Micropygomyia (Sauromyia) Artemiev 1991

Description

Micropygomyia (Sauromyia) Artemiev, 1991

Sauromyia Artemiev, 1991: 74 (as subgenus of Micropygomyia). Type-species: Flebotomus oswaldoi Mangabeira, 1942. Additional references: Galati, 2003: 32 (listed).

Helcocyrtomyia Barretto, 1962: 96 (as subgenus of Lutzomyia). Additional references: Martins et al., 1978: 68. Lutzomyia species group oswaldoi: Theodor, 1965: 187; Lewis et al., 1977: 325; Young & Duncan, 1994: 675. Lutzomyia subgenus (Trichopygomyia): Forattini, 1971a: 101; Forattini, 1973: 292 (in part).

Diagnosis. Antennal ascoids short, not reaching the distal margin of flagellomere; palpus segment 5 longer than 3. Male: flagellomere 1 not surpassing the length of head; gonostylus with 4 or 5 spiniform setae; if only 4 spiniform setae the gonocoxite has a median tuft of setae, but if 5 the tuft present or absent. Female: cibarium with 4 horizontal teeth; flagellomere 1 as long as 0.75 the head length; flagellomere 2 with ascoids longer than one-half the length of the article, reaching or ending apical to the sensorial papilla; spermathecae annulated or smooth, common duct shortest than individual ducts (Galati 2003).

Remarks. Galati (2003) recognized two series of species, Mi. (Sau.) series atroclavata Fairchild, 1955, and Mi. (Sau.) series oswaldoi Barretto, 1962, which include 17 (one fossil species) and two species, respectively. In Mexico series oswaldoi is represented by one fossil and two extant species. There are no records of any other species of the atroclavata series.
