Herina dimorphica
species group
Diagnosis.
This group of species can be destinguished from other
Herina
species groups by the combination of the following characters: small size (body length 2.2–4.0 mm); first flagellomere short, pointed dorsoapically; wing pattern unique, varies from almost evenly infuscated to dimidiate, rather than consisting of transverse dots or stripes as in all other
Herina
groups; medial surstylus inconspicuous; lateral surstylus mesally curved or almost straight, with 2–3 prensisetae; spermatheca short oval. Genital characters similar to those of members of the
oscillans
group, but members of the
dimorphica
group clearly differ from the members of the
oscillans
group by the more densely microtrichose thorax and abdomen, as well as by the wing pattern.
