Note on identity. The male holotype of Hylemyia judicariae Pokorny deposited in the Hungarian Museum of Natural History, Budapest, came from Condino, a locality in Italy: Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. It was examined by Hennig (1974, plate-fig. 1165) and treated as a junior synonym of Delia flavifrons (Zetterstedt) View in CoL [now = D. pruinosa (Zetterstedt) View in CoL ], but Hennig’s illustration of the male hypopygium shows clearly that Pokorny’s species is in fact a valid species within the D. pruinosa View in CoL species group.

Description. The adults differ from other species of the Delia pruinosa species group as follows: Male & female. Differs from D. pruinosa in having hind tibia with apical av-seta normally developed ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 1 – 7 , arrow).

Male. Sternite IV no wider than sternite V and sternites III–V with lateral setae shorter than in D. pruinosa ( Figs. 17, 18 View FIGURES 17 – 23 ); surstyli moderately broad but strongly tapering in caudal aspect ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 17 – 23 ); distiphallus, as also in D. capdellae sp. nov. ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 35 – 41 ), with paraphallic processes longer than postero-median extension ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 17 – 23 ).

Female. Oviscapt ( Figs. 24, 25 View FIGURES 24 – 25 ) rather thick, decidedly longer than preabdomen when fully extended; hypoproct much longer than broad, without cuticular pubescence; cerci with several apical setae of moderate and equal strength. Oviscapt overall very similar to that of D. sileni sp. nov. ( Figs. 32, 33 View FIGURES 32 – 34 ), but distinguished by having the basal membranes of segments VII and VIII covered in scales with a dark, proclinate spicule ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 24 – 25 ).
