Scarbrough, Aubrey G. & Perez-Gelabert, Daniel E., 2008, Review of the West Indian species of Efferia Coquillett (Diptera: Asilidae): Part 1. Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Cuba, and Jamaica, Insecta Mundi 2008 (49), pp. 1-29 : 27

Efferia species A

Fig. 1 , 49-51

Material examined. Cuba: Santiago de / Las

Vegas [Havana province] / Cuba / 14.v.1920 /

S.C. Bruner (1 m, USNM).

Remark. Efferia species A is essentially iden-

tical to Ef. bromleyi and Ef. species B in general

body characters but is distinguished from them

by the combined characters of the male terminalia

(Fig. 49-51), especially the apical shapes of the

epandrium and gonocoxite, and the long ventral

gonocoxal setae which become decreasingly shorter

apically.
