Description

Sciara solita Walker, 1857

Literature. Sciara solita Walker—Walker (1857): 105; Brunetti (1920): 19; Edwards (1928): 24; Edwards (1931): 489. Lycoriella solita (Walker) — Steffan (1972): 466.

Discussion. Sciara solita Walker was described based on one female from Malaysia (Borneo: Sarawak). One additional sample was found by Edwards (1931) from the lowlands of Northern Borneo (1 male, 14 females from ‘Bettotan’ near Sandakan, Sabah). Brunetti (1920) wrote that the holotype is in BMNH, and in good condition. The original description by Walker (1857) comprises only five lines and is so meagre that the species cannot be identified without studying the type. Of the male found later it is unclear whether it really is S. solita sensu Walker (1857) as there is no description nor figures of this specimen. On this account, Sciara solita Walker, 1857 is removed from the Lycoriella group and placed among the unplaced taxa of Sciaridae (species incertae sedis).
