Drosophila Drosophila nigrodumosa Species "from Venezuela": Wasserman 1982a: 95; Wasserman 1982b: 54, 59.

Non-type material.

strain 514.8 (25 km S of Mérida, Mérida, Venezuela) [nickname: bushy tail], 1979: 2 ♂♂ (dissected) plus 3 ♀♀ (MZSP); 1 ♂, 3 ♀♀ (AMNH).

Male terminalia.

Epandrium (Fig. 4A View Figure 4 ) posteriorly microtrichose, bearing about 1 upper and 11 lower setae; ventral lobe remarkably concave on ventral margin, distally pointed sharply, partially covering surstylus. Cercus (Fig. 4A View Figure 4 ) mostly microtrichose, anteromedially fused to epandrium. Surstylus not microtrichose, with about 9 cone-shaped prensisetae in apical row, ca. 20 conspicuous outer cone-shaped setae, 2 outer and 4 inner setae of usual shape. Decasternum as in Fig. 4A View Figure 4 . Hypandrium (Fig. 4A View Figure 4 ) about 1 ½ longer than epandrium, anterior margin convex; posterior hypandrial process and dorsal arch absent; gonopod not microtrichose, connected to paraphysis by membranous tissue, bearing one long seta on anterior inner margin. Aedeagus long (Fig. 4B-D View Figure 4 ), subdistally expanded dorsoventrally, bifid and slightly turned dorsad at dorsal tip (Fig. 4D View Figure 4 ); subapically microtrichose at ventral margin; dorsal cleft ca. 2/3 length of aedeagus (Fig. 4C View Figure 4 ); paraphysis not microtrichose, connected to gonopod by membranous tissue, narrow anteriorly, wide distally, submedially bearing 1-2 setulae dorsally. Aedeagal apodeme curved ventrad, laterally flattened, ca. 1/3 aedeagus length and fused to it, posterodorsally bifid (Fig. 4C View Figure 4 ). Ventral rod dorsoventrally flattened, completely fused to aedeagal apodeme.
