Abstract: Two new species of Chalastonepsia Søli, 1996 (Diptera: Mycetophilidae), C.
montana sp. nov. (Indonesia, Malaysia) and C. nigricoxa sp. nov. (Thailand), are
described. A new genus, Pectinepsia gen. nov., is proposed for two new species,
P. pulcherrima sp. nov. (Malaysia, type species of the genus) and P. sumatrensis
sp. nov. (Indonesia). New Oriental and Australasian records of Chalastonepsia
hokkaidensis Kallweit, 1998 (Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia,
Papua New Guinea) and C. orientalis Søli, 1996 (Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei,
Indonesia, Papua New Guinea) are presented and hitherto unknown females of both
species are figured.
