Gymnochiromyia punctata : Ebejer 1996

Gymnochiromyia punctata Ebejer, 1996 Figs 2f, 21, 22 Gymnochiromyia punctata: Ebejer 1996: 297. Although this is not a Southern African species, it is included here as the only other species known from the Afrotropical Region until now. The type series has been reexamined and additional material listed below have been studied. The holotype had not been dissected, but a drawing was given of the postabdomen in situ. As more detailed postabdominal dissections are now required, the macerated postabdomens of a male and a female from the type locality (though not from the type series) are here illustrated. Material examined: ♂ holotype and 15 ♂ 11♀paratypes (NMC); YEMEN: 1♀Ta’izz, 5.i–2.ii.1998, light trap, A.van Harten & A.Awad (NMNW); 1 ♂ 1♀Ta’izz, x.1999, light trap, A.van Harten & A. Awad (TAU); 1 ♂ same data (NMNW); 1 ♂ same data (NHML); 1 ♂ 1♀Sana’a, vii.1999, light trap, A.van Harten (NMSA); 1♀3.iv.1999, light trap, A.van Harten (NHML).Published as part of Ebejer, M.
