Vasilij Sidorenko wrote me: This fly is one of few Drosophilidae with broaded head. Sometimes head may be normal. Distributed from Ryukyu to Java and Shri-Lanka. Mulgravea asiatica (Okada, 1964).

Paul Beuk wrote: ... but it certainly is not asiatica, as that should have a completely black abdomen. As is clear from the first and fourth image in the thread. Can Vasilij then confirm that this species is variable in this respect? If so, the key provided by De & Gupta (1995)uses an invalid character to separate asiatica and neoasiatica..

V.Sidorenko wrote that he had seen many material of M.asiatica from Taiwan. Neoasiatica differs from it by description – it is smaller and head metallic-blue. As for coloration of abdomen – this character vary. It may be light in young specimens and dark in others. He couldn’t write himself for his address is blocked. I hope I am good interpreter. |

Thanks! If he wants to register at the site, let me know (by PM) what address he uses and I'll create the account for him. Unfortunately there have been too many spam accounts registred with some ***.ru email address extensions to leave it open for automatic registration. Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |
