Figs 3A-D, 8

Drosophila parabrunnea Tsacas & Chassagnard, 1976: 92.

Specimen examined.

CHINA: 1♂ (SCAU, No. 128342), Menglun, Mengla, Yunnan, 21°55'N, 101°16'E, alt. 570 m, 3-4.xi.2001, JJ Gao.

Diagnosis.

This species is very similar to S. maculata sp. n. in the patterns of abdominal tergites (Fig. 3B) and aedeagus curved dorsally in lateral view (Fig. 8D), but it can be distinguished from the latter by having the paramere apically round in lateral view (Fig. 8D); gonopods dorsally expanded in lateral view (Fig. 8D); see under that species.

Description.

Male and female: Head (Fig. 3A): frons yellowish to brown. Pedicel brownish; first flagellomere yellowish brown. Facial carina brown, short, as 1/3 length as face.

Thorax (Fig. 3B, C): mesonotum yellowish brown, with a brown longitudinal stripe medially. Acrostichal setulae in ca. 8-10 irregular rows. Scutellum yellow, dark brown near basal scutellar setae, pale at tip. Pleura brownish.

Abdomen (Fig. 3D): tergites II to V yellow, with dark brown caudal bands, the caudal bands on tergites II and III narrowed medially; tergite VI entirely dark brown.

Male terminalia (Fig. 8): epandrium with ca. 16 setae near posterior and ventral margins per side. Surstylus with 6-7 peg-like prensisetae. Hypandrium with a pair of paramedian setae and pubescence basomedially. Paramere with ten sensilla medially. Aedeagus lacking pubescence.
