The Genus Spinopygina gen. nov. (Diptera, Sciaridae) from Western North America: Preliminary Molecular Phylogeny and Description of Seven New Species

The genus gen. nov. (type species Hippa & Vilkamaa, 1994) from western North America is described. The genus includes the following eight species: sp. nov.; sp. nov.; sp. nov.; sp. nov.; sp. nov.; sp. nov.; sp. nov.; and (Hippa & Vilkamaa, 1994) comb. nov., transferred from Winnertz. The new...

Zusammenfassung:The genus gen. nov. (type species Hippa & Vilkamaa, 1994) from western North America is described. The genus includes the following eight species: sp. nov.; sp. nov.; sp. nov.; sp. nov.; sp. nov.; sp. nov.; sp. nov.; and (Hippa & Vilkamaa, 1994) comb. nov., transferred from Winnertz. The new species are described and is re-diagnosed. The species are keyed and illustrated. In the maximum-likelihood phylogenetic hypothesis based on four gene fragments (28S, 18S, 16S and COI), gen. nov. appears as the sister group of Hippa, Vilkamaa & Mohrig, 2003. In the same analysis, a remarkable, undescribed species is placed within Hippa & Vilkamaa clade.
