Introduction For over decade, we have continued to survey the chironomid fauna in the Ryukyu Archipelago, espe- cially in the Yaeyama islands (24°17’–24°28’ N, 123°17’–124°10’ E). During this survey, we could confirm three species of the genus Paratendipes Kief- fer are distributed in this area: these are P. irioheius (Sasa et Suzuki, 2000), P. nigrofasciatus Kefir, 1916 and P. tamafuscus Kobayashi et Sasa, 1991. Of these species, P. nigrofasciatus was treated as a senior syno- nym of Chironomus (Prochironomus) bifascipennis Tokunaga, which was described from Taiwan, by Wang and Zheng [1989]. Furthermore, P. irioheius, which was firstly described under the name Prochironomus Kieffer, was placed to a junior synonym of P. nigro- fasciatus by Kobayashi and Endo [2008]. However, we could recognize the former is distinct from the latter through our recent investigation. P. nigrofascia- tus was previously known from Taiwan and China [Kieffer, 1916; Wang, Zheng, 1989]. Therefore, the species is new to Japan. The third species, P. tamafus- cus was previously known only from Kanagawa Pre- fecture, midland of Honshu, Japan. The species is new to Yaeyama islands, Ryukyus. In addition to above- mentioned species, three other species, P. albimanus (Meigen, 1818), P. nubilus (Meigen, 1930) and P. nudi- squama (Edwards, 1929) are known from Japan [Toku- naga, 1965; Yamamoto, 1995, 2000]. In the present paper we describe the female of P. irioheius and rede- scribe P. nigrofasciatus.

IntroductionFor over decade, we have continued to survey the

chironomid fauna in the Ryukyu Archipelago, espe-cially in the Yaeyama islands (24°17’–24°28’ N,123°17’–124°10’ E). During this survey, we couldconfirm three species of the genus Paratendipes Kief-fer are distributed in this area: these are P. irioheius(Sasa et Suzuki, 2000), P. nigrofasciatus Kefir, 1916and P. tamafuscus Kobayashi et Sasa, 1991. Of thesespecies, P. nigrofasciatus was treated as a senior syno-nym of Chironomus (Prochironomus) bifascipennisTokunaga, which was described from Taiwan, by Wangand Zheng [1989]. Furthermore, P. irioheius, whichwas firstly described under the name ProchironomusKieffer, was placed to a junior synonym of P. nigro-fasciatus by Kobayashi and Endo [2008]. However,we could recognize the former is distinct from thelatter through our recent investigation. P. nigrofascia-tus was previously known from Taiwan and China[Kieffer, 1916; Wang, Zheng, 1989]. Therefore, thespecies is new to Japan. The third species, P. tamafus-

cus was previously known only from Kanagawa Pre-fecture, midland of Honshu, Japan. The species is newto Yaeyama islands, Ryukyus. In addition to above-mentioned species, three other species, P. albimanus(Meigen, 1818), P. nubilus (Meigen, 1930) and P. nudi-squama (Edwards, 1929) are known from Japan [Toku-naga, 1965; Yamamoto, 1995, 2000]. In the presentpaper we describe the female of P. irioheius and rede-scribe P. nigrofasciatus.

Material and MethodsThe type specimens of Parachironomus irioheius

deposited in Sasa Collection were loaned from theNational Museum of Nature and Science, Tsukuba(NMST). The type specimens of Chironomus bifasci-pennis deposited in Tokunaga Collection in KyushuUniversity were preserved in alcohol.

Material. Type material: Holotype, #, (NMST Type No.385: 043), Japan, Ryukyus, Okinawa Prefecture, YaeyamaIslands, Iriomote Island, Funauki, Kuira River, sweep net,2.VII.1999, H. Suzuki; paratypes: 5##, (NMST 385: 40–42,47–48), the same locality as holotype; 1#, (NMST 385: 29), thesame place, Ishigaki Island, Mt. Omotodake, 1.VII.1999. Addi-tional material: 3##; 4$$, idem, 21.VI.2005, M. & N. Yamamo-to; 2##; 3$$, idem, Hoshino; 1$, Iriomote Island, Uehara,21.III.2000, M. Yamamoto; 4$$, idem, Kanpira Falls, 17.XI.2001;2##, idem, 20.XI.2001.

Diagnostic characters. The species can be separatedfrom Paratendipes nigrofasciatus Kieffer in the followingcharacters: antennal ratio of 0.48–0.59; fuscous wing lackinganal lobe; superior volsella slenderer than that of the latter.

Male (Figs 1–2). The detailed description was given bySasa and Suzuki [2000: 16–17]. The following can be add-ed to the original description: scutum with small but distincthumeral pit; fuscous wing with anal lobe absent (Fig. 1F);fore tibia with a slender terminal spur.

Female (n=7, unless otherwise stated). Total length 1.7–2.3, 2.0 mm. Wing 1.0–1.3 mm long, 0.3–0.4 mm wide;wing length/wing width 2.74–3.15, 2.89.

Coloration. Head including antenna and mouthpartbrown. Thorax including pleura brown in color; scutal vit-tae, scutellum and postnotum dark brown. Halter yellowishwhite. Wing membrane largely tinged with brown, with twodistinct transverse broad bands. Legs predominantly yel-lowish white; all coxae brown, all trochanters yellowishbrown; all femora brown except yellowish white bases, tarsislightly darkened apically. Abdomen entirely dark brown.Cercus yellowish brown.

Head (Fig. 3 A–C). Temporal setae 9–12, uniserial.Flagellomere lengths (in µm): 76–94, 82; 52–56, 54 (6);54–60, 57 (4); 46–50 (3); 80–90 (3); with 9–11, 5–6, 5–6,6, 1 setae, respectively. Last antennal flagellomere withsubapical seta. Palpomere lengths (in µm): 30–40, 36; 34–42, 39; 88–102, 95; 110–118, 115 (6); 160–182, 173 (5);palpomeres with 0, 6–11, 24–29, 23–26, 14–16 setae, re-spectively; third palpomere with 4 sensilla clavata. Clypeuswith 17–21 setae. Cornua well developed.

Thorax (Fig. 3 D–E). Humeral pit small but distinct.Lateral antepronotal 0; dorsocentrals 15–20, including 5–7humerals, uniserial (6); acrostichals 9–14 (6), biserial; pre-alars 3 (6). Scutellum with 10–15 setae (5), biserial.

Wing (Fig. 3 F). Anal lobe absent. VR 1.30–1.41, 1.35.R, R1 and apical 1/2–3/4 of R4+5 with 9–15, 5–10, 12–21setae, respectively. Brachiolum with 2 medaian setae; with8–11 (5) basal, 3 median (6), and 7–9 (5) subapical sensillacampaniformia. Squama without seta (6).

Legs (Fig. 3 G). Scale of fore tibia low, rounded, withshort, slender apical spur. Fore, mid and hind coxae with2–5 (5), 4–6 (6), 3–5 (5) marginal setae, respectively; fore,mid and hind trochanters with 5–10 (4), 5–7 (5), 4–6 (4)marginal setae, respectively. Lengths and proportions oflegs as in Table 1.

Genitalia (Fig. 4 A–C). Sternum VIII with 15–16 (6)setae on each side. Laterostenite of T IX with 1–2 setae.Notum as long as length of sternum VIII, 136–160, 150 (5)µm long. Egg-guide large, not divided into two lobes. Post-gental plate slender and long.

Remarks. Sasa and Suzuki [2000] described Prochi-ronomus irioheius as distinct from Chironomus (Prochi-ronomus) bifascipennis Tokunaga in having an antennalratio of 0.48–0.59 against 0.91, the superior volsella widestat base against at middle. But the latter statement is wrongas shown in Fig. 2. The species was described as the genusProchironomus Kieffer because of lacking a terminal spuron the fore tibia. However, we could confirm the terminalspur on the fore tibia in some additional specimens. There-fore, it is distinct that the species is belonging to the genusParatendipes Kieffer. On the other hand, C. bifascipenniswas placed as a junior synonym of Paratendipes nigrofas-ciatus Kieffer by Wang and Zheng [1989]. Furthermore,Kobayashi and Endo [2008] concluded that Prochironomisirioheius is a junior synonym of P. nigrofasciatus based onthe shapes of superior and median volsellae, and peculiarwing markings. However, we concluded that P. irioheius is

an independent species distinct from P. nigrofasciatus bythe following characters: antennal ratio of 0.48–0.59, fus-cous wing with two distinct dark brown broad transversebands and lacks the anal lobe, and the superior volsellalonger than that of the latter species. On the other hand,

P. irioheius shares the distinct humeral pit with P. nigrofas-ciatus in both sexes.

Habitat. The species were collected on forest paths alonga narrow stream in evergreen broad leaved forest.
