Abstract
The family Deuterophlebiidae is considered the most plesiomorphic Diptera family, with striking morphology and life history. In this study, we provide detailed descriptions and figures of two new species from Southwestern China: Deuterophlebia pseudopoda sp. nov. and Deuterophlebia pachychaeta sp. nov. , along with genetic distances of COI sequences between the seven known Chinese species of Deuterophlebia Edwards, 1922. The two new species can be identified by the adults’ male terminalia, head structures, male and female antennae and mesothoracic spines or abdominal projections of the pupae. As a result, China is currently the country with the highest Deuterophlebia species diversity.
期刊介绍：
Founded in 1857 as Berliner Entomologische Zeitschrift, Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift is one of the World''s oldest international journals of systematic entomology. It publishes original research papers in English on the systematics, taxonomy, phylogeny, comparative morphology, and biogeography of insects. Other arthropods are also considered where of relevance to the biology of insects. The geographical scope of the journal is worldwide.
Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift (DEZ) is dedicated to provide an open access, high-quality forum to contribute to the documentation of insect species, their distribution, their properties, and their phylogenetic relationships. All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer-review by the leading specialists for the respective topic. The journal is published in open access high-resolution PDF, semantically enriched HTML and machine-readable XML versions.
