Two new species of Ziminellia identified in China, with five new combinations highlighting taxonomic changes.
During our study of the genus Ziminellia (Diptera, Muscidae) from China, two species are recognized as new to science, Z. quadrangula Xue & Nihei, sp. nov. and Z. yunnanensis Xue & Zhang, sp. nov., and their descriptions, illustration and diagnoses are given. Furthermore, five new combinations are proposed from Morellia Robineau-Desvoidy to Ziminellia Nihei & de Carvalho: Z. sordidisquama (Stein, 1918), Z. nigrisquama (Malloch, 1928), Z. sinensis (Ôuchi, 1942), Z. hainanensis (Ni, 1982), and Z. suifenhensis (Ni, 1982). And a key to species of Ziminellia is provided.
