Dacus (Ambitidacus) brevistriga Walker

Dacus brevistriga Walker, 1861: 322 ; lectotype des. Hardy 1959: 166 Ambitidacus brevistriga: Munro 1984: 120

Material. TANZANIA: 1 male, Mbeya, 35km. S., Rt.A345. 2200m., 1.ix.1996, A. Freidberg, ( TAU)

Remarks. First record for Tanzania. However, the specimen is not typical of the species, differing from South African specimens in scutum and abdomen colour pattern; scutum with a pair of closely approximated black stripes, one along acrostichal line and the other along dorsocentral line; terga I – V black laterally, broadly black on terga III – IV. The well developed pecten and yellow postpronotal lobe, clearly indicate that this specimen is not simply an aberrant D. katonae Bezzi ; which has a vestigial pecten, black scutum and abdomen, and fuscous to black postpronotal lobe.
