Introduction
The picture-winged flies (Ulidiidae) are poorly represented in the Oriental and Australasian Regions: of
the 700 species worldwide, only about 40 species occur here (including Oceania, whose fauna has clearly
Neotropical connections and origin). Most Oriental and Papuan species belong in the genus Herina Robineau-
Desvoidy, 1830 and are restricted within the tropical biotae to the high mountain grasslands.
Herina includes about 40 species and is one of the largest and most widespread genera of the family, and
the only ulidiid genus native in the Oriental Region and the Papuan Subregion of the Australasian Region. The
genus has been recently revised for Asia (Kameneva, 2006, 2007; Kameneva, Pljushtch, 2010; Kameneva,
Korneyev, 2012; Morgulis et al., in press; Mohamadzade, Kameneva, in press).
A hitherto undescribed species omitted from these revisions is described and figured below.
Material and methods
The specimens were received from the collection of the Zoological Museum, University of Amsterdam
(now incorporated into the collection of the Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum Naturalis, Leiden).
Morphological terminology follows Kameneva (2006). The type specimens are deposited in collections
of the following institutions:
RMNH – Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum Naturalis, Leiden.
SIZK – I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine.
The following morphometric characters with their abbreviations are used: Body length (BL); wing length
(WL); aculeus length (AL). Morphological terminology follows J. F. McAlpine (1981) and Kameneva (2007).

T yp e s p e c i e s: Rhadinomyia orientalis Schiner, 1868, by monotypy.
D i a gno s i s. This group of species can be separated from other Herina species by
the combination of the following characters: mesonotum sparsely microtrichose, cuticle

visible; postpronotal and acrostichal setae absent, only one supra-alar seta; male: sursty-
lus with conspicuous visor-like mesal lobe bearing 3—5 prensisetae on its ventral side,
female: aculeus wide, 2—2.5× as long as wide, with almost cylindrical, narrow sclerotized
cercal unit < 0.3× as wide as aculeus.
Three described and one new species from the Oriental Region (Malayan Peninsula
to Java): H. orientalis (Schiner, 1868), H. conjuncta (de Meijere, 1914), H. macalpinei
Kameneva, 2006, and H. arjunae sp. n.
Herina arjunae Kameneva, sp. n. (fig. 1—2)
Ma t e r i a l. Holotype {, “Ardjoeno-geb., Java, 2000 m, grasslands, [K. W. ] Dammerman leg.” [hand-
written with ink; no other data of collecting given] (RMNH). Paratypes: 5 }, same labels as in holotype (RMNH,
SIZK).
D i a gno s i s. This species can be recognized by the following combination of cha-
racters: the wing with well-developed subbasal crossband, and with apical crossband allied
to the costa from the apex of cell r1 to vein R4+5 or M, brown spots at the apex of vein
R1 and around crossveins r-m and dm-cu separated forming no crossband; mesonotum
and abdomen sparsely brownish microtrichose, without grey microtrichose bands or vit-
tae; postpronotal and acrostichal setae lacking.
It is very similar to H. orientalis (Schiner) in the wing venation (the vein r-m is sit-
uated at the level of vein R1 apex, and the crossvein dm-cu is distally of it), female (shape
of aculeus: cercal unit small, with posteriorly projected long medial ridge, spermathecae
7—8 times as long as wide) and, apparently, male genitalia, differing from that species
only by the well-developed wing pattern (with brown subbasal and apical bands, and brown
emarginated with crossvein dm-cu (lacking in H. orientalis, except small subapical spot
at apex of the cell r1).
De s c r i p t i o n. Head (fig. 1, 2): length: height: width ratio = 1 : 1.15 : 1.33. Frons
matt, with orange frontal vitta, very narrow silver microtrichose bands along eye mar-

anepisternal setula long; two notopleural, one anepisternal, one katepisternal setae.
Postpronotal and acrostichal seta lacking. All setae and setulae black.
Wing (fig. 2, 4). Hyaline with two brown crossbands and three isolated spots. Basal
costal cell and base of costal cell pale brownish. Subbasal crossband extending from api-
cal half of costal cell through Rs fork slightly over CuA1 vein into base of cua1 cell. Apical
two-thirds of pterostigma brown; discal crossband broken, from apex of R1 reaching to
vein R2+3; isolated brown spot on r-m . Vein dm-cu surrounded by isolated spot. Apical
crossband narrow, reaching from apex of cell r1 to vein M. Vein r-m proximally at level
of R1 apex. R1 vein setulose only on apical half. Postero-apical corner of cell bcu slight-
ly acute. Calypters and halter white.
Legs. Entirely brown, moderately setulose (setae and setulae black), midtibia with
two strong ventroapical setae.
Abdomen. Brown to black (fig. 1, 4), finely and sparsely white microtrichose, with
very short and fine brownish setulae. Tergites 3—5 wide, with lateral margins extending
onto ventral side. Sternites 1—2 trapezoid, 3—4 subquadrate; male sternite 5 1.3 times as
long as wide; membrane between tergites and sternite very narrow. Female tergite 4 fine-
ly pitted, with microtrichia denser than on other tergites, but not hiding underlying cuti-
cle, and with medial area less sclerotised and conspicuously shriveled in all females (fig. 1,
4), similarly to that in H. orientalis (Kameneva, 2006: fig. 77); tergites 5 and 6 shining;
tergite 6 almost half as long as tergite 5; sternites 3—6 with thin antero-medial apodemes;
sternites 5 and 6 trapezoid, sternite 6 1.5 times as wide as long (fig. 2, 9).
Male terminalia. Not dissected in the holotype, in situ looking like those figured for
H. orientalis (Kameneva, 2006: fig. 79—80).
Female terminalia. Oviscape short, as long as tergite 6. Aculeus (fig. 2, 8) wide, with
small, sclerotized cercal unit with medial ridge long, projected posteriorly. Three long,
sausage-like spermathecae, 7—8 times as long as wide (fig. 2, 13): one separate and 2 on
ducts joined far from vagina.
Measurements. WL = 4.8 mm ({), 5.0—5.7 mm (}). BL = 4.0 mm ({),
4.5—5.2 mm (}). AL = 0.65 mm.
E t ymo l o g y. The species is named for its type locality, Mt. Arjuna (Dutch:
Ardjoeno; Javanese: Arjuno), a high volcano, reaching 3,339 m a. s. l. in Eastern Java
(Indonesia); Arjuna (Sanskrit: “bright” or “silver”) is the hero of the Hindu epic
Mahabharata. The name is considered to be a Latinized noun in genitive.
Commen t s. The differences between the flies described here and H. orientalis lie
in the details of the more developed wing pattern, whereas the female and possibly
male genitalia look very similar. H. orientalis is known only from Western Java, and H. arju-
na sp. n. from Eastern Java, representing two isolated mountain populations, either vicari-
ant species, or perhaps, subspecies. Further studies are necessary, if both species are still
extant, as no specimens have not been collected since 1928.
Karel Willem Dammerman (1885—1951), the Dutch naturalist, entomologist and
botanist, curator (1919—1932) and director (1932—1939) of the Zoological Museum in
Buitenzorg (Bogor), director of the Bogor Botanical Gardens (1939—1940) and President
of the Dutch Entomological Society (1947—1951), is known mainly from his studies on
the re-colonization of Krakatau volcano after its explosion in 1883. The type series was
collected between 1910 and 1919; other Diptera material collected in this locality is men-
tioned by Stein (1920).

My thanks are due to Herman de Jong and Ben Brugge (formerly Zoological Museum, University
of Amsterdam) for sending the type series of the new species. I also greatly appreciate valuable critical com-
ments and corrections by David Clements (Cardiff) and an anonymous referee. Valery A. Korneyev
(I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology, Kyiv, Ukraine) assisted me in the preparation of artworks; he also
improved language of an early draft of the paper.
