Colocasiomyia colocasiae
species subgroup
Colocasiomyia colocasiae
species subgroup:
Takenaka
et al
., 2006: 84
.
Diagnosis
. Epandrial phragma prominent (wider than epandrial anteroventral corner), somewhat shell-shaped expansion on antero-subapical margin (ch.33-1;
Fig. 10A
). Surstyli absent (ch.34-2;
Fig. 10A
). Lateral pieces of subepandrial sclerite less sclerotized, small, somewhat triangular plate-like (ch.37-1;
Fig. 10A
). Cercus nearly entirely oval (ch.38-1;
Fig. 10A
). Phallal sheath prominently projected anterodorsad at dorsobasal corner in lateral view (ch.41-2;
Fig. 11A
).
Shared characters.
Supracervical setae distally more or less curved, longer than inner occipital setae (ch.1-0;
Fig. 3A
). Additional, interfrontal setulae on fronto-orbital plate absent (ch.2-1;
Fig. 3B
). Distance between antennal sockets wider than half of socket width (ch.4-0;
Fig. 3C
). Cibarial, medial sensilla in parallel rows narrower than sensilla campaniformia (ch.5-2); posterior sensilla present (ch.6-0). Anterior dorsocentral setae situated behind transverse suture (ch.7-0;
Fig. 5A
). Additional dorsocentral setae on presutural area absent (
Fig. 5A
). Prescutellar acrostichal setae absent (ch.8-1;
Fig. 5A
). Acrostichal setulae in 4 rows (ch.9-0;
Fig. 5A
). Katepisternal setae large; posterior one as long as or longer than longest, postpronotal seta (ch.10-0;
Fig. 5E
). Basal scutellar setae short; posterior tip not reaching to half of apical scutellar setae (ch.11-0;
Fig. 5A
). Apical scutellar setae nearly equidistant from each other and from basal scutellar seta (
Fig. 5A
). Apically blunt, heavy, peg-like costal setae in middle row interspersed with weak, trichoid ones (ch.12-1;
Fig. 6B
). Fore tarsomere I with patch covered with only minute pubescence on anterodorsal portion (ch.13-0;
Fig. 7A
). Mid tibia with 2 or more apical setae (ch.15-0;
Fig. 7C
). Male abdominal sternites IV and V and female sternites III–VI longer than wide (ch.17–22-1;
Fig. 8C,D
). Male abdominal sternite VI not pubescent at least partly (ch.23-0;
Fig. 9B–D
), with single process longer than
0.05 mm
and not bearing prominent seta on apex but small setae on submedial to distal portion (ch.24-2, 25–27-0;
Fig. 9B–D
). Epandrium roundish on posteroventral margin (ch.30-1), with seta as long as width of epandrium and short setae as thick as cercal setae on posteroventral portion (ch.31,32-0;
Fig. 10A
). Median piece of subepandrial sclerite broad, somewhat quadrate plate (ch.36-0;
Fig. 10A,B
). Cercus wider than 1/2 cercal length (ch.39-1;
Fig. 10A
). Phallal sheath nearly straight, apically vertically bilobed, as thick as wide, without pubescence (ch.40-0, 42–44-1;
Fig. 11A,B
). Phallapodeme more or less sclerotized, slightly oblique to axis of phallal sheath, longer than 1/2 of phallal sheath (ch.45-1, ch.46,47-0;
Fig. 11A,B
). Epiproct and hypoproct pubescent (ch.48-0;
Fig. 12A,B
). Oviscapt not longer than phallus (apodeme + sheath), with ovisensilla on portion occupying 1/2 or more in length of oviscapt; distal portion differentiated into more or less narrow process from basal, broad portion with dense, fine wrinkles (ch. 49–51-0;
Fig. 12A
).
Included species.
