Diagnosis

This species is distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characters: Small to moderately small shore flies, body length 1.60–2.45 mm; generally coloration of males and females sexually dimorphic to a degree with females generally less microtomentose. Head: Frons of male densely microtomentose, moderately intensely whitish gray to white, that of female moderately microtomentose, whitish gray microtomentose anterior, becoming less microtomentose, more blackish posteriorly; proclinate fronto-orbital seta 1. Antenna generally yellowish orange (sometimes apex of basal flagellomere and scape darkened); arista bearing 4–6 dorsal rays. Face relatively flat; antennal grooves, especially ventral margins, inconspicuous; face of male densely microtomentose, intensely yellow, that of female less densely microtomentose, silvery white; facial setae inserted close to parafacials, aligned vertically; gena very short, gena-to-eye ratio 0.065–0.072. Maxillary palpus yellowish orange. Thorax: Anterolateral area of mesonotum, just mediad of area from postpronotum through notopleuron, thinly to very thinly microtomentose, subshiny to shiny with some metallic luster; lateral mesonotal area from and including postpronotum and notopleuron in males with thin microtomentum whitish to grayish, similar to central mesonotal microtomentum, not brown; mesonotum of female more thinly microtomentose, appearing blackish with whitish gray microtomentum more sparse; pleural areas generally shiny black with some very thin microtomentum ventrally. Wing mostly hyaline; costal section II conspicuously longer than costal section III by about twice length; costal vein ratio 0.44–0.47; M vein ratio 0.43–0.54; halter stem dark brown; knob white to whitish yellow. Femora black; tibiae blackish brown except for basal and apical extremities black; tarsi mostly yellowish orange. Abdomen: Tergites shiny black. Male terminalia (Figs 45–48): Epandrium in posterior view (Fig. 45) as a broadly rounded, inverted U, width of dorsal portion slightly narrower than lateral arms, lateral arms shallowly arched, in lateral view wider ventrally; cercus in posterior view (Fig. 45) almost evenly semilunate, robustly developed at dorsal and ventral margins; aedeagus in lateral view (Fig. 47) slipper-like, base wide with moderately narrow, thumb-like projection at connection with phallapodeme, tapered more or less evenly to moderately rounded apex, in ventral view (Fig. 47) with basal 1/3 expanded laterally from narrow base, thereafter to apex slightly tapered then parallel to bilobed apex, each lateral lobe as wide as aedeagal base, with thin, short, wing-like, narrow projections sub-basally; phallapodeme in lateral view (Fig. 47) robustly lunate, basal margin broadly and conspicuously rounded, narrowed at each apex, in ventral view (Fig. 46) longer than wide, T-like, with long, apical crossbar, apical margin shallowly emarginate; ejaculatory apodeme in lateral view L-shaped, in ventral view broadly ovate; postgonite in lateral view (Fig. 47) as a parallelogram, acutely pointed basally and apically, bearing 2-3 setulae along basoposterior margin and 1 setula subapically along margin toward hypandrium; pregonite in lateral view (Fig. 47) moderately elongate, almost parallel sided, tapered, narrowed toward aedeagus, narrowly pointed; hypandrium in ventral view (Fig. 46) wide, width almost twice length, broadly and shallowly rounded along anterior margin without lateral projections anterolaterally, but with posterolateral, robust projections, forming a deeply and widely incised posterior margin medially, in lateral view (Fig. 47) nearly straight, narrow, posterior with dished out emargination on posterior 1/3, thereafter anteriorly narrow, very slightly tapered toward anterior margin.

Type material

The lectotype male of Notiphila pulchella Meigen (designated by Cresson 1925[13]: 256) is labeled “pulchella Coll. [Wilhelm von] Winth[em]. [pulchella handwritten]/pulchella [handwritten]/TYPE [dark red].” The lectotype is double mounted, is in poor to fair condition (part of frons, thorax, and rest of abdomen wet; tiny balls on distal part of wing; forelegs with both coxae, left tibia and femur; hindlegs covered with dark brown substance; right wing missing; distal portion of abdomen removed and stored in plastic microvial with glycerin), and is deposited in the NMW.
The holotype female of Clasiopa fulgida Becker is labeled “[Romania. Mehedinți:] Orsova [44°43.5'N, 22°23.8'E] V. 37647 [submarginal border; “Orsova” printed; number handwritten]/Holotypus [red, printed].” The holotype is double mounted, is in moderate condition (abdomen missing), and is deposited in the ZMHU.

Type locality

Not given, Wilhelm von Winthem collection (? Germany, perhaps Hamburg).

Distribution

(Fig. 48). Nearctic: Canada (Alberta, Northwest Territories, Ontario, Yukon Territory). United States (Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin). Palearctic: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Morocco, Romania, Russia (European Territory), Spain.

Remarks

This species is rarely collected and may be uncommon in nature. In the Delmarva States (United States), this species occurs along the coastal plain and in the Alleghany and is expected to be found between these zones.
Although uncommon, this species is relatively distinctive and is similar to Gymnoclasiopa bohemanni, in having pale, usually yellowish maxillary palpi, antennae, and foretibiae. This species is distinguished from Gymnoclasiopa bohemanni as follows (also see key): The anterolateral area of the mesonotum, just mediad of the area from the postpronotum through the notopleuron is thinly microtomentose and is subshiny to shiny with some metallic luster; the lateral mesonotal area from and including the postpronotum and notopleuron in males is thinly whitish microtomentose, similar to the central mesonotal microtomentum; and the midtibiae are dark colored.
