Abstract: A new genus of the family Scathophagidae from the Palaearctic Region is

1948. Milania agrion (Séguy, 1948) comb. nov. from Japan and Milania
longiabdomina (Sun, 1992) comb. nov. from Japan and China are redescribed. New
species Miroslava knajfli sp. nov. from Nepal is described. The new monotypic
genus Lubomyia gen. nov. with the type species Lubomyia orientalis sp. nov. from
Burma is described. Comments on generic classification and differential
diagnoses of both new genera and all new species are given and essential
diagnostic characters are illustrated. Acanthocnema longispina Suwa, 1986 is
recorded for the first time from Burma.
