Diagnosis.

Campylomyza ambulata sp. nov. can be distinguished from other species in the flavipes group found in Korea through the following characteristics: 1) gonostyli curved anteroventrally, excavated ventromesally with denser setae towards the apex; 2) apical point small, short subtriangular (Fig. 2 E View Figure 2 , ↓ 10); 3) dorsal processes strongly tapering anteriorly, moveable depending on the pressure (Fig. 2 E View Figure 2 , ↓ 11); 4) shoulders of tegmen conspicuous (Fig. 2 E View Figure 2 , ↓ 12); 5) parameral apodeme short.

Measurements.

Male adult (holotype): Body length 1.187 mm. Wing length 1.364 mm. Hind leg coxa 0.134 mm; femur 0.480 mm; tibia 0.500 mm; tarsomere I 0.290 mm; tarsomere II 0.133 mm; tarsomere III 0.112 mm; tarsomere IV 0.071 mm; tarsomere V 0.058 mm.

Description.

Male adult (holotype). Head. Postocular bristles 3–5. Antenna with 12 flagellomeres. Neck of fourth antennal flagellomeres as long as node. Node with one complete and two incomplete crenulate whorls with sensory hairs, two incompletely collar-shaped sensilla distally. Palpus 4 - segmented; fourth segment longest. Thorax. Preepisternum with eight setae. Wing length to width ratio 2.28, AntC ending beyond R 4 + 5 but before reaching M 4; ApicR 1 3.46 × length of Rs; CuA separated. Tarsomere I longer than tarsomere II. Claws sickle-shaped, toothed; empodia longer than claws, pubescent. Terminalia. Tg 9 tapering towards apex with five fine setae apically. Ventral emargination U-shaped; ventromedial portion of gonocoxites slightly pronounced (Fig. 2 D View Figure 2 , ↓ 8). Gonostyli with moderately convex apical margins, excavated ventromedially, narrowly rounded apically. Dorsal transverse bridge broadly rounded apically, extending beyond ventrobasal margin (Fig. 2 D View Figure 2 , ↓ 9). On tegmen, apical points small, subtriangular, lamellate (Fig. 2 E View Figure 2 , ↓ 10), dorsal processes long, strongly tapering towards apex beyond midlength, blunt apically (Fig. 2 E View Figure 2 , ↓ 11). Tegmen shoulders well-developed (Fig. 2 E View Figure 2 , ↓ 12), Parameral apodeme short (Fig. 2 E View Figure 2 , ↓ 15).

Variation.

We observed significant variation concerning apical points and tegmen shoulders (Fig. 2 F – G View Figure 2 ). Apical points bulged with round serrated surfaces (Fig. 2 G View Figure 2 , ↓ 13); Shoulders inconspicuous, when almost in the same position or lower than apical points of tegmen (Fig. 2 G View Figure 2 , ↓ 14). Dorsal processes moveable apically.

Etymology.

The species epithet ambulata is derived from the Latin word ambulātus, which means ambulatory, referring to the movable nature of the dorsal processes.
