Xenomyia patersoni Zielke, 1970 View in CoL
Diagnosis. (modified from Zielke 1970). Length: 4–5 mm. Eyes bare. Fronto-orbital plates enlarged, completely suppressing frontal vitta and covered with short dense setulae; ocellar setae absent in male and present in female; proboscis slender, elongate and glossy dark brown; prosternum bare; anepimeron bare; posthumeral seta present. Dorsocentrals 2:3, katepisternals 1:2. Fore tibia without a posterior seta; hind tibia with only one median anterodorsal seta. Claws not elongated. Calypter yellow with brownish margins; halter yellow.
Notes. Described from male and female from South Africa, Johannesburg , Transvall. Holotype male deposited at NHMUK. According to Zielke (1970) this species resembles X. azurescens but can be easily distinguished by the anteroventral seta in the apical third of the hind femur and the absence of the anteroventral seta on the hind tibia.
