Abstract
The genus Spilomyia (Insecta, Diptera, Syrphidae) consists of 39 species worldwide. One species previously listed from South Asia as Spilomyia manicata (Rondani, 1865), is herein described as a new species, Spilomyia recta van Steenis, Maqbool & Wachkoo sp. n. The new taxon represents the only valid species of Spilomyia from India and Pakistan and the third species known from Afghanistan and thus occurring in both the Palaearctic and Oriental region. Morphologically it is similar to the European species Spilomyia manicata, however based on the features of the male genitalia and molecular COI data the species is more closely related with S. diophthalma. Both morphological and molecular characteristics clearly separate these three species. Descriptions, diagnoses, high quality images, and phylogenetic relationships are presented. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:78A9D482-468F-41EB-B602-D854AE159327.
