Dacus (Psilodacus) gabonensis White

Dacus gabonensis White, 2006: 133

Material. TOGO: 1 male, Akpossa Sodo, 2 – 21.i.1982, G.J. Steck ( TAU); 1 male, Kpalime, 12.i.1982, G.J. Steck ( TAU).

Remarks. New to Togo. White (2006) described this species based on two females and placed it in the Merzi group because of its apparent similarity to D. merzi including the extensive covering of microtrichia in cell c. The discovery of a male indicates that its pecten is vestigial (data included in revised key; revised couplet 255). The original description (based on females) said all femora were bicoloured; this male has entirely yellow fore- and hindfemora. Further to the description, the aculeus apex is pointed (apex exposed in paratype).
