YOUNG Section of Invertebrate Zoology, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, 4400 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213-4080, USA. E-mail: youngc@carnegiemnh.org Abstract Taiwanese species of the crane fly subgenus Tipula (Formotipula) Matsumura, 1916, are reviewed. Tipula (Formotipula) argentea, new species, is described and figured. The only other previously known Taiwanese species, Tipula (Formotipula) holoserica (Matsumura, 1916), is redescribed. The external anatomy of the last instar larva and pupa of T. (F.) holoserica is described and illustrated, with a brief discussion of the biology of the larva. Key words: Diptera, Formotipula, larva, new species, pupa, Taiwan, Tipula, Tipulidae Introduction Formotipula was first proposed by Matsumura (1916) as a genus for the type species Formotipula holoserica. Alexander (1920) placed Tipula nigrorubra (Riedel, 1917) and Tipula rufomedia (Edwards, 1916) as synonyms of Tipula holoserica (Matsumura, 1916). Edwards (1931) recognized Formotipula as a subgenus of Tipula Linnaeus and characterized Formotipula morphologically by the following features: spur formula is 1 1 2; claws of male toothed; Rs short or of moderate length (1 1.5 times m-cu); M4 arising near middle of discal cell; hairs on branches of M usually few or absent; squama quite bare; thorax nearly bare and uniformly dull black or red; abdomen short, ovipositor always short, fleshy. Additional characters were recognized for the subgenus in a summary publication on the 18 species of Formotipula in Asia (Alexander 1935), and Savchenko (1961) presented a tentative key to the species of Formotipula found in the Palaearctic. The diagnostic characteristics, including external sexual characters that separate Formotipula from other subgenera, are: body coloration contrasting, black and orange; thorax either chiefly velvety black or a shade of orange or reddish orange; no setae on mesopleura; tibial spur formula 1 1 2; abdomen short, compact; hypopygium strongly tilted upward in male; ovipositor with both cerci and hypovalvae greatly reduced in size, fleshy in female. These characters of the female ovipositor are shared with females in species of Arctotipula Alexander, and some species of Lunatipula Edwards, but specimens can be easily separated by the tibial spur formula of 1 1 2 in Formotipula. The present study has demonstrated that the characters on the male hypopygium and female ovipositor are the most diagnostic features and have been used to characterize this subgenus. The current Catalogue of the Craneflies of the World (Oosterbroek 2009) placed Formotipula as a subgenus of Tipula and recognized 27 valid species. Formotipula has a predominantly Oriental Accepted by V. Lantsov: 13 Oct. 2009; published: 22 Dec. 2009 309

distribution and is especially diverse in Southeast Asia. In Taiwan, Formotipula is known only by one species, Tipula (Formotipula) holoserica, which is recorded throughout the island in lowland and middle elevation wooded habitats (Young & Lin 2005). A second Taiwanese species, Tipula (Formotipula) argentea, new species, is described below. Both male and female of T. (F.) holoserica are redescribed and figured as the original description was overly simplified and imprecise. The successful rearing of several larvae of T. (F.) holoserica into adults from both eggs and field collected larvae allows the present paper to contribute the first complete descriptions and illustrations of the last instar larva and pupa for the subgenus Formotipula, as well as additional information regarding the biology of the larvae. Materials and methods This study is based on field collected specimens. Specimens were collected and dry-mounted following Byers (1961:677 678). Other specimens were preserved in 70% ethanol. Genitalia preparations were made by soaking the three posterior abdominal segments in cold 10% KOH overnight. They were rinsed with acetic acid and water after removal from KOH, and then stored in glycerin-filled microvials pinned below the corresponding specimens. Immature stages used for this study were obtained from field-collected mature larvae and by rearing from eggs laid by field-collected adult females. Field-collected larvae were provided with organic debris from the natural habitat, and grown in the laboratory, eventually transforming into pupae and adults in a normal manner. Adult females usually are unwilling to oviposit in the laboratory; but when a gravid female is pinched at the neck region with a pair of fine forceps, she will begin ovipositing and will usually lay all of her eggs in a short period (Young, 1987:217). Larvae for rearing were housed in a transparent plastic box. Water and organic matter from the natural habitat were mixed and covered the bottom of the box to a depth of 4 cm. The box was set with one end slightly higher than the other, so one fourth of the bottom substrate was damp but not covered with water. Water was sprayed periodically to dampen the soil. Behavior of larvae kept in this situation appeared normal. Commercial turtle food and sweet potato were offered as dietary supplements. Eight larvae were successfully reared to adults from the approximately 45 initial eggs. Methods for preserving larvae and pupae are those of Byers (1961:679). The descriptions are accompanied by drawings of characters found useful in segregating the species. Descriptive terminology follows that of Byers (1961), McAlpine (1981), Gelhaus (1986, 2005), and Young (1999). The following abbreviations are used: CMNH, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; NCHU, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan.

Distribution. Tipula (Formotipula) holoserica is known only from Taiwan. The collecting data (Young & Lin 2005) show this species occurs from sea level up to middle elevation (36 2000 m) woodland habitats. Material examined. TAIWAN: Kaohsiung: Shanping, 640 m, J.

Remarks. This is the type species of Formotipula Matsumura. The distinct, contrasting, velvety black-and-orange body coloration distinguishes this species from all other species in the genus Tipula. However, there are several black-and-orange colored crane fly species in other genera of Ctenophora Meigen, Hexatoma Latreille, Leptotarsus Guérin-Méneville, and Nephrotoma Meigen in Taiwan. This species can be separated from all aforementioned genera by the strongly tilted upward genitalia in males, and the extremely short ovipositor in females. The synonymy of rufomedia Edwards, 1916, and nigrorubra Riedel, 1917, as proposed by Alexander, 1920, is accepted here. The original descriptions of both taxa as well as the figures presented by Edwards for rufomedia clearly show that these names are junior synonyms of holoserica, and do not pertain to the new species as described below. Larval description. Mature fourth (final) instar larva: Body 16 18 mm long and 2.8 3.0 mm wide, body stout and terete, tapering gradually toward both ends. Body dull gray, paler laterally. Head. Broad, massive, well sclerotized, oval-shaped and slightly depressed, typical head capsule of Tipulinae (Byers 1961, Young 1981, Gelhaus & Young 1991); antennae with cylindrical basal segment, about three times as long as its basal width, slightly tapering apically with apical sensory peg; mandibles bifurcate with distinct, large central tooth, two smaller dorsal teeth, and an additional tooth and hair tuft near base; maxillae with hairy galea and lacinia; hypopharynx with five teeth; hypostomal bridge with one large, acute central tooth and two smaller ones on each side. Thorax. All segments densely covered with fine, short microscopic hairs appressed to body. Macrosetae short, placement on thoracic segments same as that on abdominal segments (Figs. 11 12). Abdomen. All segments covered with short, brownish, transverse rows of microscopic hairs; macrosetae darker; all setae except L4 situated on posterior annuli; L4 situated on anterior annulus. Setae D1 D3 short; D4 the shortest, D5 and D6 lighter and finer, situated above D4 (Fig. 11); seta V1 the shortest, and V2 V5 slightly longer (Fig. 12); setae L1 and L2 absent, L3 and L4 short. D2, D3 and V2, V3 surrounded by dark clusters of macroscopic hairs. Spiracular disc. Surrounded by six subequal lobes (Fig. 10); dorsal and lateral lobes conical, dorsal lobes one half length of lateral lobes, lateral lobes dorsolateral; dorsal and lateral lobes unsclerotized with microscopic hairs, one dark macrosetae on posterior surface of each lateral lobe, two thirds length from lobe tip; dark brown irregular sclerite near base of each dorsal lobe, three visible macrosetae on sclerotization, with pale area surrounding their bases; ventral lobes roughly triangular in dorsal aspect, with subacute tip, basal width one and one half times length; sclerotization on inner surface of each ventral lobe, darker below spiracles and lighter apically, tip of ventral lobes each with three visible macrosetae; spiracles circular; marginal band black; anal opening transverse with four equal sized anal papillae. 314 Zoosymposia 3 2009 Magnolia Press YOUNG

Remarks. Larvae of Tipula (Formotipula) holoserica can be readily and consistently keyed to other taxa in existing keys, in part to couplet 9 (Nephrotoma) in the key for the larvae of Malaysian Tipulinae (Young, 2004), or in part to couplet 17 (Beringotipula) in the key for the larvae of North American Tipula (Gelhaus, 1986). T. (F.) holoserica superficially resembles species in Nephrotoma Meigen, as well as several of the most terrestrial subgenera of genus Tipula Linnaeus: Beringotipula Savchenko, Pterelachisus Rondani, Trichotipula Alexander, Vestiplex Bezzi, and Lunatipula Edwards (in part). Specifically these share the following morphological characters: border of setae around spiracular lobes reduced or absent; sclerotization on dorsal and lateral lobes reduced or absent; anal papillae reduced in number and size. The distinctive difference of T. (F.) holoserica from NEW SPECIES AND BIOLOGY OF TAIWANESE FORMOTIPULA Zoosymposia 3 2009 Magnolia Press 315

the above subgenera is the absence of the sclerotization associated with the lateral lobes, and it can easily separated from Nephrotoma by the absence of transverse welts on the prothoracic dorsum.

Female terminal segments, lateral aspect. 316 Zoosymposia 3 2009 Magnolia Press YOUNG

Pupal description. Male: length 16 17 mm, width 2.8 3.0 mm. Female: length 18 19 mm, width 3.8 4.0mm. Body coloration overall light yellowish brown, slightly darker on tarsal sheaths. Head. Antennal sheath slightly expanded at base (Fig. 13), apex of sheath reaching about one third length of mesothoracic tibia. Paired short, wrinkled ridges between bases of antennal sheaths. Maxillary palpal sheath short, its apex recurved, reaching sheath of prothoracic femur (Fig. 14). Thorax. Respiratory horn 1.2 1.3 mm in length, with slightly curved and minute annulations along entire length, apex enlarged and rounded. Dorsum of thorax densely wrinkled with two pairs of protuberant lobes (Fig. 14), larger pair above wing base, smaller pair near wing base. Wing sheaths reaching slightly over middle length of abdominal segment 2. Sheaths of fore, middle, and hind tarsi in transverse alignment, reaching slightly over middle of posterior edge of abdominal segment 4. Abdomen. Segments 2 7 with well-defined anterior and posterior annuli; three hooked spines on each side on segments 3 7; two spines on anteroventral margins and eleven spines along posteroventral margins of segments 5 7; two spines on anteriodorsal margins and thirteen spines along posteriodorsal margins of segments 3 7. Terminal segments (8 9 in male, 8 10 in female) with six pairs of elongated spines in female (Fig. 16), and seven pairs in male (Fig. 15); in female four pairs directed dorsally, two pairs directed ventrally; spines directly anterior to genital sheaths with two hooks apically; in male, an additional pair of spines at the base of genital sheaths curved dorsad; female with distinct cercal sheath. Remarks. The pupa of T. (F.) holoserica is recognizable as belonging in Tipulinae by the wrinkles on the thoracic cuticle and the spines along the posterior margins of the abdominal segments (Gelhaus and Young, 1995). It can be distinguished from other Tipulinae by the presence of two pairs of protuberant lobes on the thoracic dorsum. The short length of the respiratory horns of the pupa is probably associated with its terrestrial habitat. Biology. The larvae were collected in three different localities: Taipei County, Kan-Lu Temple in Tuchen, 234 m, 24 57 13 N, 121 27 17 E; Taipei County, Da-chine Mountains in His-chih, 434 m, 25 02 58 N, 121 40 09 E in April and May of 2007; and in Chiayi County, Fen-chi-hu, 1405 m, 23 30 11 N, 120 41 42 E in March of 2009. All three collecting sites are shaded woodland habitats. Larvae were collected in wide ranges of terrestrial microhabitats from outer layers of decayed logs, under mosses, to beneath leaf litter and soil in woodlands. Other species occurring in similar habitats were several species of Tipula (Lunatipula), T. (Pterelachisus) and Nephrotoma. Tipula (Formotipula) argentea new species (Figs. 2, 17 22) Diagnosis. This species is known from both sexes. It is most similar to T. (F.) holoserica, but differs in its slightly larger body size and the distinctive silvery stripes on the thoracic dorsum (Fig. 2).

Wing dark, strongly tinged with black. R1+2 preserved, R2 short, perpendicular, R1+2 three times length of R2. No setae on mesopleura; setae on notum sparse and erect. Tibial spur formula 1-1-2. Claw toothed. Squama naked. Abdomen. Short and compact, in male with hypopygium strongly curved upward. Basal segment and all of segments 6 to 9 involving the genitalia of both sexes black. Hypopygium. Male genitalia as in Figs. 17 19. Tergite 8 short, sternite 8 projected caudad beneath sternite 9; tergite 9 and sternite 9 separated; tergite 9 with median region of outer portion narrowed and heavily blackened, the tip turned downward to an acute point (Fig. 17). Basistyle produced caudad into a stout blackened lobe, the tip obtuse with abundant short black spines and numerous long black setae (Fig. 19). Outer gonostylus absent. Inner gonostylus broad, flattened, with short outer basal lobe tapering into an acute point; beak compressed, slender in dorsal aspect, with apical hook directed anteriorly (Fig. 18). Sternite 9 on either side of median area with a small dark rod clothed with long black setae (Fig. 19). Ovipositor. External structures as in Figs. 20 22. Tergite 9 with two small, rounded, dorsoventrally flattened lobes separated by broad median emargination (Fig. 21). Sternite 9 on either side of median area with an elongated lobe covered with fine setae (Fig. 22). Cerci short, wide, fleshy, apically rounded. Sternite 10 distinct, nested below cerci. Hypovalves short, sclerotized, sharply pointed (Figs. 20). Distribution. Tipula (Formotipula) argentea is known only from Taiwan. The collecting data show this species occurs from sea level up to middle elevation (1906 m) wooded habitats. Type material. Holotype, deposited NCHU. VERBATIM LABEL DATA: Taiwan: Taichung Co. Li-Shan 1906m 24-15-23N 121-14-59E 21May2007 Shih H Ding / Holotype Tipula (Formotipula) argentea Young. Paratypes (2): Taiwan: same data as holotype 1 [NCHU]; Taipei, Sijhih, DaJian Mts. 311 m 25 03 14 N 121 40 22 E 02Mar2008 Linchu Lin, 1 [CMNH]. Etymology. The species-group name is based on the Latin adjective argenteus, of or pertaining to silver, after the silvery-colored stripes on the thoracic dorsum. Remarks. This new species appears to be most closely related to the only other Taiwanese species, T. (F.) holoserica. The male genitalia are somewhat similar in both species with the large ninth tergite that narrowing posteriorly into an acute point. Females of both species have short, fleshy ovipositors, but can be easily separated by the smaller dorsal lobes and longer ventral lobes in the new species. The most distinctive character of the new species is the silvery stripes on the thoracic dorsum. Discussion The diverse crane fly fauna of Taiwan and its relationships to that of other regions is of great interest but poorly understood. Geographical distributions of most tipulid species in Taiwan are inadequately documented. No surveys of crane flies have been conducted in the island, and only a limited number of specimens are available for examination. Based on the current known distribution of the subgenus Formotipula (Oosterbroek, 2009), a tentative hypothesis can be offered that Taiwanese Formotipula represents a component of Oriental rather than Palaearctic origin, although the Catalogue of the Craneflies of the World listed Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in China after Palaearctic region. The achievement of rearing T. (F.) holoserica also provides much needed information increasing awareness of immature stages of crane fly taxa in the Southern Hemisphere. Several of the larval and pupal characters show close correlation with terrestrial life ways and habitats (Young & Hynes 2003) and also support the placement of Formotipula among the more advanced lineages within Tipulinae.
