摘要

Microphorella cassari sp. nov., a new species of Microphorella Becker (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) from Tunisia. - A new species of Micro - phorella Becker, Microphorella cassari sp. n., is described from Tunisia. The strikingly long, strap-like, lanceolate antennal stylus and the long, spine-like setae on the mid-portion of the costal vein of the male are unique amongst previously described species of Microphorella. Likewise, the completely divided sternite 10 of the female has not hitherto been recorded in other species of this genus.
