Drosophila dacunhai Mourão & Bicudo, 1967

( Fig. 10 )

Non-type material. Strain DAC (Petionville, Haiti): 80 males dissected .

Male terminalia. The structure that most differs in D. dacunhai is the ventral postgonite ( Fig. 10A–C ). This structure has pointed scales and a groove in its upper portion; besides, it is longer and slightly curved ( Fig. 10B, C ). In addition, the aedeagal apex is the most flattened and largest ( Fig. 10B, C ).
