Fig. 75

Types. Holotype male in ANIC no. 29-029372, Ilford, NSW, larvae coll. 29 Aug. 1984, adult emerged 7 Nov. 1984, J. Macdonald, ex Pseudoperga sp. voucher, J. Macdonald, terminalia in tube 2105. Paratype female, data as for holotype. Very similar to F. aurea, differing as follows

: Male. Parafacial setulae extending well on to ventral half of sclerite. Postocellar bristles indeterminate in number, scarcely differentiated from others on posterior half of plate, all with angularly bent apices. Forefemur mainly dark, except for strip on apical half of ventral surface; centre of anterior surface of midfemur with 1 long, stout bristle. Abdominal tergite 3 with pair of submedian marginal bristles. Terminalia more resembling those of F. wentworthi, but surstylus in lateral view tapering to a blunt point ( Fig. 75 ). Female (from associated rearing). Resembles male in parafacial setulosity but more ventral setulae pale golden; postocellar bristles quite well differentiated, straight, 7 in number. Distribution. Known only from the type locality in NSW.

Biology. Both specimens were reared from larvae of Pseudoperga sp.

Notes. Despite the existence of only 2 specimens, they cannot be accommodated in any known member of the group and clearly represent a new species, which is named after the collector. Froggattimyia truncata sp. nov.
