Diagnosis.
This species’ scutellum is similar to Atherigona flavifinis Muller, 2015 (fig. 16 in Muller 2015) and Atherigona latibasilaris Muller, 2015 (fig. 40 in Muller 2015) in having the apex of the scutellum yellow. However, the trifoliate process and hypopygial prominence differ greatly. It keys close to Atherigona hyalinipennis van Emden, 1959 and Atherigona s ecrecauda Séguy, 1938 using the keys provided by Deeming (1971) and Dike (1989) but the trifoliate process (Fig. 10 View Figures 4–11 ) of A. londti does not have the wing-like projections of the hood present as in A. secrecauda , nor does it have the cordiform median piece of A. hyalinipennis .
