Key to species of Protothereva

1. Parafacial pruinescence entirely white; katepisternum with white setae; wing veins with dark maculation across apex of br, at fork of R2+3/R4+5, at fork of R4+5, and across apex of dc; cuticle of maxillary palpus yellow ....................................... grisea Malloch

­ Parafacial pruinescence dark brown or dark brown with ventral half gray; katepisternum lacking setae; wing veins without brown maculation; cuticle of maxillary palpus dark brown .................................................................................................................... 2

2. Parafacial pruinescence entirely dark brown; halter knob dark yellow; male hypoproct ( Fig. 10 ) with posterior margin deeply emarginate; furca ( Fig. 18 ) with anterolateral projection short, narrow ........................................................ peruensis Webb spec. nov.
