskal's key but differs from the latter by the smaller size, the presence of a dorsal triangular process on the third antennal segment, and the absence of the curved epandrial processes. N. musiva is a slender, narrow-winged fly easily recognised by the long legs and the visor-like anterior part of the frons. Its wings have incomplete subcosta, large second basal cell, and straight anal crossvein. |
