Hill & Winterton, 2004 : 4 Hill & Winterton, 2004 : 4 New species of Acraspisoides Hill & Winterton and Bonjeania Irwin & Lyneborg (Diptera: Therevidae: Agapophytinae), with the description of a new genus Winterton, Shaun L. Zootaxa 2007 1438 1 25 N8J 209065 Hill & Winterton Hill & Winterton [151,541,1495,1521] Insecta Therevidae Acraspisoides Animalia Diptera 1 2 Arthropoda genus     Acraspisoides  Hill & Winterton, 2004: 4. Typespecies:  Acraspisoides helviarta  Hill & Winterton, 2004: 4, by original designation.   Diagnosis.Body length: Male 10.0– 10.5 mm; female 8–12.0 mm. Antennae positioned low on frons, slightly shorter than head length; flagellum slightly longer than combined length of scape and pedicel; scape short and cylindrical; 2–3 poorly defined rows of postocular setae in both male and female; pleuron with longitudinal stripe of velutum; velutum patches present on hind and fore femora, patch on hind femur relatively small; hind femur distinctly longer than fore and mid femora; anteroventral, subapical seta absent on hind femur; wing with dark banding, cell m3closed; gonocoxites without velutum patches; medial atrium between gonocoxites absent; dorsal apodeme of parameral sheath ‘T’- shaped; large ventral bulb present basally on distiphallus, projecting externally of genitalic capsule between gonocoxites; anterior process of female tergite 8 narrow; three spermathecae; spermathecal sac small, simple, spherical in shape.   Comments.  Acraspisoidesis very similar in appearance to  Acraspisa, although it is much larger in size, has multiple rows of postocular setae in the male, and lacks an acuminate scutellum. Leg and abdominal colouration is variable in both species. Unique to species of this genus is the relatively small patch of velutum on posteroventral surface of the hind femur. In all other agapophytine s.s.genera, this patch is much more elongate. Phylogenetic analysis by Hill & Winterton (2004)placed  Acraspisoidesas the sister genus of all other Agapophytinae ( sensu Winterton et al.2001). Although males are unknown for  A. monticola  sp. nov., the two species of  Acraspisoidesare easy to differentiate based on female body colouration.  Included species.  Acraspisoides helviartaHill & Winterton,  A. monticola  sp. nov.
