Dacus (Psilodacus) pergulariae Munro
Dacus (Metidacus) pergulariae Munro, 1938b: 163 Dacus (Psilodacus) miniatus Munro 1948: 31 Other combinations: White (2006: 135)
Material. ETHIOPIA: 1 male, 1 female, Bale, Bale Mountains, Micha River, 10km S. Goba, 3100m., 31.i.2000, A. Freidberg & I. Yarom ( TAU).
Remarks. These specimens are somewhat larger than those reported by White (2006), being up to 7.2mm wing length, and may be confused in the key with D. stylifer ( Bezzi, 1919) , but they lack the dark lateral abdomen markings of that species (corrected in revised key; revised couplet 263). These specimens also have bicoloured femora, whereas typical D. pergulariae have entirely pale femora. The paratype female D. miniatus , a synonym of D. pergulariae , is teneral but shows signs of having a bicoloured hindfemur. Most specimens used in the description of D. pergulariae by White (2006) were reared and may also have been incompletely coloured. In the absence of better data these non-reared specimens are assumed to be more mature or a variant form, but further study may indicate that some Ethiopian populations represent a distinct species, possibly already described as D. miniatus .
