Psathyromyia (Psathyromyia) dasymera (Fairchild & Hertig) : Galati, 2003: 43, 114, 115 (list, keys). Diagnosis. Male: gonocoxite without tuft of perennial setae; gonostylus with 4 spiniform setae, two basal at same level just before middle, one preapical in the apical fourth and one apical, without preapical fine seta; paramere with a basal ventral hump and very close to it posteriorly a ventral short protuberance with about 10 specialized setae and apex curved as a hook. Female: cibarium with about 10 horizontal teeth and about 10 longitudinal rows of vertical teeth, pigmented area large and cibarial arch complete; spermatheca cylindrical with broad capitulum which is as wide as the spermatheca; spermatecal individual ducts long about 3.5X the length of spermatheca, individual spermathecal duct very short as long as one-half the length of spermatheca (Fairchild & Hertig 1961; Young & Duncan 1994; Galati 2003). Material examined. MEXICO : CHIAPAS: Loma Bonita, 20-iii-2010 , 1 ♂ . Collected with CDC light trap. Distribution. MEXICO (Chiapas); BELIZE ; NICARAGUA ; COSTA RICA (Murillo & Zeledón 1985); PANAMA ; COLOMBIA ; VENEZUELA (Martins et al. 1978; Young 1979; Feliciangeli 1988); BRAZIL (Biancardi et al. 1982); ECUADOR (Alexander et al. 1992a, Alexander et al. 1992b) (Young & Duncan 1994). Remarks. Female of Pa. dasymera cannot be separated from that of Pa. campbelli (Damasceno, Causey & Arouck) , but the male can be distinguished by the simple apex of the ejaculatory filaments, as Pa. campbelli has the apex modified with short setae; the female is as well similar, but Pa. campbelli has the individual spermathecal ducts with the half near the spermatheca more sclerotized and striated. Psathyromyia dasymera is rare in Mexico , as only the specimens saw by Fairchild & Hertig (1961) were known. Female feeding habits are not known but they are not anthropophilous.
