Abstract:

The collection of the scuttle flies (Diptera, Phoridae) visiting flowers of Cryptogorynae crispatula (Araceae)caught in Yunnan, China were studied. They were identified to 24 species of which only five were known, seven speciesare hereby described as new to science and next 13 species cannot be named until linked to their opposite sexes. Thefollowing are described. Conicera species female YG, cannot be named until linked to its male. Dohrniphora guangchunin. sp., Megaselia duolobata n. sp., M. excrispatula n. sp., M. interstinctus n. sp., M. leptotibiarum n. sp., M. menglaensisn. sp., M. shooklinglowae n. sp., Megaselia species Y1 female that cannot be named until linked to its male. Therecognition of M. chippensis (Brues, 1911), described from a single female, is augmented. Males of 6 species (Y1-Y6)of Puliciphora Dahl, cannot be named until linked to their females and 5 species of Woodiphora Schmitz.
