Fogaça, João M. & de Carvalho, Claudio J. B., 2018, Neotropical Lispe (Diptera: Muscidae): notes, redescriptions and key to species, Journal of Natural History 52 (33 - 34), pp. 2147-2184 : 2180-2181

Lispe tentaculata ( De Geer, 1776)

( Figures 1e , 3f , 5j , 6f , 7f , 8f , 21l )

The syntypes were destroyed and so diagnosis and redescription were not possible. Male terminalia: sternite 5 with a median, apical directed process in addition to the short and apically semi-membranous lateral process ( Snyder 1954) ( Figure 6f ).

Cercal plate longer than wide, with many setae; basal margin with a large shallow incision and apical margin with a medium central incision and two large shallow lateral incisions; narrow central apex and lateral rounded apex ( Figure 7f ). Phallus elongate; postgonite elongate; phallapodeme not enlarged on the apex ( Figure 8f ).

Additional material examined. USA – California, 1 ♀, 10 July 1930 ( MNRJ) . Peru – Cidade Universitária , 1 ♀, November 1970 R . Garcia col ., −12.0660, −77.0855 ( MNRJ) .

Distribution. Peru ( Figure 19l ).

Comments. An additional three specimens without labels (MNRJ) were analysed, and genitalia of one male were illustrated ( Figure 8f ). There are some differences from Hennig ’ s drawing of the phallus. It has a bent distal part but is not so large,

and the pregonite has the same length of phallus ( Figure 8f ; cf. Hennig 1960, p. 408, fig. 131).
