Neosilba turgidiphallus
Neosilba turgidiphallus belongs to the same cryptic complex that includes N longicemta and is very close to Neosilba cormiphallus. It can be easily separated from Neosilba cornuphallus by the pattern of prensisetae, shape of cerci and the shape of aedeagus right after the "C" shaped base.
Description: Holotype: Male. Head slightly oval, frons narrows toward lunula, with 8 setae right above margin of lunule; lunule with 5 setae at each side. Antenna with pubescent arista, arista longer than first flagellomere; gena width similar to first flagellomere width, with 2 prominent oralvibrissa- like setae. Palpus large and moderately broad without prominent setae. Ocellai, vertical and superior frontal bristles missing. Thorax: Anepisternum with 6 prominent posterior bristles dorso-ventrally aligned and 5 superior anterior bristles dorso-ventrally aligned. Katepisternum with 2 prominent bristles and 2 clusters of setae longitudinally aligned close to the bristles cited above, one with 4 setae and the other with 3 setae Episternum and epimeron with 1 prominent bristle Prosternum bare. Scutellum with bristle pattern common to genus, and 2 apical basal setae and 5 lateral marginal setae. Wings hyaline, cahpters with white fringes and a cluster of 11 long and black setulae at fold. Abdomen: Triangular shaped; last tergite approximately 2.5X larger than preceding ones. Last abdominal stermte with stout long bristles. Male genitalia: Aedeagus larger at median portion (Fig. 10), apex very large after bent ventrally
(Fig 10). Paramere ligulate, and setulose in inner maigin (Fig 10) Surstylus with prominent setae along ventral margin, anterior maigin with 5 longsetae curved in the direction of aedeagus (Fig. 10); a cluster of 5 prensisetae in position perpendicular to aedeagus, and 3 more spaced parallel to aedeagus (Fig. 11), 1 seta in front of the cluster of prensisetae; surstylus exposed in median portion. Setae in posterior ventral margin of surstylus less spaced; the spacing of setae of surstylus margin grows in posterior anterior direction. Cerci lobose and short Epandrium pilose until median portion of genitalia with thin and long setae in the posterior margin and lobe (Fig. 11)
