The
livida
species-group
Diagnosis.
The
livida
species-group is most similar to the
hyalina
and
eronioides
species-groups but can be distinguished from them by the combination of the following characters: 1) Larger than the
hyalina
species-group.
2) The transverse band on the forewing is absent (generally present in the
hyalina
and
eronioides
species-groups).
3) In male genitalia the distal end of sacculus bears two dent-like processes, while in the
hyalina
species-group the distal end of sacculus bears numerous smaller spines and in the
eronioides
species-group the distal end of sacculus forms a long (ca. 1 × posterior tegumenal projection length) and strong horn-like process. From the
geoffi
speciesgroup it can be easily distinguished by the larger size, the presence of a pale spot in the cell R
4
on forewing, the bifurcate posterior end of the 8th tergite and the simple juxta lobes.
