Coniceromyia brachypoda
sp. nov.
(

K–L, 24F, 27D)
Diagnosis
(male). Anepisternum dorsally setulose, hind femur with broad band of tiny blunt setulae (dorsal setulae thicker), left epandrial process with dorsal medially directed lobe (
Fig. 24F
).
Coniceromyia brachypoda
shares these characteristics and a very similar hypopygium with
C. dasypoda
,
C. amazonensis
, and
C. hadrochaeta
. These four species can be differentiated mostly by their foremetatarsus chaetotaxy and processes (
Figs. 8F, 8A, 8L, 8Q
), in
C. brachypoda
with anterior excavation bearing few setulae, setulose anteroapical process, seta at base of excavation approximately half length of excavation, and strong seta at base of the anteroapical process.
