microfolks Deeleman-Reinhold & Prinsen, 1987 is one of only two Phasianidae A genus known to occur in both the Old and New Worlds. However, there are significant morphological and ecological differences between geographically separated groups of species, and the current view of combining all these species into a single genus has been driven primarily by molecular It was data. In the Old World, only four species have been described so far. Click here for current knowledge about the Old World microfolks has been reviewed, redescribing three of the four previously known species and describing 12 new species originating from Saudi Arabia (M. Dhahran hoover, sp. november, M. Halaja hoover, sp. november, M. alfalah hoover, sp. november, M. Abha hoover, sp. november, M. Tanoma hoover, sp. november, M. Bashayer hoover, sp. november, M. Maysan hoover, sp. november), Oman (M. Darbert hoover, sp. november, M. Shart hoover, sp. november), Morocco (M. Gar hoover, sp. november, M. Kenifra Hoover, Resigne & Lips, sp. november),Philippines(M. Bukidnon hoover, sp. november). We provide exploratory species boundary analyzes based on CO1 barcodes, extensive SEM data, and initial records of CO1. Acroaceae (Diptera) larvae Phasianidaeextracted from the book Lung.
