The members of the flavipes species-group can be distinguished from other Sagola species-groups by the following combination of characters: body length 2.4–2.8 mm ; head transverse, widest across eyes ( Fig. 27e ); antennomere 1 approximately 2 times longer than wide with sparse punctures; anterior frontal fovea small round, but not externally observable because it is covered by the connected frontal rostrum ( Fig. 27e ); posterior frontal fovea elongate ( Fig. 27e ); frontal sulcus reaching length of vertexal fovea ( Fig. 27e ); ventral surface of male head with setose horn medially ( Fig. 27f : arrow); hind wings reduced to small pads; fore femur with semicircular depression; mid-tibia bent; Male tergite IV without microtrichial patch; abdominal tergites IV–VI with discal carinae; abdominal ventrites IV–VI with basolateral foveae; present on North Island, not known from South Island ( Fig. 28 ). KEY TO SPECIES OF THE FLAVIPES SPECIES- GROUP The key is mainly based on male specimens because most female specimens are indistinguishable based on external morphology. 1. Horn of ventral surface of head shorter than wide; median lobe of genitalia branched into 3 lobes, major lobe triangular ( Fig. 27c ); parameres asymmetrical and as long as median lobe ( Fig. 27c )....................
