  • Botanophila Lioy, 1864 Diagnosis. Male eyes usually holoptic; interfrontal seta present; proclinate orbital seta usually absent; arista pubescent; mid tibia with 1–3 pd seta; prealar seta well developed; scutellum with two long marginal pairs of setae and a shorter discal pair, and with fine pubescence hairs on ventral surface; proepisternum, meron and anepimeron bare; pregonite small, and with two robust setulae; distiphallus reduced (adapted from Suh & Kwon 2008). An unusual character of the species herein described is the male dichoptic eyes, identical to female (Figs 1A, 2A, 3A), whereas the male terminalia is Botanophila - type, with pregonite and distiphallus reduced, and the cerci (fused into a cercal plate) long and apically furcated (Figs 4B, 5B, 6B).
