Megaselia nigricia Disney & Durska

(Figs 169–172)

Megaselia nigricia Disney & Durska, 2011: 4 (male)

Diagnosis. This species was described from a single male from Poland. It closely resembles M. nigrescens (Wood) . Indeed, the hypopygia are very alike. Unfortunately, the front legs of the holotype were damaged and only the incomplete front tarsus of one leg remained. The specimens from Denmark allow a clearer distinction. Thus, the fore tarsus of M. nigrescens has posterodorsal hair palisades on segments 1 to 4 only (Fig. 172); whereas in M. nigricia they are present on all five segments (Fig. 171). In addition, the postpedicels of M. nigrescens lack SPS vesicles (Fig. 170) but are present in M. nigricia (Fig. 169).
