Abstract

The genus Onesia (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is essentially Australasian/Oceanian and Palaearctic Regions in distribution. Two new species of the genus from China are described, viz. Onesia dynatophallus Xue & Bai sp. nov and Onesia franzaosternita Xue & Dong sp. nov. A key to Onesia species in China and a map of their distribution are given. The type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Shenyang Normal University.

Onesia is a genus of Calliphoridae (Diptera) and most of Onesia species are distributed in the Australasian/Oceanian and Palaearctic Regions. According to current data, there are 61 species of Onesia in the world, including 28 Palaearctic, 23 Australasian/Oceanian species, and 7 Oriental. In addition 2 species are common to the Palaearctic and Oriental regions, and one to the Oriental and Australasian/Oceanian regions (Rognes 1991, 1997, 1998; Schumann 1964, 1974, 1986; Verves 2004, 2005; Verves & Khrokalo 2006). Most Australasian/Oceanian species were listed by Kurahashi (1989), and most East Palaearctic and oriental species have been reported by Kano & Shinonaga (1968), Kurahashi (1986, 1989); Kurahashi & Jayasekera (1989); Fan (1992, 1997); Xue (2005); Xue & Chao (1998); and Xue & Wang (2006).

A faunistic analysis of the Onesia species from China is reported herein for the first time. The majority of the Chinese species are found in the Hengduan Mountains which are located between 27°-35°N and 99°–105°E (Fig. 23).

METHODS AND MATERIALS

Absolute measurements in millimeters (mm) are used for body length. Abbreviations have the following meaning: acr = acrostichal setae; dc = dorsocentral setae; ial = intra-alar setae; pra = prealar setae; p = posterior setae; v = ventral setae; ad = anterodorsal setae; pd = posterodorsal setae; av = anteroventral setae; pv = posteroventral setae. The distribution map was made with the software of ArcView GIS 3.2.

    The Faunistic Analysis of Onesia From China

    The majority of the species of Onesia in China are distributed in the Hengduan Mountains Region (Fig. 23), an area between the Oriental and Palaearctic regions, with some species distributed in the north regions of China, Far Eastern region of Russia, the Korea peninsula, and Japan. Species are known from south China, Malaysia, Philippines and Sri Lanka of the Oriental region.
