Revision of the subgenus Udamochiras of Melaloncha beekilling flies (Diptera: Phoridae: Metopininae) Brown, Brian V. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 2004 2004-01-31 140 1 1 42 3ZL2G BRUES [947,1283,599,623] Insecta Phoridae Melittophora Animalia Diptera 2 3 Arthropoda species salti  A section of the abdomen, apparently corresponding to intersegment 7–8 inmost other phorids, is modified in  M. salti(and  Melalonchaspecies, see below). This section bears a long, dorsal sclerite in  M. salti. The apical section of the abdomen is extremely small, forming a stylet as in  Melaloncha(below), but I could not observe details of the structure without further, potentially damaging, dissection. New material of this species is needed.
