“…The specimens from northern Thailand and central Cambodia correspond entirely to the description and figures given by Zhang et al (2009). Especially the widening of the costa where the R 1 joins the costa as is drawn by Zhang et al (2009) but not mentioned in the description.…”

“…n. resembles very much L.dentalis Zhang et al 2009 described from the Yunnan province (China). It differs in that L.dentalis has a broadening of the costa at the level where the R 1 joins the costa (Zhang et al 2009, Figure 1). L.semakau sp.…”

“…Especially the widening of the costa where the R 1 joins the costa as is drawn by Zhang et al (2009) but not mentioned in the description. The new records are not unlikely since the locality in the Loei province (Thailand) and the one in Cambodia are not so far from the southern Yunnan province (China) that is the type locality of this species.…”

“…There are 22 species known in the world: 16 from the Afrotropical Region (Grichanov 1998, 2004), four species are present in the Oriental Region (Yang et al 2011; Zhang et al 2009), and two species are known from Australia (Yang et al 2006; Bickel 2008; Grichanov 2011). …”

“…In addition, the single type of L.coxalis Kertész, 1901 is probably destroyed (Foldvary and Papp 2007). Zhang et al (2009) were the first to illustrate detailed male terminalia of Oriental Lichtwardtia . They assumed that a male according to the re-description by Becker (1922) belonged to the iconic L.ziczac or L.zickzack as Becker (1922) spelled it.…”

In the present paper the Oriental species of the genus Lichtwardtia Enderlein, 1912 are revised based on the type material of known species and new material from Singapore and Cambodia. A re-description and illustration of the holotype female of Lichtwardtiaziczac (Wiedemann, 1824) is given but since it has been described on the basis of a female only and its provenance India Orientalis is only a vague indication of its type locality, it is considered as a nomen dubium. All the species put as junior synonyms by Becker (1922) of L.ziczac are re-established to their original status with diagnosis: Lichtwardtiapolychroma (Loew, 1864) and Lichtwardtiaformosana Enderlein, 1912. However, L.coxalis is now also considered as a nomen dubium since the original description is too short to distinguish it from other species and the holotype female is lost. In addition a re-description and illustrations of L.hirsutiseta (de Meijere, 1916) are provided. Eight new species for science are described and illustrated: Lichtwardtiacambodiensis Tang & Grootaert, sp. n. (Cambodia), Lichtwardtiaconspicabilis Tang & Grootaert, sp. n. (Cambodia), Lichtwardtiainfuscata Tang & Grootaert, sp. n. (Cambodia), Lichtwardtiamonstruosa Tang & Grootaert, sp. n. (Cambodia), Lichtwardtianodulata Grootaert & Tang, sp. n. (Singapore), Lichtwardtiasemakau Grootaert & Tang, sp. n. (Singapore) and Lichtwardtiasingaporensis Grootaert & Tang, sp. n. (Singapore). Lichtwardtiazhangae Tang & Grootaert, sp. n. (Bali, Indonesia) is a new name for the species described by Zhang, Masunaga & Yang, 2009, as Lichtwardtiaziczac (Wiedemann, 1824). There are only a few good diagnostic non-genitalic characters for the species, but the male terminalia are distinctive, from simple to very complicated and armed structures. A key is given to the species of the Oriental region. Barcodes are provided for the Singaporean species.Although Lichtwardtia is a common genus in Southeast Asia it is generally not abundant locally. It is often found in anthropogenic disturbed habitats only. Four species are recorded from Singapore while eight species are sympatric and very abundant at the locality of Siem Reap in Cambodia.

The long-legged fly Lichtwardtia dentalis Zhang, Masunaga et Yang, 2009 belongs to the subfamily Dolichopodinae of Dolichopodidae. The newly sequenced mitogenome of L. dentalis is a new representative of the subfamily. The nearly complete mitogenome is 15,124 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs). All genes have similar locations and encoding directions with that of other published mitogenomes of Dolichopodidae. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T with the overall A þ T % is 73.9%. All protein-coding genes initiate with standard start codon ATN except COI and NAD1, and TAA/TAG are conventionally used as stop codons. All tRNAs, ranging from 62 to 71 bp, have a clover-leaf structure. Based on the result of the phylogenetic analysis, Dolichopodidae and Empididae were monophyletic, and the relationships among subfamilies of Dolichopodidae were Diaphorinae þ (Peloropeodinae þ (Xanthochlorinae þ (Medeterinae þ Dolichopodinae))). The monophyly of the subfamily Dolichopodinae and the sister relationship between Dolichopus and Lichtwardtia were also strongly supported.

On the basis of comparison between the female holotype of Dolichopus nimbatus Parent and the female paratype of D. balius Meuffels, and comparison of a male paratype of D. balius with the description of D. thalhammeri Knézy, D. balius and D. thalhammeri are designated junior synonyms of D. nimbatus. Dolichopus nimbatus ranges from northern France and Belgium to southern Turkey. Ecological features might explain its rarity in collections.
