Popis: Cheilosia gilva sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: A937C4FF-9377-4B0A-85B8-0A6FBA8C2523 Figs 24–26 Differential diagnosis Cheilosia (Montanocheila) gilva sp. nov. differs from all members of subgenus Montanocheila by very unusual and distinct structure of male genitalia (Fig. 24C–E) and by presence of pilosity on face and eye, and lacking long, strong bristles on scutum and scutellum. Etymology The specific epithet is from the Latin ‘ gilvus ’, meaning ‘pale-yellow’ and refers to the yellowish pilosity.
