            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Mexico.</p>
            <p>Habitat.</p>
            <p>Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt pine-oak forests ecoregion.</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Romaleosyrphus arctophiloides is the only known member of  Romaleosyrphus in which the hind trochanter is not tuberculate in the male. Although males are not known for  Romaleosyrphus argosi sp. nov.,  R. drysus sp. nov. and  R. woodi sp. nov., males of their closest relative in the COI gene tree,  R. nephelaeus sp. nov., possess a tuberculate hind trochanter. It is therefore expected that males of these three species also have a tuberculate hind trochanter. </p>
            <p> We suspect that a single specimen  “CNC_Diptera142464” collected in the Sierra Madre Occidental may represent a distinct species from specimens collected in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt pine-oak forests. Although no genital or discrete morphological differences could be found, the legs of this specimens are fully black pilose while those of all the others have a streak of yellow pile at the base of the fore and mid femora. Unfortunately, while a barcode was obtained for this specimen, no barcode sequences were obtained from specimens from specimens collected in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt pine-oak forests. </p>

            <p>Differential diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Romaleosyrphus is separated from  Criorhina and  Sphecomyia by the combination of the following characters. Male eye contiguous for ca. 1/2 length of ocellar triangle. Oval shaped postpedical. Broad intersection of vein R1 with vein C. Proximal ventral half of vein C with setae. Abdominal pile appressed. Male genitalia with phallapodeme keeled and laterally sclerotized, not banana-shaped. It is further distinguished from  Matsumyia by a distal part of vein R4+5 beyond vein M1 longer than cross-vein h. </p>
            <p>Redescription.</p>
            <p>MALE. Body length: 13.0-17.1 mm. Wing length: 8.0-12.1 mm.</p>
            <p>Head. Face black, produced downwards and completely pruinose, concave beneath antenna, tuberculate; gena broad, as broad or broader than long, bare, shiny, pilose posteriorly; anterior tentorial pit short, extending along ventral third of eye, pilose; frontal prominence distinct; frons broad and pruinose; vertex triangular, longer than broad and always pilose; ocellar triangle small; eye bare, contiguous for ca. 1/2 length of ocellar triangle; head oval in shape; length of antenna segments in a 3:3:2 ratio; postpedical oval, with bare arista dorsally placed.</p>
            <p>Thorax. Ca. as long as broad, long pilose; postpronotum pilose; proepimeron pilose; anterior anepisternum bare, posterior anepisternum pilose; scutellum without apical sulcus and with ventral pile fringe; katepisternum bare anteriorly, discontinuously pilose posteriorly with broadly separated patches; anepimeron with anterior portion pilose, and dorsomedial and posterior portion bare; katepimeron bare; metathoracic pleuron bare; without hypopleural pile at the base of the posterior thoracic spiracle; meron bare; metathoracic spiracle ca. same size as postpedical; metasternum pilose; postmetacoxal bridge incomplete; plumula simple, elongate, short, not reaching calypteral margin; calypter brown.</p>
            <p>Legs. Coxae pilose anteriorly, bare posteriorly; hind trochanter sometimes tuberculate in male; metafemur swollen, curved, with large apicoventral ridge and without basiventral setose patch; metatibia transverse apically, rounded basiventrally.</p>
            <p> Wing. Cell r1 open; stigmatic cross vein present; cross-vein r-m at outer  ¼ of cell dm; broad intersection of vein R1 with vein C (Fig. 3); vein R4+5 straight; distance between apices of veins R1 and R2+3 longer than distance between apices of veins R2+3 and vein R4+5; distal part of vein R4+5 beyond vein M1 (hereafter distal vein R4+5) longer than cross-vein h (Fig. 3); vein M2 absent; vein CuP+CuA short, curved; proximal ventral half of vein C with setae. </p>
            <p>Abdomen. Oval, slightly longer than broad, with dense appressed pile.</p>
            <p>Male genitalia. Surstyli symmetric; aedeagus segmented, with phallapodeme separated from basiphallus and distiphallus; phallapodeme rounded, not banana-shaped; well-developed ctenidion present in male genitalia.</p>
            <p>FEMALE. As male except for the following character states. Eyes widely separated; frons fully brown pruinose; face without pruinosity; metafemur only slightly swollen, never curved or with apicoventral ridge; metatibia never modified; always without tubercle on hind trochanter; wing always less microtrichose with species-specific characters as in species description.</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Generally, species of  Romaleosyrphus show little variation in pile color patterns, at least given the limited material we worked with. However, there are a few exceptions.  Romaleosyrphus soletluna Moran &amp; Thompson, sp. nov. is drastically dimorphic in pile coloration with a mostly orange morph and mostly black morph. The single northern specimen of  Romaleosyrphus arctophiloides from the Sierra Madre Occidental has fully black pilose legs. This contrasts with the population surrounding Mexico City, from which the type was collected, which have a streak of yellow pile at the base of the fore and mid femora. Finally, pile color on the proepimeron is variable inside multiple species with observed character states being fully yellow, fully black or a mix of the two. We suspect that additional material will likely show proepimeron pile color to be variable in all species. </p>

            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p>Color morphs are considered to be intraspecific variation. No morphological differences were found outside of pile coloration in male genitalia or external characters. Additionally, these morphs are not associated with distinct COI haplotypes. It is difficult to argue in favor of interspecific variation without the addition of contradictory genetic evidence or fieldwork showing these morphs do not interbreed.</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> Named  Romaleosyrphus soletluna , a combination of the Latin words sol, for sun, and luna, for the moon. It is a reference to the duality of the color morphs in this species. It is a noun in apposition. </p>

            <p>Differential diagnosis. Scutellum only partly yellow pilose, black pilose anteromedially. Tergite II black pilose in posterolateral corners. Tergite III black pilose except yellow pilose anteromedially. Cell r2+3 bare along margin of vein R4+5 starting from 2/5 of length of cell and ending at cross-vein r-m.</p>
            <p>Description. FEMALE. Body length: 13.1 mm. Wing length: 9.1 mm.</p>

            <p>Thorax. Matte black; postpronotum mixed black and yellow pilose; scutum black pilose, except yellow pilose along lateral margins; scutellum yellow pilose, except black pilose anteromedially; postalar callus yellow pilose; proepimeron black pilose; posterior anepisternum yellow pilose; katepisternum yellow pilose posteriorly with broadly separated patches; metasternum mixed black and yellow pilose; anepimeron with anterior portion yellow pilose; lower calypter with long black pile.</p>
            <p>Legs. Coxae black; femora black except extreme apex of femora; remainder of legs reddish; fore and mid-coxae black pilose; hind coxa mixed black and yellow pilose; fore femur black pilose, except small mix of yellow pile basally; mid femur black pilose, but with stretch of yellow pile on posterior side; hind femur black pilose; tibiae and tarsi black pilose.</p>
            <p>Wing. Microtrichia absent in following areas: cell c along margin of vein Sc running from 2/5 of length and ending at 4/5 of length of the cell, anterior 1/5 of cell r1, r2+3 along margin of vein R4+5 starting from 2/5 of length and ending at cross-vein r-m, cell br except along spurious vein and the part right below the start of cell r2+3, all of cell cua except extreme posterior, cell bm, cell cup along the margin of vein CuP in the anterior third of cell, cell m4 from cross-vein m-cu to end of vein M4 and cell dm in ventral 1/3 of cell and along broad margin following vein M2.</p>
            <p>Abdomen. Tergites shiny to subshiny black; tergite I with scattered, yellow pile medially, except with short black pile in lateral corners; tergite II with dense yellow pile which runs diagonally from anterolateral corner until it reaches the posterior margin at a point which is ca. at 1/3 of the width of the tergite, remainder of tergite is black pilose; tergite III with black pile except mixed yellow pile anteromedially; tergite IV with black pile; tergites not distinctly pruinose; sternites I-III yellow pilose and not pruinose; sternite IV black pilose; pile of postabdomen black.</p>
            <p>MALE. Unknown.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Mexico.</p>
            <p>Habitat.</p>
            <p>Central American pine-oak forests ecoregion.</p>
            <p> Remarks. The specimen failed to barcode. Most similar in appearance to  Romaleosyrphus drysus sp. nov. but  R. woodi sp. nov. differs in having a scutellum which is only partly yellow pilose, instead having black pile anteromedially. Additionally, cell r2+3 is bare along the margin of vein R4+5 starting from 2/5 the length of cell and ending at cross-vein r-m. </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> Named after dipterologist Monty Wood to honor his passion for flies and whose collecting trips throughout Central and South America provided many critical  Syrphidae for this as well as other future studies. </p>
