Dacus (Lophodacus) rufoscutellatus (Hering)

Psilodacus rufoscutellatus Hering, 1937: 259 Other View in CoL synonyms: White (2006: 121)

Material. UGANDA: 1 male, 2 females, S.W., Kabale-Ketuna Rd., 1900m., 23.xii.1995, I. Yarom & A. Freidberg ( TAU).

Remarks. The male and one female from this series have what appears to be a medial vitta, in the form of an orange stripe which broadens posteriorly, and reaches the scutello-scutal suture. This mark is not the same bright colour as the xanthine areas of this species and is therefore probably not a true vitta. Furthermore, both specimens are teneral and this marking may have disappeared had the specimen been allowed to develop fully. None the less this mark could be misinterpreted as a vitta and the revised key (revised couplet 114) reflects this possibility.
