Ament, Danilo César, Kung, Giar-Ann & Brown, Brian V., 2020, Forty-one new species of Coniceromyia Borgmeier (Diptera: Phoridae), an identification key, and new distributional records for the species of the genus, Zootaxa 4830 (1), pp. 1-61 : 25

Coniceromyia inflata sp. nov.

( Figs. 4A , 8S , 14G , 19K , 24T )

Diagnosis (male). Costa swollen especially at R 1 insertion, short (0.34 of the wing length) ( Fig. 14G ); anepisternum dorsally setulose.

Material examined. Holotype ♂, BRAZIL: Acre: Iracema: Reserva Extrativista Corumbá , 09°09’02.0”S 68°58’41.0”W, 24–25.viii.2017, Malaise trap, 143m, J.E. Santos Jr. col. [ UFMG 1800588 ].

Description. Male. Body length 1.6 mm. Head. Frons dark brown, sparsely setulose, with well-defined median furrow. Flagellomere 1 light brown, conical. Arista apical, 1.5 times longer than 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, anteroapical setulose process with row of four strong setulae at its base and strong longer curved setula, base of excavation with group of setulae and a longer stronger seta ( Fig. 8S ). Foremetatarsus ratio 0.36. Posteroventral face of hind femur with broad band of tiny blunt setulae, dorsal setulae thicker ( Fig. 19K ). Hind femur height/length ratio 0.32. Hind tibia with one dorsal seta in basal half. Wing ( Fig. 14G ). Costa swollen, especially at R 1 insertion, 0.34 of the wing length; R 2+3 absent; M 1 slightly concave, curved posteriorly at apex; M 2 approximately sinuous, CuA 1 -M 2 /M 2 -M 1 ratio 0.83; CuA 1 sinuous. Halter white. Abdomen. Tergites dark brown. Hypopygium light brown. Left epandrial process short, with a dorsoapical lobe and a subepandrial setose elevation near hypoproct. Margin of right lobe of hypandrium without lateral projection. Two setae on hypoproct ( Fig. 24T ).

Distribution. Known from a single low-elevation site in Western Brazil.

Etymology. Name derived from the Latin word inflatus (swollen), referring to the costa swelling at R 1 insertion.
