Study of the female
holotype
in the collection of the MNHN, showed that this species does not belong to
Carpophthoromyia
. Despite the vague resemblance of wing banding with some representatives of
Carpophthoromyia
, it lacks the other characteristic features such as the white flattened scutellum (swollen and completely black in
C
.
angusticeps
), transverse bands on mesonotum (shining blackbrown with dispersed black setulae in
C. angusticeps
) and the rounded or slightly flattened female aculeus (very broad and blade like in
C. angusticeps
). Especially the shape of the aculeus tip indicated that this is a gastrozonine. It fits within the generic concept of
Clinotaenia
as described by
Hancock (1999)
to which also
C. superba
(Bezzi)
was recently transferred from
Carpophthoromyia
by the same author (
Hancock, 1999
). It differs from the latter by the shape of the female aculeus (trilobed in
superba
, pointed in
angusticeps
) and the base of the wing being completely brown (hyaline with brown patches in
superba
). Study of unidentified material that was previously sorted to
Carpophthoromyia
revealed two male specimens that are identical with the female
holotype
.
