Euthycerina, Malloch, 1933

Mortelmans, Jonas & Hendrix, Jef, 2020, Review of Euthycerina Malloch (Diptera, Sciomyzidae), with description of a new species from Chile, Zootaxa 4786 (3), pp. 381-395 : 393

Euthycerina species

A series of eight specimens remained unidentified.

Specimens studied 2♀, “ Chile, Santiago, Los Maitenes , 12 X 1966, C.O.Berg ”. In CUIC .

6♀, “ Chile, Coquimbo: Fray Jorge Park ( SSW of Tangue ), 21 X 1966, C.O.Berg ”, “ J.Zuska Biol. Note N° J6686, Z6636,Z6637,Z6638 [four specimens bear biological note numbers, one from Jay Abercrombie, three from Jan Zuska]”. In CUIC .

The series of specimens labelled Euthycerina “elongata” that we borrowed from the CUIC consisted of female specimens only, these specimens originating from two localities far apart (Santiago and Fray Jorge Park). The series could not be determined as either E. pilosa , E. uachi or E. vittithorax and these 8 specimens will probably prove to be another undescribed species. Because no male specimens were found in the series, and to maintain taxonomic stability within Euthycerina , it was decided to leave the specimens undescribed.

The CNC holds three unidentified specimens of Euthycerina from Chile (Malloco and Capitán Prat provinces). These specimens were identified in 2014 by W.L. Murphy as Euthycerina spec, although it is not known if they are conspecific to the above series from CUIC. They were not studied here.
