First record of Cordyla Meigen and Monoclona Mik from the Oriental region (Diptera: Mycetophilidae).

Abstract

Cordyla orientalis sp. n. and Monoclona laosensis sp. n. are described from the Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos. This is the first record of these principally Holarctic genera from the Oriental region. - The new species of Cordyla belongs to the species group with yellowish coloration, 12 flagellomeres and long stem of Cu-fork, and is thus most closely related to the Palaearctic Cordyla flaviceps (Staeger, 1840) and C. fasciata Meigen, 1830. The new species of Monoclona belongs to the species group with ventrally separated gonocoxites and is closely related to Monoclona silvatica Zaitzev, 1983, M. orientalis Zaitzev, 1983 and M. rufilatera (Walker, 1837).
