Dohrniphora avispasensis sp. n.

( Figs 63–64)

Species recognition. This species is recognized by the combination of an elongate group of peglike setae with a small, more distal rounded lobe.

Description. Note: colors have been distorted in this specimen due to air drying. Body length: 2.19 mm. Head: Frons dark brown, second row of setae straight. Flagellomere 1 oval, apically pointed, orange. Palpus of normal size, presumably yellow (difficult to discern the color in the air-dried specimen). Thorax: Scutum brown. Scutellum light brown, with 2 pairs of setae; anterior seta one-half length of posterior seta. Pleuron light brown to yellow. Costa 0.5 wing length. Halter yellow. Legs yellowish-brown. Forecoxa in lateral view yellowish-brown. Foretibia with 4 dorsal setae. Foretarsomeres 1–3 enlarged, inflated. Midcoxa brown. Hind coxa yellowish-brown. Hind coxal lobe yellow, short, narrow, dorsally curved. Posterior face of hind femur with elongate, basal, double to triple row of peglike setae, more distally with small rounded lobe ( Figs 63–64). Abdomen: Abdominal tergite 1 brown, tergites 2–6 mostly yellow, with small lateral darker markings. Venter of abdomen yellow, with few longer setae on segment 5. Male terminalia dark brown, cercus brown.

Distribution. Known from a single site in Peru.

Derivation of specific epithet. Named for the type locality.

Dohrniphora fulleri sp. n.

( Figs 65–66)

Species recognition. This species is distinguished from others of the D. metatarsalis group by the group of basal setae, followed by a distally tapering concavity. Some other, non- D. metatarsalis -group species, such as D. incisuralis and D. nebulisilvensis , have a similar hind femur, but differ in the shape of the concavity, pattern of peglike setae, and lack of enlarged foretarsomeres.

Description. Body length: 2.31–2.97 mm. Head: Frons brown, second row of setae straight. Flagellomere 1 round, unusually small, brown. Palpus of normal size, light brown. Thorax: Scutum light brown. Scutellum brown, with 2 pairs of setae; anterior seta one-half length of posterior seta. Pleuron whitish-yellow to light brown. Mean costal length 0.53 wing length, range 0.53–0.54. Halter yellow. Legs yellowish-brown. Forecoxa in lateral view whitish-yellow. Foretibia with 4 dorsal setae. Foretarsomeres 1–3 enlarged, inflated. Midcoxa brown. Hind coxa whitish-yellow. Hind coxal lobe light brown, elongate, narrow, pointed ventrally. Posterior face of hind femur with basal, somewhat rectangular group of peglike setae; more distally with distally-tapering concavity ( Figs 65–66). Abdomen: Abdominal tergite 1 yellow, with faint brown transverse marking, tergites 2–6 yellow medially, anteriorly and posteriorly, dark brown laterally, with medial yellow area decreasing in every tergite posteriorly. Venter of abdomen whitish-yellow, with sparse setae. Male terminalia with epandrium yellowish-brown, hypandrium brown, and cercus yellow.

Distribution. Amazonian Colombia and Brazil.

Derivation of specific epithet. Named for our colleague Dr. Ed Fuller, who has collected many useful phorid specimens for us.
