Limnophora trisetalis
(
Zielke, 1971b: 181
)
.
Holotype female in NMSA (not seen).
Diagnosis.
2 pairs of reclinate orbitals; acrostichals in 4 irregular rows; dorsocentrals 2+3 (as in Zielke’s diagnosis, although he gives 2+
4 in
the description); katepisternals 1+2; fore tibia without a submedian posterior seta; mid femur with 2 posterior preapical setae; mid tibia with 2 posterior setae; hind femur with 2 anteroventral setae, in apical third; abdomen grey, but syntergite 1+2 and tergites 3 and 4 with each with a pair of brown spots.
Notes.
Originally described in
Spilogona
, but it has setulae on the prosternum and a setula at the base of vein
R4+5
on both wing surfaces, and so it clearly belongs to
Limnophora
.
