Spilogona biguttata Emden, 1951 (Figs 1–4) Holotype male seen; in good condition. One male paratype from Sierre Leone was dissected and illustrated. Male terminalia . Sternite 5 with posterior membrane deep; few setae on disc and with one isolated seta on each anterior lobe (Fig. 1); cercal plate and surstylus elongated (Figs 2,3), surstylus sinuous in dorsal view (Fig. 2); the relatively elongated cercal plate and surstylus resemble those of many Holarctic species of Spilogona , a genus in which considerable diversity of form in these external genital appendages is known (e.g. Huckett 1965; Gregor et al. 2016); aedeagal complex as in Fig. 4, hypandrium “U” shaped. : Published as part of Couri, Márcia S. & Pont, Adrian C., 2017, African Spilogona Schnabl: morphology of the male terminalia and description of a new species (Diptera: Muscidae), pp. 295-300 in Zootaxa 4277 (2) on page 295, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4277.2.12, http://zenodo.org/record/809757 : {"references": ["Emden, F.
