Notiochyromya sp. C

A yellow species with completely dark mtn and paired spots on all tg, spots on tg 1 and 2 merge to form a large oval patch, spots from tg 3 to 7 gradually increasing in size towards apex of abdomen; scut with small brown spot at base ventrolaterally and short setae on disc apart from 6–8 additional marginal setae, which alternate in size, the basal shortest; scutal setulae between dc lines in 10 rows. This species is similar to sexspinosa . It differs in the number of scut setae and the progressively larger spots on the abdomen from base to apex.
