Diptera Dolichopodidae Rhaphium China new species

Abstract

There are 26 species of Rhaphium recorded from China, including the following six species described as new to science: Rhaphium apophysatum sp. nov., R. bilobum sp. nov., R. bisectum sp. nov., R. daqinggouense sp. nov., R. dorsiseta sp. nov., R. neimengense sp. nov. Two new groups: the R. flavilabre and R. bilobum species groups are proposed. A key to the species of Rhaphium from China is provided.
