Description.
Body length= 6.0-7.0 mm. Head. Frons narrower than ocellar tubercle, profile rounded above antenna, surface texture smooth, glabrous; gena with pale setae; parafacial overlain with silver pubescence; palpus brown-black; occiput glabrous, glossy black; antennal base raised; antennal length approximately equal to head; scape orange-yellow, much shorter than flagellum, scape with sparse dark setae dorsally; flagellum orange-yellow, base of flagellum without setae. Thorax. Scutum glossy black, overlain with sparse yellow setae, grey pubescence laterally; scutellum overlain with sparse grey pubescence; pleuron black, overlain with sparse silver-grey pubescence; wing largely hyaline, faint band midway; haltere knob white; coxae, femora and tibia orange; tarsi white, fore-basitarsus dark, rest of basitarsi orange. Scutal chaetotaxy: np, 5; sa, 1-2; pa, 1; dc, 2; sc, 1. Abdomen. Segments 2-3 orange with black medial patch, remaining segments black; terminalia pale.
Comments.
Pipinnipons kampmeierae
sp. n. is very similar to
Pipinnipons kroeberi
, but can be differentiated based on coxae and abdomen colouration. The wings are only weakly infuscate rather than strongly banded infuscate as in most other species of
Pipinnipons
and
Acupalpa
. The female is unknown for this species.
Etymology.
This species is named in honour of Gail Kampmeier, in recognition of her excellent work on
Therevidae
bioinformatics.
