Megaselia sulphurizona Borgmeier View in CoL

Megaselia (Megaselia) sulphurizona Borgmeier 1966: 111–112 View in CoL , fig. 93, in part.

Figs. 4, 6, 11, 14, 27, 31.

Holotype. Male , USA: CA: Riverside Co., Riverside, 22.xii.1934, A.L. Melander ( USNM, examined).

Diagnosis. This species differs from the extremely similar, and sympatric, M. cryptizona by the overall shape of the wing, but also by the shape of the subcostal vein (Fig. 9), which in M. sulphurizona is longer and straighter. Its barcode is most similar to that of M. colombizona , from which it differs by about 3.89% minimum p-distance.

DNA Barcodes. This species is in the BOLD database as BOLD:ACM1802.

Consensus sequence based on material in BOLD (the holotype is an older museum specimen that we chose not to barcode at this time):
