L. text Journal of Natural History 2003 2003-03-31 37 5 505 639 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00222930110096564 journal article 10.1080/00222930110096564 1464-5262 5273495 Sciadocera rufomaculata White, 1917 (figures 63–68, 69A, C, 70) There is a sexual dimorphism in the hind tarsus of this distinctive species. The male has a shortened basitarsus and long hairs on the second segment (figure 63). In the female the basitarsus is longer than segment 2, which lacks the long hairs. White’s specimens were from Mangalore . Fuller (1934) reared this species from larvae fed on putrid liver. Her description of the larva and puparium show these to be of a typical phorid type , except the respiratory horns of the latter are unusually short .
