4354D415661A5196AF4512E0BDE7D12C.taxon	description	Description Male. Length: 5 - 9 mm (Fig. 3). Head (Fig. 3 b): frons narrow, 1 / 5 of head width; frontal vitta prominent and visible 1 / 12 head width; gena 1 / 5 of head height; four reclinate orbital setae; anteriormost reclinate orbital almost equal to uppermost frontal seta; ocellar setae absent; outer vertical seta absent; fronto-orbital plate gold throughout inclusive of ocellar triangle; fronto-orbital plate with short blonde hairs interspersed among frontal setae; parafacial pale silver; facial ridge bare; palpus short digitiform, sparsely haired along outer margin; arista brown, distinctly thickened on basal 1 / 10, microtrichia at most 3 X as long as width of arista; postpedicel entirely orange; postocular region behind margin of eye upper half gold, with lower half including gena silver tomentose; upper half of occiput gold tomentose. It should be noted that in the case of the holotype of Telothyria aidani sp. n. the type specimen has dented eyes, a feature not normally present in the species. However, due to the condition of the remainder of the series this specimen was chosen as the best representative. Thorax (Fig. 3 a, c): golden tomentose, with one pair of distinct outer dorsal stripes, inner pair of stripes reaching up to halfway between insertion of first and second postsutural dorsocentral setae; thorax entirely covered in dense plumose blonde hairs; chaetotaxy: 4 - 5 postpronotal setae, basal setae arranged in a straight line; supra-alar setae 2: 3; intra-alar setae 1: 3; dorsocentral setae 3: 3; acrostichal setae 3: 3; katepisternum with three setae. Scutellum golden tomentose; two pairs of strong marginal setae (basal and subapical) and a small pair of crossed apical scutellar setae 1 / 5 th as long as subapical scutellars; basal scutellar setae subequal in length to subapical setae; subapical setae straight; underside of scutellum bearing plumose blonde hairs below basal scutellar setae. Legs: foreleg and midleg all yellow ground color, with only tarsal segments brown; hindleg yellow ground color on coxa and proximal half of femur and dark brown extending from distal half of femur to tarsal segments; anterior leg tibia with irregularly sized fringe of equally spaced setae along anteroventral surface, with two posterodorsal setae. Wings: basicosta ivory white; all veins bare, with only 1 - 2 setulae at base of R 4 + 5.; calypters pale white translucent with a narrow yellowish fringe, upper calypter with a fringe of long setulae along margin. Abdomen (Fig. 3 a, c): ground color yellow-orange; ST 1 + 2 brown over medial 50 %, with yellow ventrolaterally, extending into a longitudinal middorsal brown stripe terminating in a band along posterior edge of T 4; T 3 - T 5 with dense gold tomentum along anterior marginal 10 %, thinning and extending over remainder of tergite; T 5 orange ground color with gold tomentum, anterior edge of tergite with a slightly darker brown band and medial triangle; median marginal setae present only on T 4 and T 5; median discal setae absent. Male terminalia (Fig. 3 d, e, f): Sternite 5 with a wide deeply separated median cleft, widely U-shaped, margins tomentose; lateral lobes of sternite rounded and blunt apically, outer margins covered in strong setae; basal section of sternite 5 2 X as long as apical lobes. Cerci in posterior view sharply pointed, basally swollen along the basal 1 / 5, fused along entire length; medial undeveloped, entire structure narrow and needle-like spatha shaped. In lateral view cerci, with a strong beaklike downward curve, and several strong widely spaced setae along basal 1 / 5 th. Surstylus in lateral view rounded and curved at tip, overall narrow digitiform in appearance; fused with epandrium; when viewed dorsally surstyli appear inwardly convergent with a very slight club or swelling apically. Distiphallus 3 X as long as basiphallus and tubular, slightly pointed at apex. Female. Length: 5 - 7 mm (Fig. 4). Head (Fig. 4 b): as in male with the following exceptions: fronto-orbital plate 50 % gold; parafacial brilliant silver; frons 1 / 4 of head width; three inner reclinate orbital setae; two proclinate orbital setae; outer vertical seta present; palpus short and clubbed. Thorax (Fig. 4 a, c): katepisternum with three setae; meron with 6 - 7 typical meral setae. Legs: foreleg brilliant yellow ground color throughout; midleg and hindleg brilliant yellow ground color. Abdomen (Fig. 4 a, c): ground color brown dorsally on ST 1 + 2 and T 3 with orange laterally; T 4 entirely brown ground color; T 5 as in male; marginal setae present on T 4, T 5 only.	en	Fleming, AJ, Wood, D.

Scutellum golden tomentose; two pairs of strong marginal setae (basal and subapical) and a small pair of crossed apical scutellar setae 1 / 5 th as long as subapical scutellars; basal scutellar setae subequal in length to subapical setae; subapical setae straight to slightly divergent; underside of scutellum bearing regular non-plumose blonde hairs below basal scutellar setae. Legs: foreleg yellow ground color, midleg yellow coxa and half of femur yellow, remainder of femur and tarsi and tibia brown, hindleg dark brown extending from halfway along femur to tarsi; anterior leg tibia with regular fringe of short equally spaced setae along upper half of anteroventral surface, with one posterodorsal setae. Wings: basicosta ivory white; all veins bare, with only 1 - 2 setulae at base of R 4 + 5; calypters pale white translucent with a pale yellow fringe. Abdomen (Fig. 39 a, c): ground color yellow-orange; ST 1 + 2 brown over medial 30 %, with yellow ventrolaterally, extending into a longitudinal middorsal brown stripe up to posterior edge of T 4; T 3 and T 4 with dense gold tomentum along anterior marginal 10 %, thinning and extending over remainder of tergite; T 5 entirely orange with gold tomentum and a basal medial brown triangle; median marginal setae present only on T 4 and T 5; median discal setae absent. Male terminalia (Fig. 39 d, e, f): Sternite 5 with a narrow and shallow almost slit-like median cleft, lobes almost touching at midline, margins lightly pollinose; lateral lobes of sternite rounded apically, with 3 - 4 short weak setulae; basal section of sternite 5 subequal to slightly longer than length of apical lobes, median cleft only 1 / 4 length of apical section. Cerci in posterior view sharply pointed triangular slightly widening midlength to a slight rectangular shoulder along the basal section, equal in length to surstyli, fused along entire length; in lateral view, with a strong downward curve on apical 1 / 3; several strong widely spaced setulae along basal 2 / 3 rds. Surstylus in lateral view, almost equilateral along its length rounded at tip, slightly pinched at midpoint appearing digitiform or clubbed; surstylus appearing fused with epandrium; when viewed dorsally surstyli appear straight, almost parallel at apices. Distiphallus 1.5 X as long as basiphallus and tubular, slightly pointed at apex. Female. Length: 5 - 7 mm (Fig. 40). Head (Fig. 40 b): as in male with the following exceptions: fronto-orbital plate 30 % gold; parafacial brilliant silver; frons 1 / 4 of head width; two inner reclinate orbital setae; two proclinate orbital setae; outer vertical seta present. Thorax (Fig. 40 a, c): katepisternum with two setae; meron without any plumose hairs only 5 - 6 typical meral setae. Legs: foreleg yellow ground color, midleg yellow ground color on coxa, with brown overtones on femur, tarsi and tibia, hindleg with yellow basally darkening to brown apically up to dark brown tarsi; anterior leg tibia with regular fringe of short irregularly spaced setae along upper half of anteroventral surface, with 1 - 2 posterodorsal setae. Abdomen (Fig. 40 a, c): ground color brown dorsally on ST 1 + 2 and T 3 with orange laterally; T 4 entirely brown ground color; T 5 as in male.	en	Fleming, AJ, Wood, D. Monty, Smith, M.

95B4FE6704875BEDAA7DB795A869C8CB.taxon	description	Description Male. Head: frons narrow 1 / 10 - 1 / 8 of head width; 1 - 4 reclinate orbital setae; anteriormost reclinate orbital seta distinctly longer than uppermost frontal seta; ocellar setae most often absent, if present then these appearing short and underdeveloped, easily confused with vertical setulae arising behind anterior ocellus; eye bare, ventral margin below level of vibrissa; fronto-orbital plate ranging from shining silver or gold to brownish with a silver sheen; fronto-orbital plate with short black or blonde hairs interspersed among frontal setae; fronto-orbital plate with setae not extending below lower margin of pedicel; lower margin of face slightly lower than vibrissa almost not visible in profile; facial ridge bare in most species, the few exceptions possessing yellow almost inconspicuous hairs along margin; palpus either straight or with a slight club at apex, sparsely haired; arista ranging from bare to plumose, usually distinctly-thickened on basal 1 / 2, ranging in color from orange to dark brown-black. Thorax: gray to golden tomentose over a black to reddish-brown ground color; thorax covered in dense plumose blonde hairs or plumose hairs confined to lateral surfaces with disc of scutum covered in thin black hairs; prosternum bare; chaetotaxy: one proepimeral seta; one proepisternal seta; 4 - 5 postpronotal setae, basal setae arranged in a straight line; supra-alar setae 1 - 2: 3; intra-alar setae 1 - 2: 2 - 3; dorsocentral setae 3 - 4: 3 - 4; acrostichal setae 3 - 4: 3 - 4; katepisternum with 2 - 3 setae; meral setae usually absent in the traditional sense instead meral row replaced by a fan of long plumose hairs (Fig. 2 c). Scutellum with three pairs marginal setae; apical scutellar setae crossed apically, 1 / 8 - 1 / 10 th as long as subapical scutellars; basal scutellar setae equal in length to subapical setae, often slightly shorter; subapical setae straight, ranging from divergent to convergent; ranging from gray to golden pollinose. Legs: ranging in ground color from yellow to dark reddish-brown; coxae covered in dense plumose blonde hairs. Wing: slightly longer than abdomen; translucent slightly hyaline; all veins bare, with 1 - 2 setula at base of vein R 4 + 5; apical cell open at or just before the apex of wing; bend of vein M obtuse-angled. Abdomen: ground color ranging from a deep maroon, to different tonalities of yellow-orange with longitudinal middorsal brown markings; middorsal depression on syntergosternite 1 + 2 (ST 1 + 2) reaching to hind margin of tergite; median marginal setae present only on tergite 4 (T 4) and tergite 5 (T 5) (one exception Telothyria omissa sp. n., which lacks the marginal setae on tergite 4 (T 4 )); median discal setae absent on ST 1 + 2 - T 4, occasionally present on T 5; sex patch absent. Male terminalia: Sternite 5 with median cleft ranging from deeply excavated and smoothly V-shaped, to shallow and only slightly separated; margins either bare or covered in dense pollinosity; lateral lobes of sternite either sharply pointed, rounded apically or squared, sometimes with a small group of strong setulae along outer margins; basal section of sternite 5 subequal to slightly longer than length of apical lobes. Cerci in posterior view sharply pointed and triangular typically with a well defined basal shoulder separating upper lobe from apical section, ranging from slightly shorter to subequal in length of surstyli, fused along entire length; in lateral view, with a strong downward curve on apical 1 / 3, and several strong widely spaced setae along basal 2 / 3. Surstylus in lateral view, almost equilateral along its length, rounded at tip, sometimes slightly pinched at midpoint appearing digitiform, appearing fused with epandrium, when viewed dorsally straight and slender or with a slight sinusoidal curve, parallel at apices. Distiphallus either long and slender or short and stout, ranging from 1.5 X to 2 X as long as basiphallus and tubular, weakly tapering apically. Distiphallus, hinged at a strong acute angle with basiphallus, a synapomorphy of the Dexiinae. Female as in male except in the following aspects: head: bearing 2 - 3 pairs of proclinate orbital setae, as well as 2 - 3 pairs of reclinate inner orbital setae; one pair of outer vertical setae present; thorax: meron bearing either typical meral setae not plumose blonde hairs as in male (Fig. 2 d) or a mix of both plumose blonde hairs and regular setae (Fig. 2 e); legs: can display dimorphic coloration from males; abdomen: slightly more globose than males, coloration of the abdomen can be dimorphic between the sexes; female terminalia were not dissected, however external examination showed these to be unspecialized.	en	Fleming, AJ, Wood, D.

95B4FE6704875BEDAA7DB795A869C8CB.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Telothyria can be recognized most easily by the presence of long plumose hairs covering more than 50 % of the thoracic surfaces, a trait that was historically used to unify the genera within the tribe. In males of the genus, and many of the females, the meral setae are also replaced with these plumose hairs. Characters of note within Telothyria are: prosternum bare; fronto-orbital plate haired; parafacial bare; arista ranging from plumose to bare; ocellar setae weakly developed or absent; eye bare; females of all species with two pairs of well-developed proclinate orbital setae, absent in males; first postsutural supra-alar seta poorly developed in length at most 0.5 X second postsutural supra-alar; the three major setae of the postpronotum arranged in a straight line; most of the thorax covered in plumose blonde or coppery hairs (some species lack these setae dorsally) (Fig. 1); wings lacking costal spine. Abdomen with median marginal setae only on T 4 and T 5 (exception Telothyria omissa sp. n.), and discal setae absent.	en	Fleming, AJ, Wood, D. Monty, Smith, M.
