KENYA: 1 male, Rift Valley, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, 1825m., 0o2.62’N, 36o58.53’E, 1 – 14.vii.2006, malaise trap, R.S. Copeland (BMNH). TANZANIA: 1 Female, Same, Rt.B1, 8 – 16.ix.1992, A. Freidberg, (TAU).</p><p>Remarks. These specimens represents the first record of the species from East Africa although they differ from southern African specimens in lacking anterior supra-alar setae (variant included in revised key; revised couplet 137), and in having the anepisternal stripe extended onto the katepisternum. White (2006) noted in coded description data (provided on CD-ROM) that the aculeus “appears laterally compressed” but did not transcribe this annotation to the main paper. A specimen from Tanzania appears to be the same species and has distinct lateral compression, and bilateral symmetry in the lateral view, i.e. the aculeus displays what White (2006) called “torsion”. Re-examination of the holotype of D. doryloides (BMNH) confirms that it is similar (the holotype of L. fuscinervis, USNM, was re-examined by A.L. Norrbom, pers comm., but its aculeus was insufficiently exposed). Aculeus “torsion” is otherwise only known in subgenera Didacus ( Mulgens and Insolitus groups) and Lophodacus ( Brevis group), and appears to have evolved separately in each case, and there is no reason to revise the subgeneric position of this species. An unusual feature of the Tanzanian specimen is that it apparently has a pair of dorsocentral setae, the left better developed than the right, and each placed slightly forward of the level of the posterior supra-alar seta (see Introduction).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03933018FFD4FFAEC18BFACEFBD41B28	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

MOZAMBIQUE: 1 male, Gorongoza, 18.3S, 34.02E, 1 – 2.xii.2006, trapped with mixed male lure (cue lure, methyl eugenol, trimedlure), P. Schule (MRAC).</p><p>Remarks. White (2006) was not able to study the type of D. devure and similarly, Hancock (1985b) did not study the type of D. africanus . The males of both these species are reported to be attracted to cue lure, i.e. 4-(p -acetoxyphenyl)-2-butanone (White 2006). The discovery of a male from Mozambique which clearly ran to D. devure in the key by White (2006), and which was lure collected, prompted further consideration of the separation of D. devure from D. africanus, which was as follows: laterotergite xanthine completely confined to the katatergite in D. africanus, or slightly extended onto the anatergite in D. devure . A further 6 males were recently (2009) collected using cue lure in Mozambique by M. De Meyer (MRAC) and selected images were supplied to the authors. These show a continuous range of variation between the xanthine being confined to the katatergite, to it also covering one-third of the anatergite; the costal band in each case was narrower than normally observed in D. vertebratus, as indicated by couplet 167 of the key in White (2006). In conclusion, there is no evidence to support the continued listing of D. devure as a separate species, and it is here placed as a synonym to D. africanus . The continued separation of D. africanus from D. vertebratus is supported by the differing lure response of these species; males of D. vertebratus being attracted to methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate, which Hancock (1985a) named as “vert lure”.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03933018FFDAFFA7C18BF954FD1818CC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

SUDAN: 1 female, W. Halfa Dist., Ashkeit, 8.x.1962, S. Panelius (TAU)</p><p>Remarks. This species, in common with other members of sg. Didacus lacks a medial vitta. However, this specimen has a narrow yellow medial stripe along the midline of the postscutum. It was initially thought that it must be a misidentified D. siliqualactis Munro, 1939 a, a species with a medial vitta often confused with D. frontalis by earlier authors. This specimen has a velvet raised area on the frons, and only the midfemur bicoloured (others entirely pale), which are typical features of D. frontalis and clearly separate it from D. siliqualactis . This is therefore assumed to be D. frontalis which has a pale surface mid-line, typical of many specimens, unusually bright and yellowish and therefore liable to be misinterpreted as a medial vitta.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03933018FFDCFFA7C18BFD67FA9C1EB3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Didacus . However, new evidence presented here indicates that D. seguyi should be placed in sg. Lophodacus, and D. pusillator is therefore moved to the Binotatus group, pending the discovery of a male specimen from which to clarify its true affinities.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03933018FFDCFFA7C18BFAEFFAB71CBF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Costal band complete; deep, extending to vein R4+5 before wing apex; apically expanded into a large spot, reaching below vein M, and starts before end of vein R2+3. Anal streak present (colour extending beyond cell bcu). Cells bc and c slightly coloured (almost as dark as costal band). Without any crossbanding. Remainder of wing with a brownish tint, darkening posteriorly. Legs (fig. 43). Femora bicoloured (pale basally and red-brown in apical two-thirds to three quarters, dorsally; more extensively redbrown ventrally). Abdomen (fig. 40). Predominantly red-brown to fuscous, paler apically on tergite II and submedially on terga IV – V; terga I – V with a medial black stripe; shape as D. lounsburyii . Tergites I – V all fused. Male. Tergite III with pecten, dense microtrichia adjacent end A1+Cu2; hindtibia preapical pad apparently absent. Female. Unknown.</p><p>Etymology. Descriptive name for the brown (brunneus) colour over most of the wing (ala).</p><p>Material. Holotype male, CAMEROON: Mbalmayo, ix.2004, cue lure, M. Tindo (MRAC).</p><p>Remarks. Closest to D. fuscovittatus Graham, 1910, but differing from that species in the laterotergal xanthine being restricted to the katatergite and the longer narrower lateral vitta. Curiously, there is no indication of a raised tubercle near the apex of the male hind tibia, as normally seen in species with a pecten; however, there is flat area on which the setulae are finer than those on the rest of the tibia. The only other African species known to have a pecten but no hindtibia tubercle is D. notalaxus Munro, 1984 .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03933018FFC3FFB8C18BFE55FB461CA4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

White (2006) noted that D. masaicus and D. sphaeristicus Speiser, 1910 differ only in size, and the presence or absence of the anterior supra-alar seta; D. masaicus being larger and having the seta. It was suggested that the presence of a seta may be an allometric effect of larger size, and that these nominal species may be synonymous. However, for that to be true we would expect the two species to be regularly found together. This specimen, and the D. sphaeristicus reported below, represents the first known dual record of these species. Evidence that they are distinct has now been provided by a DNA study (Virgilio et al., in press), which indicated a very strong separation of these species, although they are placed together in a polytomy along with other clades of Cucurbitaceae associated species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03933018FFC5FFBEC18BFE76FCF01E72	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Freidberg (TAU).</p><p>Remarks. White (2006) tentatively placed D. nairobensis in the Mulgens group of sg. Didacus, because of its lack of an anterior notopleural seta, despite its lack of a complete covering of microtrichia in the narrow subbasal section of cell br. Discovery of a female shows that the aculeus lacks torsion and this species is therefore not a member of the Mulgens group. The general appearance of this species is astonishingly like that of D. apoxanthus, notably the unusual abdomen patterning. The reduced covering of microtrichia in the narrow subbasal part of cell br is also typical of sg. Lophodacus (although complete absence is more typical) and D. nairobensis is therefore transferred to that subgenus. However, it differs from D. apoxanthus in the presence of a pecten and the lack of any enlargement of the costagial setae. Note that although White (2006) correctly stated that the costal band is complete, these additional specimens indicate that it can be so narrow as to be mistaken for absent (allowed for in revised key; revised couplet 212).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03933018FFCDFFB6C18BFA87FBAF1D2F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Differs from other Dacus spp. in lacking microtrichia in the narrow subbasal section of cell br, combined with the lack of a facial spot (fig. 93) and presence of a notopleural xanthine (fig. 91). It also has an unusual wing pattern (very broad dark band from sc to behind Cu1; fig. 96), a dark triangle marking covering most of the scutellum (fig. 91) and the male lacks a pecten.</p><p>Description. Size. Small, wing length, 4.6 – 4.8 mm. Head (fig. 93). Pedicel+first flagellomere not longer than ptilinal suture. Face, antennal furrow without a dark spot. Frons, frontal setae 2, orbital setae 1. Thorax (figs 91, 94). Scutum black; postpronotal lobe bicoloured (yellow confined to posterior third); notopleural callus yellow; notopleural xanthine wedge shaped (connected to notopleural callus); lateral and medial postsutural vitta absent. Scutellum with a basal black triangle, leaving only narrow yellow margin. Anepisternum with a very narrow yellow stripe from notopleural callus to (or almost to) katepisternum; not extended onto katepisternum. Lateroterga without a xanthine. Thoracic setae. Anterior notopleural seta present; anterior supra-alar seta absent. Wing (fig. 96). Basal cells bc and c without a complete covering of microtrichia; cell bm without microtrichia. Narrow subbasal raised section of cell br without microtrichia. Crossvein R-M beyond middle of cell dm. Costal band absent (reduced to a small apical spot). Anal streak absent (at most with a trace of colour confined to cell bcu). Cells bc and c hyaline. Crossbanding; broad crossband on R-M which continues across cell dm. Legs (fig. 95). Femora brown. Abdomen (fig. 92). Predominantly black, except sometimes for a red-brown submedial area on tergite V (one specimen lacks this). Tergites I – V all fused. Male. Tergite III without pecten; no dense microtrichia adjacent end A1+Cu2; no hindtibia preapical pad. Female. Unknown.</p><p>Etymology. Descriptive name for the broad crossband that traverses (transversus) most of the wing.</p><p>Material. Holotype male, paratype male, MALAWI: Chitipa Distr., Jembya Resv., 18km. sse.

The complete lack of microtrichia in the narrow subbasal section of wing cell br places this species in sg. Lophodacus . It is similar to members of the Triater group (no face spot, triangular mark on scutellum, no male pecten) except in having the notopleural xanthine connected to the callus. The xanthine is medially narrowed, not in the form of a distinct wedge (as in Brevis group), which suggests doubtful homology. However, no species of sg. Lophodacus is known to have an isolated notopleural xanthine. Its unique wing pattern makes it an easy species to recognise.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03933018FFF3FF8EC18BFAD5FCEA1875	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Kaplan (TAU).</p><p>Remarks. The types of this species are lost (Munro 1984: 145) and it was erroneously placed in synonymy with D. (Psilodacus) annulatus Becker, 1903, by White (2006: 125). However, a single female (TAU) has since been examined which is distinct from all species described in that work and largely matches the original description of D. mochii, which is therefore removed from synonymy. The specimen runs close to D. chapini in the key of White (2006; couplet 288) but differs from that species in the more extensive yellowbrown patterning of the abdomen and the shape of the notopleural xanthine. The wing and aculeus are similar to D. chapini, a species previously confused with D. mochii by Collart (1940). The only discernable difference between the present specimens and the holotype (Bezzi, 1917: fig. 3), is that it has no expansion of the costal band across the anterior portion of crossvein R-M. However, D. chapini and D. maynei Bezzi, 1924 a, both vary with respect to that character and it is likely that D. mochii displays similar variation (both wings forms included in revised key). The subgeneric position of this species is questionable. Its notopleural xanthine is similar to that of D. annulatus and is interpreted as being of the wedge type. Its abdomen patterning is of a form typical of many sg. Didacus, but otherwise unknown in sg. Psilodacus . The form of its wing pattern (notably the dark area in the base of cell r4+5) and trace of a dark upper facial mark suggest sg. Psilodacus, and the lack of a male pecten (as noted in the type description) would be atypical of sg. Didacus . Pending discovery of more material it is retained in sg. Psilodacus .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03933018FFF5FF8CC18BF9F9FCE81E91	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Differs from other known species of sg. Psilodacus in having a narrow (sometimes vestigial) medial postsutural vitta (apparently absent in holotype male; fig. 110). As D. annulatus Becker, 1903 except: Thorax. Scutum with anterior supra-alar seta (fig. 11). Wing. Costal band apical spot very large, starting before end of vein R2+3 and reaching vein M (fig. 117). Abdomen. Tergite III dark laterally and medially (fig. 111).</p><p>Description. Size. Small, wing length, 4.7 – 5.2 mm. Head (fig. 113). Pedicel+1st flagellomere not longer than ptilinal suture. Face, antennal furrow without a dark spot; upper area with an inverted V-shaped dark marking. Frons, frontal setae 2, orbital setae 0. Thorax (figs 110, 114). Scutum black; postpronotal lobe yellow; black antero-mesally; notopleural callus yellow; notopleural xanthine wedge shaped (connected to notopleural callus); lateral postsutural vitta absent; medial postsutural vitta present but very narrow and sometimes apparently absent. Scutellum yellow, without any dark patterning (except for basal dark margin). Anepisternum with a broad yellow stripe from notopleural callus to katepisternum; extended onto katepisternum. Laterotergal xanthine confined to katatergite. Setae. Anterior notopleural and anterior supraalar setae present. Wing (fig. 117). Basal cells bc and c without an almost complete covering of microtrichia; cell bm without microtrichia. Narrow subbasal raised section of cell br with extensive covering of microtrichia. Crossvein R-M beyond middle of cell dm. Costal band complete, not extending below vein r2+3, except apically expanded into a large spot, reaching vein M, and starting before end of vein R2+3. Anal streak present but colour only narrowly extending beyond cell bcu. Cells bc and c hyaline. Without any crossbanding. Legs (fig. 115). Femora pale (yellowish) coloured. Abdomen (fig. 111). Predominantly black; with a yellow submedial (beside black midline) marking extending from halfway of tergite II to anterior of tergite IV, sometimes broadened on tergite II; orange yellow ceromata; sometimes with a small yellow mark antero-submedially on tergite V. Tergites I – V all fused. Male. Tergite III with vestigial pecten (fine pale setae only); no dense area of microtrichia adjacent end A1+Cu2; hindtibia without "pad". Female (figs 112, 116). Aculeus pointed, deeper than broad (probably not torsion).</p><p>Etymology. Descriptive name for vestigial medial vitta.</p><p>Material. Holotype male, KENYA: Nyanza, Ungoye, 1147m., 0o36.91’S, 34o5.52’E, 25.x. – 8.xi.2005, malaise trap, R.S. Copeland (NMKE). Paratypes: 1 female (BMNH), same data as holotype, 8 – 22.vi.2005, R.S. Copeland; 1 female (MRAC), same locality, 1127m., 0o36.795’S, 34o5.345’E, 17 – 31.viii.2005, malaise trap, R.S. Copeland.</p><p>Remarks. No previously described species assigned to sg. Psilodacus has even a trace of a medial vitta and the true position of this species is uncertain. It also lacks a true pecten, although a few long pale hairs could be regarded as a vestigial pecten. Note that the male also has some long setae on the baso-lateral corner of tergite IV which could be mistaken for a pecten.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03933018FFFAFF87C18BFA3DFD4519A7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

White (2006) reported examining a long series of reared specimens from Democratic Republic of Congo (1935), labelled “Fruits de Perinari”, which was assumed to be a misspelling of Parinari, a genus of Chrysobalanaceae . This genus also lends its name to a widespread African forest vegetation type (e.g. Karlowski 2006) and the specimens may therefore have been reared from an unidentified fruit in “ Parinari forest”, assuming such a vegetation type was recognised in 1935. White (2006) also examined a very badly damaged teneral male that was apparently reared from guava ( Psidium guajava, Myrtaceae) in Cameroon in 1982 but disregarded the host data on the assumption it represented a labelling error (data given on CD only). Further specimens have now been reared from guava in Cameroon thus confirming guava as a true host; the association with Parinari should now be regarded as doubtful.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03933018FFFDFF86C18BFDABFCDA1E1B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
