status

 

Limnophora helenae Pont, 1977: 132 View in CoL .

Holotype male in MRAC. A series of paratypes seen.

Diagnosis. Arista almost bare; prosternum without setulae; mid femur with 2 preapical setae; mid tibia with one posterior seta and without an anterodorsal seta; lower katepisternal seta more or less equidistant from the other two; costal spine present and strong.

Notes. Described from St. Helena Island. Terminalia of male and female illustrated in the original description ( Pont 1977: Figs 113–117 View FIGURES 104 – 119 ). It runs in Emden’s (1951) key to couplet 66 and can be differentiated from L. parallelifrons Emden by the characteristic colour pattern of the scutum and the presence of the anterior postsutural intralar seta.
