8A1087E0FFF4CB19FF77F916FD75FD1B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. A remarkably bicoloured, black and white macrocerine fungus gnat (Fig. 10). Antennae mostly white, with dark distal bands on flagellomeres 1 to 10. Flagellomeres 11 to 14 remarkably thin, narrowing gradually. In this respect M. pandastica is similar to M. punctipennis (see fig. 414 of Matile, 1990). Head, thorax and coxae black, abdomen black with white lateral spot on tergite 3 and 4. Wing pattern similar to that of M. punctipennis but the markings are more distinct and dark. The subapical dark spot extended to the tips of M 1 and M 2. Additional dark areas (not present in punctipennis) are along the apical parts of veins A 1, CuP, CuA 1, CuA 2 and above base of CuA 1. Vein A 1 reaching wing margin. Fore femur with a comb of short seteae medioventrally. Apical spurs on mid and hind tibia absent. Gonocoxites fused only basally. Cerci and proctiger different from those of M. berentiana (cf. Fig. 5 and 16; figures by Matile 1990 of the terminalia of M. punctipennis are not detailed enough). Gonostylus relatively broad with a short dark apex and with numerous long setae. Contours of gonostylus rather similar to that of M. punctipennis (cf. figs 417 – 418 of Matile 1990).	en	Ševčík, Jan, Papp, László (2011): New Afrotropical and Oriental species of Micrepimera Matile (Diptera: Keroplatidae).

Anepimeron small, bare, not reaching between preepisternum 2 and laterotergite. Haltere mostly dark brown, its basal half yellowish. Wing. Hyaline, with distinct dark markings. Membrane covered with microtrichia, without macrotrichia. A dark transverse band in the apical part of wing, reaching from the tip of R 5 to M 1 and M 2 (Fig. 11). A large dark spot over R 4 and two smaller ones on proximal third of both M 1 and M 2. Further dark markings on the branches of Cu and around r-m fusion. C produced beyond R 5 to 3 / 5 of the distance of the tips of R 5 and M 1. Costa, R 1 and R 5 covered with macrotrichia. R 1 ending in C at about half of the length of wing. Radio-median fusion light but traceable. Basal portion of media developed. CuA 1 approaching CuA 2 bellow r-m fusion. CuP fold-like, distinct, long but not reaching wing margin, dark in its distal third. Vein A 1 strong, dark in distal half, reaching wing margin. Legs. Relatively long and narrow, bicoloured (Fig. 10). All coxae and trochanters blackish brown. C 1 covered with setae mainly on front side, C 2 with several setae apically and C 3 with several fine posterolateral setae. Hind coxa widens towards its base. Femora sparsely clothed with fine trichia, not longer than maximum width of femur. Fore femur whitish, darkened only apically, bearing a distinct comb of short seteae medioventrally. Mid and hind femur darkened at distal half. All tibiae light brown with blackish tips, covered with numerous short trichia arranged irregularly. The apex of fore tibia widened, without distinct anteroapical depressed area. Fore tibia with one apical spur, as long as maximum tibial diameter.

Cerci and proctiger: apical part not divided, only the short setae may show its original paired structure. Two large basal setose plates present, where the setae are directed medially. Gonocoxites (Fig. 17) fused on a short basal section only, medially with a large opening (less apparent in some paratypes, but this may be due to unequal clearing in KOH) and a pair of large widely rounded well-sclerotised processes, which meet sagittally. Gonocoxal apodeme rather thin (Fig. 19), connecting sclerite without any posterior processes. Gonostylus (Fig. 18) rather broad with a short dark rather sharp apex and with numerous long setae. Inner genitalia (Figs 19 - 20) peculiar with 3 sclerites with microscopic longitudinal lines (sagittal one may be the distiphallus). Female.
