Kurahashi, 1987 : 70 Lehrer (2005: 150) Revision of the Bengalia torosa Wiedemann, 1819 species-group (Diptera: Calliphoridae), with notes on the systematic position of B. robertsi Kurahashi, 1987 and B. subnitida James, 1964 Rognes, Knut Zootaxa 2018 2018-03-07 4391 1 1 71 LH6J Kurahashi, 1987 Kurahashi 1987 [151,574,1529,1555] Insecta Calliphoridae Bengalia Animalia Diptera 63 64 Arthropoda species robertsi     Bengalia robertsi  Kurahashi, 1987: 70. HoloType ♂(BPBM; examined), by original designaTion. TypelocaliTy:  PapuaNew Guinea( Morobe Province, Kulolo Creek, Bulolo).    Temaseka robertsi:  Lehrer (2005: 150). [Lehrer copied the original description, including the figures, and remarked “[n]ous ne connaissons pas cette espèce, …”.]   Type material examined.HOLOTYPE ♂ (BPBM), labelled as shown in Fig. 257. The dried out terminalia (not examined) are situated in a glass microvial, with a cork stopper, pinned together with the specimen ( Fig. 257).   Discussion.This species lacks discal setae on T5 and was included in the  Bengalia torosaspecies-group (Gangelomyiinae) by Lehrer (2005). Lehrer (2005), copying Kurahashi’s description in toto, placed  B. robertsiin his newly created nominal genus  Temasekatogether with  B. concavaMallochand  T. mallochiLehrer, on the basis of alleged similarities in the distiphallus. By his own admission, he had not seen any material himself (“[n]ous ne connaissons pas cette espèce”). The greater ampulla is gourd-shaped (i.e., pointed at its lower end) ( Figs 259, 262), which places it in the  Bengalia labiataRobineau-Desvoidyspecies-group. Note also the position of a particular seta (the Hough seta) inside of the row of two sasetae ( Fig. 262). This seta is mentioned by Kurahashi under another name (… “first postsutural iais located laterad of longitudinal intraalar line, …”). This seta is also present in  Bengalia labiataRobineau-Desvoidy(KR) but it is usually absent in the genus  Bengalia. Rognes (2011b: 19)discussed the occurrence of the Hough seta in the Bengaliinae. The fore tibia has a single strong vseta ( Figs 260– 261). I cannot locate the single pseta mentioned by Kurahashi. I have not examined the terminalia, but I find no evidence of semidomes or a distal lip process on the distiphallus in the figures published by Kurahashi (1987). I leave a more detailed description of the distiphallus to revisers of the  Bengalia labiataspecies-group.
