description: <i>CITROGRAMMA HERVEBAZINI</i> (CURRAN, 1928) <i>Syrphus hervebazini</i> Curran, 1928: 207. Lectotype: &amp;male;, BMNH, designated by Wyatt (1991) Type locality: Malaysia: Camerons Highlands, Rhododendron Hill. Curran, 1928: 199, 207, 1931a: 313. <i>Syrphus circumdatus</i> of Curran, 1928 (in part); Knutson <i>et al</i>., 1975 (in part). <i>Citrogramma hervebazini</i> of Vockeroth, 1969: 95, fig. 7; Knutson <i>et al</i>., 1975: 311; Wyatt, 1991: 155, 157, 164. <i>Geographical distribution:</i> Malay Peninsula (Pahang), Borneo (Sarawak). <i>Differential diagnosis:</i> Peculiar species with yellow gena, broad black facial vitta, scutellum with a medial triangular black macula (Fig. 29), pro- and mesotibia yellow (brownish distally and basally), and large male genitalia with surstylus bearing long tufts of hairs. An interesting character is the black halter capitulum (see Figs 29, 41). <i>Citrogramma hervebazini</i> keys near <i>C. solomonense</i> but they are quite distinct as noted in the identification key. <i>Citrogramma hervebazini</i> has similar male genitalia to the one of <i>C. shirakii</i>, but they have significant morphological differences. <i>Citrogramma hervebazini</i> has yellow face with black medial vitta, scutellum with black macula, metafemur black, and halter capitulum black. Although male genitalia are similar in shape, <i>C. hervebazini</i> ’s genitalia are larger, having broader protuberance of the surstylus and larger superior lobes (see Figs 151, 152). <i>Remarks:</i> This taxon was designated the type species of the genus <i>Citrogramma</i> by Vockeroth (1969: 95). Curran (1928) based his new species <i>C. hervebazini</i> on four males but he did not designate a holotype. Wyatt (1991) studied three of these four males, and designated a lectotype and paralectotypes. The fourth male studied by Curran is deposited at the AMNH and included here as a paralectotype. Lectotype male deposited in The Natural History Museum, formerly British Museum (Natural History) (London, UK) and labelled: ‘PAHANG, F.M.S./ ‘Cameron’s High–/lands.’/ <i>Rhododendron Hill</i> ft./ <i>5200 14 th</i> June, 1923/H.M.
