Abstract
Abstract Here we present an intriguing new species of the Empididae genus Rhamphomyia (Pararhamphomyia) from the Kashmir Himalayas. The new species, Rhamphomyia (Pararhamphomyia) aquila, has a distinctive appearance due to its highly deformed male hind legs with extremely shortened hind tibia, a feature very peculiar in the genus. The new species is described along with elements of mating behaviour, the mechanism of male hind leg articulation, and its possible role during mating. Also, scanning electron microscopy analysis is used to elucidate the general morphology and sensilla in both sexes of the new species. Details of the male and female internal reproductive system are described and illustrated. A preliminary checklist of 55 species of the Empididae of India is provided. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:A28B850F-6A2D-4FB2-9AC3-E89015C1C5A7 http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:C0249B1D-D0C8-4998-96A2-C25D3DB89810
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
