Abdomen:
Elongate, tergites 1–4 brown with median vitta between dark brown and black, expanded laterally on apical margin of each tergite; tergite 5 between dark brown and black. Syntergite 1+2 with long and weak setae on lateral margin. Tergite 3 with 4 pairs of long and strong setae on apical margin. Tergite 4 with 3 pairs long and stronger setae on apical margin. Sternite 1 setulose. Sternite 5 wider than long, V-shaped, covered with setae on posterior margin with strong setae at apex (
Fig. 40
).
Terminalia
(
Figs. 51
,
64
,
69
): Epandrium wider than long, with long setae up to basal half and a few setae on lateral; cercal plate longer than wide, V-shaped, widely fused, with slightly truncated prolongation apically, with long setae along the plate; surstylus with visible articulation with epandrium, long and slender, longer than epandrium, slightly incurved medially and with 2–3 distinctive setae on inner surface in frontal view, shaped as a comma in lateral view; bacilliform process present, hook-shaped; hypandrium and associated structures as in
Fig. 69
.
Female:
Unknown
Biology
: According to label data,
Fannia isa
sp. nov.
is associated with decomposed organic matter in secondary forests, tropical rainforest and synanthropics environments between
1417–1943 m
.
Comments:
The male of
Fannia isa
sp. nov.
is similar to
Fannia pseudoconstricta
sp. nov.
by the number of
fr
and the shape of the bacilliform process, but
Fannia isa
sp. nov.
can be distinguished by the number of
av
on the protuberance of the hind femur (7 setae), the length of the surstylus (longer than epandrium), and by the presence of long setae along the cercal plate. The following combination of characters: bacilliform process hook-shaped, dark wings and hind coxa ciliated on posterior surface point to the placement of
Fannia isa
sp. nov.
in the
obscurinervis
group (
Albuquerque
et al.
1981
). However,
Fannia
.
isa
sp. nov.
lacks setulose eyes.
