Galeopsomyia sulcata (Howard), LaSalle & Schauff (1992:31).
Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava solid (Fig. 669); genal carina present and strong; mesoscutellum (Fig. 668) with strong reticulation and elongate meshes, submedian grooves strong and diverging slightly towards posterior part, with a complete median groove; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 668) with strong carinae and strong reticulation, callus with two setae; petiole very short, just a narrow band; gaster (Fig. 668) 2.1× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal carinae laterally, tergites with strong reticulation.
Redescription. Female holotype: length of body 1.7mm.
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel pale brown, flagellum brown. Head with frons metallic bluish-green with scrobes black, clypeus dark brown; vertex metallic bluish-green. Thoracic dorsum metallic bluish-green. Legs with coxae dark yellowish-brown to pale brown, with metallic tinges; trochanters yellowish-brown; femora pale brown with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-white, T4 brown. Petiole dark brown. Gaster with Gt 1 metallic bluish-green, Gt 2-7 dark brown with metallic tinges; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a solid clava. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeal area smooth, frons rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with a strong genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; with a weak median groove in posterior half; with six scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation and elongate meshes; submedian grooves strong and diverging slightly towards posterior part; with a complete median groove; with about six setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with median carina.
