Dicranomyia (Dicranomyia) affinis
(
Schummel, 1829
)
3 Medium-sized species (wing length 6.5–9.5 mm). Wing with pterostigma distinct (Fig. 18). Male terminalia with rostral spines shorter than those of other species (
Fig. 8
). Female terminalia with space between cerci very narrow, about one third width of cercus breadth at base (
Fig. 13
). For male tarsi, see
Fig. 3
.............
Dicranomyia (Dicranomyia) quadra
(
Meigen, 1838
)
- Small species (wing length 5.3–8.0 mm). Wing clear except for at most feebly indicated pterostigma (Figs 19, 20). Male terminalia with rostral spines normally long (
Figs 9, 10
). Female terminalia with space between cerci subequal in width to cercus breadth at base (
Figs 14, 15
)............................................................................ 4
4 Two last male tarsomeres long, subequal in length, parallel-sided; tarsal claws short, with only one tooth fairly distinct (
Fig. 4
). Male terminalia with rostral spines gently curved, separated at base by less than their own breadth (
Fig. 9
). Female terminalia with cercus about two thirds length of tergite 10 (
Fig. 14
). For wing, see Fig. 19.................................................................................................
Dicranomyia (Dicranomyia) lutea
(
Meigen, 1804
)
- Male tarsomere 5 distinctly shorter than tarsomere 4; male tarsal claws moderately long, with single well-developed tooth at base (
Fig. 5
). Male terminalia with rostral spines almost straight, separated at base by more than their own breadth (
Fig. 10
). Female terminalia with cercus subequal in length to tergite 10 (
Fig. 15
). For wing, see Fig. 20...............................................................................
