1 Ann. soc. entomol. Fr. (n.s.), 2007, 43 (3) : ARTICLE Review of the Fannia jezoensis-group (Diptera: Fanniidae) Mingfu Wang, Dong Zhang & Rongrong Wang Institute of Entomology, Shenyang Normal University, Shenyang , China Abstract. The jezoensis species-group is established within the genus Fannia Robineau-Desvoidy, consisting of four species, Fannia curvostylata n. sp., Fannia densa Nishida, Fannia jezoensis Nishida and Fannia zhangi Xue. The new species described here is from the Tibetan Plateau. The known species of this group are all described, illustrated and keyed. Geographic distributions are updated. The systematic position and biogeography of the F. jezoensis-group are also discussed. Résumé. Revue du groupe de Fannia jezoensis (Diptera : Fanniidae). Le groupe d espèce de jezoensis est établi au sein du genre Fannia Robineau-Desvoidy. Ce groupe comprend quatre espèces Fannia curvostylata n. sp., Fannia densa Nishida, Fannia jezoensthe Nishida et Fannia zhangi Xue. La nouvelle espèce décrite ici provient du plateau Tibétain. Les espèces du groupe sont redécrites, illustrées et incluses dans une clef. Leur distribution géographique est mise à jour. La position systématique et la biogéographie du groupe de Fannia jezoensis sont discutées. Keywords: Diptera, Fanniidae, Fannia, F. jezoensis-group, new species. The F. jezoensis-subgroup was originally established in the genus Fannia Robineau-Desvoidy by Nishida (1994), and included two species from Japan and Nepal respectively (Nishida 1976, 1994). While studying specimens of the genus Fannia from the Tibetan Plateau, we found one further undescribed species, closely related to F. jezoensis Nishida, After a systematic study of related species, the jezoensisgroup is expanded to include two additional species: F. curvostylata n. sp. and F. zhangi Xue, This has given us an opportunity to provide a definition of this group. As the morphological characters and especially the male genitalic structures of this group are extraordinarily different from other groups in the genus Fannia, we are confident in giving full speciesgroup status to these four species. The primary aims of this article are to review the F. jezoensis-group, to resolve any lingering systematic ambiguity associated with it, to describe one new species, and to provide an identification key to the known species. New data on localities are reported. The systematic position and biogeography of this group are also discussed. Material and methods The specimens examined in the course of this study were collected by sweeping from brushwood in mountainous wangmingfu403@163.com Accepté le 28 juin 2007 regions. Specimens were dried and studied, and are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Shenyang Normal University, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China. The external morphology was observed under a stereoscopic microscope and metric characters were measured with an ocular micrometer. To observe the detailed characters of the male terminalia, these organs were detached from the body, cleared by warming in a 10% KOH solution (approximately 100 C) for several minutes, placed in a droplet of glycerol, and observed under a compound light microscope. Terminology and measurements The morphological terminology follows McAlpine (1981). Absolute measurements are used for body length in millimetres (mm). Abbreviations used for characters include: a = anterior seta, acr = acrostichal seta, ad = anterodorsal seta, av = anteroventral seta, d = dorsal seta, dc = dorsocentral seta, ia = intra-alar seta, p = posterior seta, pd = posterodorsal seta, pra = prealar seta, and pv = posteroventral seta.

Distribution. China (Tibet). Discussion Systematic considerations Nishida (1976) recognized that the morphological characters and especially the male genitalic structures of F. jezoensis are extraordinarily different from other species in the genus Fannia. Almost twenty years later, he (1994) described F. densa from Nepal as a new species, which is closely related to F. jezoensis. Based on Chillcott (1961), he (1994) assigned these two species to the Fannia carbonaria-group and erected a new subgroup for them, the F. jezoensissubgroup. Amongst fanniid speciemens collected by the first author, as part of an ongoing survey of flies in the south-eastern Tibetan Plateau, we found one undescribed species (F. curvostylata n. sp.) and two species (F. jezoensis and F. densa) that are new records for this region. When we consulted the descriptions and figures by Xue & Wang (1996), the morphological characters and especially the male genitalic structures of F. zhangi showed that this species can also be assigned to this group. The monographs of Palaearctic, Nearctic, Australian and European species, with comprehensive descriptions and keys by Hennig (1955), Chillcott (1961), Pont (1977) and Rozkošný et al. (1997), are very useful for taxonomic studies of the Fanniidae. They provide a sound basis for a comprehensive study of this family at the species-group level. A systematic study of these four closely related species showed that both the external pattern elements and the genitalia of this group differ substantially from those of the currently-recognised species-groups in Fannia. The group can be distinguished from other Fannia groups by the male cercal plate with numerous distal teeth on the ventral surface and the apex of male tergite 9 with a pair of long ventral lobes. A number of other 360

5 Review of Fannia jezoensis-group reliable characters, such as the eye with dense long hairs, pra 2-4 and male bacilliform process absent, are also used as species-group diagnostic characters. So we can confirm that the F. jezoensis-group is an independent species-group in Fannia. Biogeographic considerations The distribution pattern of this group is worthy of special attention. The four known species have been found mainly in the Tibetan Plateau, and three of them are endemic and occur sympatrically on Mt. Baima, generally restricted to altitudes between approximately 3800 and 4700 m. Only F. jezoensis has a wider range which also includes Hokkaido, Japan (Fig. 13). Fanniidae most probable existed in the Cretaceous (Hennig 1965), and the great diversity of species in the Palaearctic region indicates that this area may well have been the point of origin of the family (Chillcott 1961). Judging by the distribution pattern of this group, its precursor was probably first introduced to the Tibetan Plateau by the way of Eurasia during the Miocene, after the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate. With the uplifting of the Tibetan Plateau, the complex topography resulted in a wide range of climatic conditions and vegetation types which in turn gave rise to diverse niches for insect speciation. This region thus became the centre of origin for this group. Most Japanese islands were once connected to the Asian mainland during the Late Pleistocene (Lawlor 1986; Virginie & Jaeger 1999), offering some direct pathways for the migration of species from the mainland into these new territories. The cold and warm cycles of the glaciations during the Pleistocene may have led the ranges of some jezoensis-group populations to expand and contract. F. jezoensis may have been introduced into Japan by then. It also resulted in the range of this group being disjunct between the Tibetan Plateau and Japan. Acknowledgments.
