Description
Summary:Prochyliza lundbecki (Duda, 1924) Piophila (Liopiophila) lundbecki Duda 1924: 162. Type locality: Iceland (Dyrefjord). Holotype (♂) in ZMUC. Material examined. 1 ♂ (ZMUC): Iceland, Stykkishólmur; 17.iv.1938. Diagnosis. The brush of long, yellowish hairs at the posteroventral apical part of middle tibia of P. lundbecki males is extremely distinctive (Fig. 5 E). The following combination of characters is also distinctive of P. lundbecki: lower two- to three quarters of the frons orange; gena black; front coxa darkened; mid and hind tibiae mostly black; hind coxa with a comb of short, stout setae. Remarks. Nielsen et al. (1954) described a third-instar piophilid larva which they suggested could belong to Liopiophila varipes or P. lundbecki. However, the morphology of the cephaloskeleton and the anterior spiracles figured by Nielsen et al. (1954), as well as the presence of two rows of spines on the ventral creeping welts, strongly resemble L. varipes larvae (Martín-Vega et al. 2014). Biology. The larvae are ... : Published as part of Martín-Vega, Daniel, 2014, On the identity of Prochyliza nigrimana (Meigen) and Prochyliza nigricornis (Meigen) (Diptera: Piophilidae), with a synopsis of Prochyliza Walker and description of a new species, pp. 277-292 in Zootaxa 3893 (2) on page 287, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3893.2.7, http://zenodo.org/record/224982 ...
