03B71833FFF1FFB3FF3CFF61FE39FD89.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This genus is similar to Tephrochlaena, but may be separated from the latter by the dorsocentral bristle present before suture. In Tephrochlaena, the dorsocentral bristle before suture is present (Papp, 1998; Lo Giudice & Woźnica, 2020).	en	Zeng, Wei, Xu, Xingnong, Yang, Ding (2023): Subfamily Heteromyzinae newly recorded from China with description of one new species (Diptera: Heleomyzidae).

03B71833FFF1FFB0FF3CFD72FC5BFB37.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species is similar to T. laeta Meigen, but may be separated from the latter by the following features: (1) body longer (body length 7.0 – 7.2 mm); (2) six rows of acrostichal bristles. In T. laeta, the body is shorter (3.5 – 4.0 mm), and four rows of acrostichal bristles are present between the postsutural dorsocentral bristles.	en	Zeng, Wei, Xu, Xingnong, Yang, Ding (2023): Subfamily Heteromyzinae newly recorded from China with description of one new species (Diptera: Heleomyzidae).
