Revision of the femoralis group of Blepharoneura Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae) 2374 Norrbom, Allen L. Condon, Marty Zootaxa 2010 2010-02-26 2374 1 1 139 [151,428,151,177] Insecta Tephritidae Blepharoneura Animalia Diptera 69 70 Arthropoda species undetermined   Fig. 34   Diagnosis.This species,  B. furcifer,  ruptafascia,  septemdigitata, and some specimens of  B. quadristriataand  macwilliamsaediffer from other  Blepharoneuraspeciesin having two marginal hyaline marks in cell r2+3, the more distal of which forms a concave band ending on the posteroapical margin of cell r4+5. It differs from  B. macwilliamsae,  ruptafascia,  quadristriata, and some specimens of the other two species in lacking brown markings on the mesonotum. It differs from  B. furciferand  septemdigitataas follows: cell r1 without subapical hyaline spot [#6]; proximal marginal hyaline spot in cell r2+3 not extended into cell r4+5; cell dm with only one hyaline mark in basal 2/3; cell cu1 with medial hyaline mark not Y-shaped; and medial surstylus with prensisetae well separated. It also has a subapical hyaline spot [#25] in cell dm, whereas this spot is usually minute or absent in the other two species. The female is unknown.   Description.Head: Dark brown area on ocellar tubercle not extended towards postocellar seta. Medial occipital sclerite with pair of brown vittae on ventral half. Small dot-like brown spot anterolateral to medial vertical seta. Occipital suture narrowly red brown to dark brown. Thorax: Entirely yellow. Basalare entirely yellow. Scutum entirely microtrichose. Dorsocentral seta aligned slightly anterior to postalar seta. Legs: Entirely yellow. Wing ( Fig. 34): Length 5.10–5.35 mm, width 2.65–2.87 mm, ratio 1.86–1.92. Crossvein r-m at 0.50–0.53 distance from bm-cu to dm-cu. Cell c with 2 rectangular to inverted trapezoidal hyaline spots, basal spot very narrow, both reaching costa and subcosta; medial brown area as dark as area of cell r1 posterior to pterostigma, much broader than both hyaline spots, in Panamamale with very narrow, slightly paler, streak-like medial area. Pterostigma with large hyaline subapical spot [#3], sometimes reaching R1. Cells r1 and r2+3 basally (proximal to apex of R1) without hyaline spots except for minute spot in r1 posterior to apex of vein Sc. Radial cells medially with tapering acute triangular to nipple-shaped basal marginal hyaline mark [#5] in cell r1. Cell r2+3 without hyaline spot aligned with r1 mark, but with more distal hyaline spot [#9], touching R2+3 or R4+5 and more than half as wide as cell. Cell r4+5 with hyaline spot [#14] aligned with or slightly distal to r1 mark, touching R4+5 and extending half or slightly more than halfway across cell; with medial hyaline spot [#15] near anterior end of dm-cu small. Distally cell r1 without hyaline spots [#6]. Cell r2+3 with 2 elongate marginal hyaline marks, proximal mark [#10] ending at vein R4+5, distal mark [#11] aligned with mark in cell r4+5 forming concave band extending to posteroapical margin of r4+5 [including #18]. Cell m usually with 2 elongate marginal hyaline marks, proximal band [fused #26A, #26 and #27] reaching vein M, distal band [#29] reaching or almost reaching (1 wing of both specimens) vein M; cell r4+5 without hyaline markings aligned with bands in cell m. Cell br with subbasal hyaline spot [#12]. Cell bm with circular subbasal and subapical hyaline spots [#19, #20]. Posteromedial part of wing with 2 elongate hyaline marks or series of aligned spots; cell br with subapical hyaline spot [#13] reaching posterior margin; cell dm with subtriangular to L-shaped hyaline mark [fused #21, #22, #23, and possibly #24], broader posteriorly, its proximal margin aligned with subapical spot [#13] in br and with or almost with small proximal anterior spot in cell cu1; cell cu1 with isolated narrow marginal hyaline mark across apex of vein A1+Cu2 [fused #34, #39], with small proximal anterior hyaline spot [#31?] aligned with or slightly proximal to proximal part of mark in dm, and with medial band [fused #32?, #36] or (1 wing of Colombian ♂) anterior spot [#32?] and band reaching margin [#36], usually with proximal bend anteriorly, aligned slightly distal to mark in dm; subapical marginal hyaline mark [#37] moderate sized. Cell dm with subapical hyaline spot [#25] moderate sized. Abdomen: Syntergite 1+2 with pair of small faint brown spots on posterior margin and small dark brown spot on posterolateral corner. Tergite 3 with 2 pairs of evenly spaced dark brown spots and L-shaped dark brown band on posterolateral margin. Tergites 4 and 5 with similar markings but on tergite 4 sublateral spot connected to posterolateral band, and on tergite 5 both spots fused with posterolateral band to form trilobed mark. Male terminalia: Medial surstylus relatively short and broad, prensisetae subequal, not on lobes, separated by more than width of medial prensiseta.   Distribution.Lowland areas of Panamaand Colombia.  Specimens examined.  COLOMBIA:  70 kmE of Buenaventura, Anchicayá,  400 m,  17–20 Feb 1970, D. M. Wood, 1♂( CNC USNMENT00213929).  PANAMA: Panamá: Barro Colorado National Monument,  20 Feb - 13 Mar 1985, D. A. Grimaldi, 1♂( AMNH USNMENT00213930).   Remarks.The two malesexamined probably represent an undescribed species, but we are reluctant to formally name it until female specimens become available. 1970-02-17 1970-02-20 1970-02-17 CNC D.
