Dacus (Leptoxyda) brunnalis White & Goodger
Dacus (Leptoxyda) brunnalis White & Goodger, 2009: 20.
Size. Medium, wing length, 8.2 mm.
Male
Head:
Pedicel+first flagellomere not longer than ptilinal suture. Face, antennal furrow with a dark spot; tear-drop shaped; occupying almost whole width and lower have of furrow. Frons, frontal setae 2, orbital setae 1. Thorax:
Scutum predominantly dark red-brown, with a black mark anterior to notopleural xanthine and mesal of lateral vitta; postpronotal lobe yellow; notopleural callus yellow; notopleural xanthine wedge shaped (connected to notopleural callus); lateral (narrow) and medial postsutural vittae present. Scutellum without any dark patterning (except for narrow basal dark margin). Anepisternum with a stripe from notopleural callus to katepisternum; extended as a broad xanthine on katepisternum. Laterotergal xanthine confined to katatergite. Thoracic setae. Anterior notopleural seta present; anterior supra-alar seta absent. Wing:
Basal cell bc without an almost complete covering of microtrichia; cell c with more than 75% 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; 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:
Femora bicoloured (pale basally and red-brown in apical two-thirds to three quarters, dorsally; more extensively red-brown ventrally). Abdomen:
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. Tergite III with pecten, dense microtrichia adjacent end A1+Cu2; hindtibia preapical pad apparently absent.
Female
Unknown.
