    Previously, there were ten known species in the genus Argyra Macquart from China. In this paper, the following three species from Sichuan Province of China are described as new to science: Argyra longicornis sp. n., Argyra pingwuensis sp. n. and Argyra sichuanensis sp. n. A key to the known species of Argyra from China is provided

    The mitochondrial genome of Gymnopternus bomiensis (Yang, ) (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) has been reported in this study. This is the first mitogenome representative of Gymnopternus. The sequenced region is determined to be 15,212 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a partial A-T rich region. The nucleotide composition biased toward A and T, and the overall A + T% was up to 74.0%. Additionally, we reconstructed the phylogeny of relative species using 13 PCRs and two rRNAs. Bayesian inference analysis strongly supported the monophyly of Dolichopodinae. It also suggested that Gymnopternus is the sister group of Dolichopus

    The subfamily Xanthochlorinae comprises a single genus Xanthochlorus, and is rare in collections. Previously, there were four known species in the genus Xanthochlorus from China. In this paper, the species of the Xanthochlorus from China are reviewed. The following two species from Gansu Province of China are described as new to science: Xanthochlorus gansuensis sp. n. and Xanthochlorus tewoensis sp. n. A key to species of the Xanthochlorus from China is provided
