The genus Macquartia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera, Tachinidae) with 29 known species is a large group of Macquartiini of Tachininae and widely distributed in the Old World and the Nearctic Region.

New information

In this study, Chinese specimens of Macquartia were collected and examined, sixteen species are recognised: thirteen previously described, M. brunneisqua Zhang et Li, M. chinensis Zhang et Li, M. flavifemorata Zhang et Li, M. flavipedicel Zhang et Li, M. chalconota (Meigen), M. dispar (Fallén), M. grisea (Fallén), M. macularis Villeneuve, M. nudigena Mesnil, M. picta (Meigen), M. pubiceps (Zetterstedt), M. tenebricosa (Meigen) and M. viridana Robineau-Desvoidy and three species new to science, M. barkamensis sp. n. (Sichuan), M. setifacies sp. n. (Qinghai) and M. sichuanensis sp. n. (Sichuan). An identification key to the sixteen species of Macquartia known from China is included, along with 80 anatomical figures.

Introduction

The genus Macquartia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera, Tachinidae, Tachininae) comprising 29 known species in the tribe Macquartiini is widely distributed in the Old World and the Nearctic Region. Macquartia represents one of the most ancient evolutionary lineages of tachinids, parasitising Chrysomelidae larvae (O’Hara et al. 2020, Li et al. 2022). Herting (1960) reported the biology of seven Macquartia species in the western Palaearctic Region. Mesnil (1972) reported three genera of Macquartiina (= Macquartiini) in Die fliegen in the Palaearctic Region, two of which (Bebricia and Macquartia) included 11 species now recognised in the Macquartia. Chao et al. (1998) reported six species from China with the key and O’ Hara et al. (2009) catalogued six species of Macquartia from China. In Europe, Tschorsnig and Herting (1994) provided a detailed key to the ten Central European species. Cerretti (2006) reported nine species of Macquartia in the west Palaearctic Region. Stireman III et al. (2019) reported tribes Macquartiini (M. tenebricosa, M. tessellum) and Myiophasiini form a clade sister to all other Tachinidae. We follow Mesnil (1972), Tschorsnig and Herting (1994) and Tschorsnig and Richter (1998) in our treatment of Macquartia and characterise the genus with generic definition. Li et al. (2022) recently reported four new species of Macquartia from Dalaoling Nature Reserve, Hubei, China and phylogenetic implications of Tachinidae. In this study, we examined more than 1130 specimens of Macquartia, mainly from China, three new species are described and compared (Table 1) and the diagnoses of thirteen known species are given, based on examined material and related data. Additionally, we provide a key to the sixteen species known from China, along with 80 anatomical figures and the known distributions of 12 species of Macquartia in China.

Materials and methods

The material examined and types during this study are housed in the following collections:

  • BFU Insect Collection, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing, China;
  • BLKU Biosystematics Laboratory, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan;
  • IZCAS National Zoological Museum, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China;
  • SYNU Insect Collection of Shenyang, Normal University, Shenyang, China.

The morphological terminology and measurements used in the descriptions follow Cumming and Wood (2017) and additional terms with restricted application to the taxa are used by the authors (i.e. terms used following Tschorsnig and Richter (1998). The specimens were examined with Zeiss Stemi SV11 stereomicroscopes. Consecutive digital images of heads, abdomens and bodies of male adults were taken with a Leica 205A microscope and images were blended with Leica Application Suite Version 4.12.0. Dissections of male terminalia were carried out following the method described by O’Hara (2002) and dissected terminalia were stored in glycerine in plastic microvials pinned together with the source specimen. The tachinid specimens of this study are deposited in the Insect Collection of Shenyang Normal University, Shenyang (SYNU).

Female. Unknown.

Diagnosis

Parafacial hairy only on upper half. Palpi reddish-yellow to brown. Two katepisternal setae. Lower calyptrae divergent from scutellum. Mid-tibia with 1 anterodorsal seta. Abdominal syntergite 1+2 not medially excavate to its posterior margin, separately with two pairs of lateral marginal and lateral discal setae, 3rd tergite with 4 median marginal and a pair of lateral marginal setae and 2 median discal and a pair of lateral discal setae, 4th tergite with a row of discal setae.

Etymology

The specific epithet is taken from a locality of this species, i.e. Barkam = Maerkang City, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan, China.

Distribution

Oriental China (collected once from Maerkang City, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan).

Remarks

This species is similar to M. grisea (Fallén), but it is distinguished from the latter in having 2 katepisternal setae, 3rd tergite with 4 median marginal and 2 median discal setae and a pair of lateral discal setae, 4th tergite separately with a row of marginal and discal setae.

Diagnosis

Parafacial bare, palpi dark. Two presutural and 3 postsutural dorsocentral setae, 3 katepisternal setae. Lower calyptrae divergent from scutellum. Mid-tibia with 1 anterodorsal seta. Abdomen with sparse pruinosity, syntergite 1+2 medially excavate to base, with a pair of lateral marginal setae, without median marginal and discal seta, 3rd tergite with a complete row of marginal and 2 median discal setae, 4th tergite separately with a row of discal and marginal setae.

Etymology

The specific epithet is taken from a locality of this species, i.e. Sichuan, China.

Distribution

Oriental China (Chongqing, Sichuan).

Remarks.

This species is similar with M. barkamensis sp. n. in appearance, but it is distinguished from the latter in having bare parafacial, dark brown palpi, 3 katepisternal setae, syntergite 1+2 with two pairs of lateral marginal setae, 3rd tergite with a complete row of marginal setae.

Lower calyptrae divergent from scutellum. Fore claw of male longer than or as long as 5th tarsomere. Mid-tibia with 2-5 anterodorsal setae, hind tibia with 2 pre-apical dorsal setae. Mid-dorsal excavation of abdominal syntergite 1+2 not extending to its posterior margin, with 2 strong median marginal setae in male and weak setae in female, 4th tergite with 2-4 median discal setae. Male terminalia (Fig. 10). Sternite 5 nearly square-shaped, base flattened, the depth of V-shaped median cleft about 2/3 of the sternite, inner margin of posterior lobe long and pointed apically.
