Korneyev, V. A., 2012, Revision of the genus Pyrgotomyia Hendel (Diptera: Pyrgotidae), African Invertebrates 53 (1), pp. 187-187 : 194

Pyrgotomyia sp. cf. ciliata

Description:

Male. As described for P. ciliata .

Wing: 4.8–5.6 mm long, paler than described for P. ciliata holotype; vein R 2+3 with short, bifurcate or simple stump vein or without it, without conspicuous brown spots at R 4+5 and M apices.

Male genitalia: As described for the genus ( Figs 20, 21 ).

MOZAMBIQUE: 1♂ (dissected) “Port.[ugese] E Africa, Monapo [14.91694°S 40.30222°E], 5 x.1918, G.D.H. Carpenter, 1919–36” ( BMNH); 1♂ Amatongas [19.16861°S 33.76028°E], 6 x.1961, D. Cookson ( NMSA). Remarks: These specimens with higher probability may be conspecific with those listed below as P. richteri , the latter nominal species occurring in Ethiopia and South Africa; other species are known to occur in the subequatorial regions only. However, as no females from Mozambique are known so far, there is also a possibility that they belong to P. temporalis .
