“…In contrast, at the species group level, Taiwan has no endemic species groups. Other members of species groups described in this paper (arisanensis, bicornigera, coxitalis, deserrata, divisotergata, immota, and subtincta) are distributed in Oriental and East Palaearctic regions with the main diversity in northern India and China, but also Indochina, with T. (V.) verecunda reaching S. Korea, Japan, and the far east of Russia [49]. This suggests preliminarily that the Taiwanese T. (Vestiplex) fauna has a remarkable affinity with that of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.…”

“…Males of the deserrata group can be recognized by the following features: ter divided at midline by pale membrane. Ventral portion with a pair of blackene microscopically roughened or serrulated lobes shaped as finger, rod, spine, or Gonocoxite bispinuous, apically produced into a strong black spine, lobe, or curved Ventromesal portion of gonocoxite in the shape of short spine, horn, or black Sternite 9 with dorsal lobe of A9s reduced into a small, round, oval, finger-li spinuous sclerite located nearby margin of junction of gonocoxite with sternite 9 [3 Females are illustrated for Taiwanese species and T. (V.) serricauda Alexander ( [49]: Figures 38-41). Hypovalvae short, plate-shaped, median incision be hypovalvae basally with slightly serrated or smooth edge and provided with setae.…”

The crane fly subgenus Tipula (Vestiplex) Bezzi, 1924 (Diptera, Tipulidae) of Taiwan is taxonomically reviewed, entailing the recognition of 18 species, with six of these species newly described, including T. (V.) diamondi sp. nov., T. (V.) formosae sp. nov., T. (V.) graciliana sp. nov., T. (V.) pseudobiserra sp. nov., T. (V.) survilai sp. nov., and T. (V.) taiwanica sp. nov. Three species, T. biaciculifera Alexander, 1937, T. niitakensis Alexander, 1938, and T. pseudobiaciculifera Men, Xue and Wang, 2016, listed previously as members of the subgenus T. (Pterelachisus) Rondani, 1842, are now formally placed as member taxa within T. (Vestiplex). Tipula subnata Alexander, 1949 and T. (V.) longarmata Yang and Yang, 1999 are designated as junior synonyms of T. (V.) coxitalis Alexander, 1935; T. (V.) nokonis Alexander, 1935 is designated as a junior synonym of T. (V.) terebrata Edwards, 1921; and T. (V.) takahashiana Alexander, 1938 is designated as a junior synonym of T. (V.) bicornigera Alexander, 1938. Included in this taxonomic revision are a key to species, species diagnoses for all species, complete descriptions for newly described species, and illustrations of the male genitalia for all species, and for female terminalia when available. DNA barcode sequences for all Taiwanese species of T. (Vestiplex) are provided. Males are associated with conspecific females based on CO1 results and maximum likelihood trees resulting from the analyses are presented. The Taiwan fauna of Tipula (Vestiplex) is highly endemic with 16 of the 18 species restricted to the island. At the species group level, no groups are endemic to Taiwan and the groups show closest biogeographic relationships to the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau.

Tipuloidea (crane flies) is one of the most species-rich groups of Diptera, including over 15,000 species worldwide, with a wide variety of habitats. However, relatively less attention has been paid to the larvae of crane fly in contrast to the better-known adults. In this study, Tipula (Pterelachisus) cinereocincta mesacantha Alexander, 1934 is added into the fauna of China, which larvae were found beneath a piece of moss in a forest of eastern Liaoning. The external structures of the larva are described thoroughly with light microscopic illustrations. Meanwhile, with scanning electron microscopy, more detailed structures of the larval head capsule, the antenna and the mouthparts, are firstly present for the larvae of Tipula (Pterelachisus). Some microscopic structures, including the paired peg-like sensilla on the central teeth of epipharynx, and a pair of cushiony lobes anterior to the teeth, are newly recorded for the crane fly larva. Morphological differences and variations of the larval structures between T. (P.) cinereocincta mesacantha and its related species or genera are discussed. The discovery would provide new data and insights for the further research on the taxonomy and phylogeny, as well as some evidences of the biology and adaption of crane fly larvae.
