Galeopsomyia macaxeira Perioto , Costa & Lara

( Figs 684-688 View Figs 684–688 )

Galeopsomyia macaxeira Perioto, Costa & Lara 2011:163-165 . Holotype ♀ (MZSP), examined through images; Brazil.

Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2 ( Fig. 684 View Figs 684–688 ); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 685 View Figs 684–688 ) with weak reticulation on median part, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate, with a indistinct median groove in anterior two-thirds, submedian grooves with outer margin indistinct, diverging slightly towards posterior part; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 686 View Figs 684–688 ) with strong reticulation, callus with four setae; fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; petiole very short, just a narrow band; gaster ( Fig. 688 View Figs 684–688 ) 3.3× as long as wide, tergites with strong reticulation, medio-basal Gt 1 with short longitudinal carinae pointing backwards from transverse sharp edge.

Description. See Perioto et al. (2011).

Hosts. Reared from leaf galls on cassava ( Manihot esculenta , Euphorbiaceae ), possibly parasitizing Iatrophobia brasiliensis (Rübsaamen) ( Diptera : Cecidomyiidae ; cited as Jatrophobia brasiliensis ) ( Perioto et al. 2011).

Distribution. Brazil ( Perioto et al. 2011).

Material examined.

No material has been examined, but images of female holotype and one female paratype of G. macaxeira have been examined.

Comments. The images in the original description of G. macaxeira (figs 1–8 in Perioto et al. 2011) are not of this species. Instead the images are possibly of G. glypta , described in the same paper as G. macaxeira . However, G. glypta does not belong in Galeopsomyia . See comment under G. glypta . Thus G. macaxeira has never been imaged.
