Carpophthoromyia procera : Bezzi 1924 b, Cogan & Munro 1980. Diagnosis Arista medium pilose; frons with upper part darker, three frontals; scutum with two broad transverse bands; postpronotum white; scutellum completely white; fore femur reddish brown; anterior margin of wing with two hyaline indentations, in cell c and sc; S­band and inverted V­band separate. Description Head. Antennal segments yellow to orange. Arista medium long pilose, longest rays usually slightly more than half the width of first flagellomere but never equal to width. Frons yellow, upper third (area in between orbitals to upper margin ocellar triangle) brown. Three frontals placed on oblique line, with anterior frontal 1.5­2 times as far from the inner eye margin than posterior frontal; two orbitals. Face white, gena dark brown. Thorax. Scutum shining black­brown; black setulae, except for two broad transverse bands with silvery setulae; one anteriorly of transverse suture, continuing posteriorly along lateral margins to base of postsutural supraalars or slightly beyond, second one near dorsocentrals; third smaller region with silvery setulae between postpronotal lobes. Postpronotum white. Anepisternum with white band with lower margin reaching posteroventral corner or almost so; with pale setulae, lower fourth with black setulae, two anepisternals. Anatergite and katatergite white. Scutellum completely white. Subscutellum black­brown. Legs reddish brown, tibia and tarsal segments yellow. Wing ( Fig. 4 ). Hyaline indentation in cell c, with black patches and streaks. Hyaline indentation near junction of vein C with apical part of vein R1, reaching R4+5. S­band and inverted V­band completely separate. S­band with small trace of subapical tooth, rarely (one specimen: Lolodorf locality in MNHU collection) tooth extending to inverted Vband. Crossvein DM­Cu slightly sinuous. R­M ratio 1.35­1.70. Abdomen. Shining brown, posterior half of tergites 2­4 more yellow­orange, sometimes tergites 1­2 largely or completely orange; with black setulae, tergites 2­4 with silvery setulae and microtrichosity along yellow­orange band; tergite 5 more reddish brown. Spermatheca ovoid in apical part, base slender. Female terminalia, oviscape at least as long as abdominal tergites; shining brown, with black setulae. Aculeus orange, cylindrical, about 10 times longer than wide; aculeus tip darker orange and slightly downcurved. Body length: 7.86 (7.20­8.64)mm; wing length 7.80 (6.40­8.40)mm Material examined Type material: Lectotype ɗ (herewith designated): [ EQUATORIAL GUINEA ], “Span. Guinea // Uellebg. Benitogbt.”, 15­31.I.1907 , G. Tessmann (MNHU). Paralectotypes : CAMEROON : 1ɗ, Lolodorf, L. Conradt (MNHU); 1Ψ, “Johann­Albrechtshöhe”, 23.III.1896 , L. Conradt (BMNH). Other material (erroneously labeled as type ; cf. comments below): EQUATORIAL GUINEA , 1Ψ, Nkolentangan, November 1907 ­ May 1908 , G. Tessmann (MNHU). Distribution Cameroon , Equatorial Guinea Comments Both procera and scutellata are very closely related and difficult to differentiate, the main character being the colour of the fore femur. Based on this, both are still considered here as separate species.The specimen from Nkolentangan is labelled as type but does not belong to the type series. The original description mentions 1m and 1f from Uelleburg (male is at MNHU); 1m from Lolodorf (also MNHU), and 1m from Johann­Albrechtshöhe. The latter is probably erroneously sexed and is the female paratype at the BMNH (all specifications in publication correspond with label data).
