The genus Polionemobius originally was treated as a subgenus of Dianemobius by Gorochov (1983), but later was upgraded to the generic level by Gorochov (1986). At present it includes nine species distributed as follow: P. annulicornis Liu, He et Liu, 2010 from China (Yunnan), P. batavicus (Gorochov, 1984) and P. decipiens (Gorochov, 1984) both from Malaysia (Java), P. micado (Shiraki, 1911) from Japan, Korea and China, P. modestus Gorochov, 1994 from Seychelles, P. puchellus (Gorochov, 1984) and P. tarbinskyi Gorochov, 1986 both from Papua New Guinea, and P. taprobanensis (Walker, 1869) from Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, China, Japan, Korea and Russian Far East (Walker, 1869; Shiraki, 1911; Gorochov, 1984; 1986, 1994; Liu et al., 2010; 2007; Eades et al., 2014). One new species is found in Yunnan province of China and described below. Original key to Chinese species of Polionemobius is given. The types of the new species are deposited in the Museum, Hebei University, Baoding, China (MHBU).

INTRODUCTION

The Opomyzidae is a small family of acalyptrate Diptera with 50 described species in four genera (Anomalochaeta Frey 1921, Geomyza Fallen 1810, Opomyza Fallen 1820 and Scelomyza Seguy 1938) found mostly in Holarctic (Drake, 1993). Nine species of Opomyza, eighteen species of Geomyza and one species of Anomalochaeta were listed in the Palaearctic catalogue (Soos, 1984). Keys to Palaearctic genera and species of Opomyzidae were publi- shed by Drake (1993). Opomyzidae are small (2-5 m), slender with spotted or clouded wings, yellow to dark brown; third segment of antennae short, inclined downward from the second; arista dorsal (pubescent or plumose); second antennal segment not grooved; ptilinal suture clearly defined; one pair of frontal bristles, curving backward scattered interfrontal setulae present; vibrissae absent; postvertical orbital bristles absent; ocelli present; ocellar bristles present; mouthparts functional; thorax without a continuous dorsal suture; wing venation complete with a discal and anal cell, anal cell closed and short; costa with one break at the end of the subcosta; vein Sc usually incomplete but apical part sometimes visible as a thin line reaching the costa; crossvein Bm-Cu present but usually incomplete; lower calypter much reduced or absent; tibiae without a dorsal preapical bristle; hind tibiae without strong bristles in the basal 4/5 (Vockeroth, 1987; Drake, 1993). The larvae of this family are phytophagous, they inhabit within the stems of grasses (Poaceae); few species are pests of cereals and ryegrass (Blachowsky & Mesnil, 1935, Nye, 1958; Drake, 1993). The fauna of Opomyzidae in Iran has been poorly studied so far (Rajabi et al., 1997; Bah- rami et al., 2004). New data on Iranian opomyzids are given below. 7

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Materials were collected by a standard entomological hand net from grasslands in several regions of East Azerbaijan province, located in northern east of Iran with geographic coordinate data from 45°5´ to 48°22´ N and from 36°45´ to 39°26´ E; and varying latitude from 1347 to 3707 m, in 2010–2013. The flies were killed in a killing jar containing potassium cyanide. Materials were preserved in 75% ethanol in glass vials. Collected specimens were deposited at the Museum of Tabriz University (IMTU).

RESULTS

Four species in two genera are find in East Azerbaijan province of Iran. List of this species as well as key to the species of the family Opomyzidae in Iran (adapted from Drake, 1993) are given below.
