Papp, L.: Afrotropical species of the genus Diplochasma, subgenus Sauteromyia (Diptera: Lauxaniidae)

Male genitalia (Figs 5-6) with epandrium much higher than broad (Fig. 6). Epand­rium short dorsally, much longer and widely rounded ventrally (Fig. 5), without any trace of surstylar lobe. Cerci rather high. Parameres comparatively long (Fig. 6), in profile slightly S-curved, apex blunt and slightly broadened. Aedeagal apodeme not broadened basally. Discussion - D. (S.) aphanio signât a sp. n. keys out to couplet 7 in our key above. The characters of the body allow a safe separation from D. (S.) shewelli sp. n., which is a related species indeed. In addition, male genitalia distinctly different: epandrium much higher than broad, parameres slightly shorter and definitely broader in profile, and their apex is broadened api­cally. Etymology -The specific epithet refers to its faint spots on the wing. Figs 5-6. Diplochasma (Sauteromyia) aphaniosignata sp. n., male paratype: 5 = genitalia, lateral view; 6 = parameres with contour of epandrium, anterior view. Scale bar: 0.2 mm for both
