Type specimens of Wohlfahrtiodes mongolicus Chao & Zhang, 1988: CHINA: Neimenggu: Holotype, male, Qog B, 29.VI.1978; paratypes: 19 males, Erenhot, 10¯ 12.VII.1972; all collected by C.M. Chao (all ZMCAS). Distribution. CHINA: Neimenggu (Erenhot, Qog B); Palaearctic Region. Remarks. The species Asiosarcophila kaszabi was given as a first record from China by Zhang et al. (2015), with no mention of the much earlier record by Liu & Wu (1986). We have not been able to locate the material referred to by Liu & Wu (1986), and while the description does not fit with Asiosarcophila kaszabi, it does not allow us to make an identification. Important features mentioned by Liu & Wu (1986) are especially [our translation from the Chinese original]: “Frons about 1/3 as broad as head width”, “arista very long with short plumosity in basal 1/2”, “[abdominal] tergites 2–4 with a median black stripe and a pair of circular lateral spots”, and “cercus small and black, triangular in lateral view, with sharp apex; surstylus brown, spoon-like, surstylus longer than cercus in lateral and dorsal views; postgonite elongated and with a hook-like tip, pregonite yellowishbrown and with brownish black tip, spearhead-like, without bristles; phallus brownish black with elongated lateral sclerotizations”. The short, triangular cercus is here taken as evidence for assignment to the subfamily Paramacronychiinae, but the remaining features do not match particularly well with A. kaszabi or any other genus or species.
