Emersoniella galateae

Tanysiptera galatea meyeri
: male genitalia.
Remarks.
We include an illustration of the male genitalia of this species (
Fig. 7
) to facilitate comparisons with the other species treated here, especially
E. persei
. Additional measurements and illustrations of this species were provided by
Emerson & Price 1978
. Note, however, that in both sexes, there are 1–2 pairs of setae located between the setae of the posterior margin of the metasternum and the posterior margin of sternite II; these setae are missing in the original illustration (see
Emerson & Price 1978
: 107, fig. 1).
