Lobosciara includes the following species which are keyed and described: L. spinipennis (Sasakawa) (Thailand, Micronesia), L. adebratti sp. n. (Borneo), L. bilobata sp. n. (Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sulawesi), L. latiloba sp. n. (Malay peninsula, Borneo) and L. trilobata sp. n. (Sulawesi). The phylogenetic interrelationship of the species is as follows: [spinipennis + trilobata] + [latiloba + (adebratti + bilobata)]
