Fannia dodgei Seago, 1954: 4 . Holotype male and paratypes at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). Typelocality: Panama, David.

Diagnosis. these characters apply only to the male sex. General coloration black with abdomen trimaculate (Fig. 3); 2 pra; hind coxa with 1 seta on posterior margin; hind femur on ventral surface with pre-apical protuberance, 1 row of 6–7 av strong and close together on basal half, 1 strong pre-apical (Fig. 23), ventral surface on basal half densely setulose with short and strong setae, 1 row of pv that increase in length towards the apex, apical most setae with curved apices (Fig. 41); hind tibia with 1 d on edge of apical third and 1 pre-apical, 1 row of 7–8 ad, 1 apical av; sternite 1 bare; sternite 5 as in Fig. 59; terminalia (Figs. 77, 95): epandrium wider than long, with long setae and 2 apical most developed setae that cross apically; cercal plate V- shaped and fused only apically, with long and sinuous setae, strongly setulose; surstylus fused with epandrium, straight and hooked apically, with short setae mainly on apical region and setulose on inner surface, latero-ventral projection with strong apical setae; bacilliform process absent; hypandrium and associated structures as in Fig. 113.

Biology. nothing is known about the biology of F. dodgei . According to collecting data, it is associated with pig carrion, having potential forensic relevance.

Comments. Fannia dodgei occurs in the Neotropical (Chillcott 1961) region. In coloration and size the male is similar to male of Fannia snyderi Seago, but differs in the chaetotaxy of the hind femur, having two strong preapical setae on the anteroventral surface, the posteroventral surface without a row of setae, hind tibia on anterior dorsal surface with two or three setae and anteroventral surface with one seta on margin of apical third. This species belongs to the sub-group pusio ( canicularis group) (Chillcott 1961; Albuquerque et al. 1981).
