The Clusiidae and Tethinidae (Diptera) of Malaysia

Abstract

Two new species of the Clusiidae, Clusiodes iotoides and Czernyola fiavofemorata, are described from Malaysia. The former species is remarkable in having the I-shaped marking on yellow mesonotum, and was found in the Sepilok Forest Reserve, Sabah. The latter species is characteristic in having the entirely yellow legs, and was found at the foot of Mt. Kinabalu, Sabah. Heteromeringia melaena SASAKAWA and Czernyola pleuralis CURRAN, and one tethinid, Dasyrhicnoessa ferruginea (LAMB) were recorded for the first time from Malaysia.
