Chiromyia hirtiscutellata : Lamb 1914: 355 . Lamb wrote that he had two males . The holotype (BMNH) is a female, but I was unable to recognize any external characters that would allow me to assign any of the new species to hirtiscutellatum . The paratype (CUMZ), on the other hand, is a headless male of a different species and it fits well the current concept of nitescens Frey , for which a diagnosis is given below. Therefore, for the time being, the species hirtiscutellatum is known only from the holotype . Diagnosis: Orange-yellow species with deeper yellow scutal stripes: scut without crossed apicals, but with discals and additional marginals, scutal setulae in 10 rows between dc lines; mtn dark on sides with middle two thirds yellow; all abdominal tg with brown bands. Postabdomen not dissected and no external distinguishing features noted. Distribution: Seychelles .
