Coniceromyia brachypoda View in CoL sp. nov.

( Figs. 1F View FIGURE 1 , 8F View FIGURE 8 , 13F View FIGURE 13 , 17 View FIGURE 17 K–L, 24F, 27D)

Diagnosis (male). Anepisternum dorsally setulose, hind femur with broad band of tiny blunt setulae (dorsal setulae thicker), left epandrial process with dorsal medially directed lobe ( Fig. 24F View FIGURE 24 ). Coniceromyia brachypoda shares these characteristics and a very similar hypopygium with C. dasypoda , C. amazonensis , and C. hadrochaeta . These four species can be differentiated mostly by their foremetatarsus chaetotaxy and processes ( Figs. 8F, 8A, 8L, 8Q View FIGURE 8 ), in C. brachypoda with anterior excavation bearing few setulae, setulose anteroapical process, seta at base of excavation approximately half length of excavation, and strong seta at base of the anteroapical process.

Description. Male. Body length 2.2 mm. Head. Frons brown, sparsely setulose, with well-defined median furrow. Flagellomere 1 light brown, conical. Arista apical, twice the length of flagellomere 1. Palpus light brown. Gena with two setae. Thorax. Scutum, scutellum, and pleural regions brown; anepisternum dorsally setulose. Legs yellowish-brown. Foretibia with two dorsal setae and anterodorsal row of strong setulae. Foremetatarsus with anterior excavation bearing few setulae, setulose anteroapical process, seta at base of excavation approximately half length of excavation, and strong seta at base of at anteroapical process ( Fig. 8F View FIGURE 8 ). Foremetatarsus ratio 0.5. Posteroventral face of hind femur with broad band of tiny blunt setulae, dorsal setulae thicker ( Figs. 17 View FIGURE 17 K–L). Hind femur height/ length ratio, 0.37. Hind tibia with one dorsal seta in basal half. Wing ( Fig. 13F View FIGURE 13 ). Costa swollen, 0.4 of the wing length; R 2+3 absent; M 1 concave, curved posteriorly at apex; M 2 sinuous, CuA 1 -M 2 /M 2 -M 1 ratio 1.2; CuA 1 sinuous. Halter white. Abdomen. Tergites dark brown, with shining pubescence. Hypopygium light brown ( Figs. 24F View FIGURE 24 ). Left epandrial process with dorsal setae, dorsal medially directed lobe, and internal face with elevation near base with apical setulae. Margin of right lobe of hypandrium without lateral projection. Hypoproct with three setae.

Distribution. Widespread in Amazonia, and reaching Panama in the North ( Fig. 27D View FIGURE 27 ).

Etymology. Name derived from the Greek roots brachys (short) and podos (foot), referring to the short foremetatarsus.

Variations. Specimens with long, thin setae along antero-and posteroventral margins of the forefemur; elongated setae on ventral face of foretibia; seta at base of excavation shorter or longer than that in the holotype.
