Etymology.
The specific epithet ‘capdellae’ is a Latin genitive derived from the name of the
type
locality, the Pyrenean hamlet of Capdella.
Description.
The adults differ from other species of the
Delia pruinosa
species group as follows:
Male.
Differs from
D. pruinosa
in having hind tibia with apical av-seta normally developed (
Fig. 6
, arrow). Sternite IV no wider than sternite V and sternites III–V with lateral setae shorter than in
D. pruinosa
(
Figs. 35, 36
); surstyli (
Figs. 37, 38
) more slender in caudal aspect than seen in other species except
D. sileni
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 27
), but in that species the surstyli are less tapering in lateral aspect (
Fig. 28
); distiphallus (
Figs. 40, 41
), as also in
D. judicariae
(
Figs. 22, 23
), with paraphallic processes longer than postero-median extension.
Female.
Oviscapt rather slender, barely longer than preabdomen when fully extended; apical setae on epiproct, hypoproct and cerci quite strong; basal two-thirds of hypoproct bare or with a few setulae only (
Fig. 42
).
