Phyllomya albipila Shima & Chao, 1992

( Figs 4 , 12 , 21 , 55 , 73 , 101 )

Phyllomya albipila Shima & Chao, 1992: 638 . Holotype male (KIZ, examined). Type locality: China, Yunnan, Deqin. Phyllomya albipila: O’Hara et al. 2009: 41 (Chinese catalog); Shima 2014: 836 (Japanese catalog).

Diagnosis. Head dichoptic; head, thoracic pleura and venter of abdomen with whitish hairs; arista short plumose; palpus black; 3 postsutural dorsocentral setae; basal scutellar setae about twice as long as scutellum; 2 katepisternal setae; costa bare above; mid tibia with 2 anterodorsal setae; hind tibia with 3 preapical dorsal setae.

Redescription. Body length: 6.7–7.8 mm.

Male. Terminalia: Sixth tergite entire, concave on anterior margin of mid-dorsal portion, without hairs; 6th abdominal spiracle on ventral portion of 6th tergite; cerci broad at base and evenly narrowed to apex in dorsal view, very narrowly separated along apical 1/3 and convergent at apex, in lateral view weakly curved ventrally along apical 1/2, apex weakly reflected; surstylus narrow, gradually tapering to a pointed apex in lateral view, with several fine hairs; pregonite weakly convex on dorsal 1/3; distiphallus with dorsal sclerite weakly curved on apical 1/5, distal membranous area long, about as long as sclerite.

Female. Unknown.

Type material examined. Holotype ♂: [ CHINA] Deqin [in Chinese] / 1978.vii.1 / Gan Yung-xin [in Chinese] ( KIZ).

Distribution. China (Yunnan).

Remarks. A female described as a paratype of this species was misidentified by Shima & Chao (1992: 638). It belongs to a different species, described below as P. sichuana Shima & Zhang , sp. nov.
