Description

This species is distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characters: Small to moderately small shore flies, body length 1.55–2.40 mm. Head: Medial facial carina above facial prominence shallow; labella broad, fleshy, shorter than mediproboscis; clypeus microtomentose, usually gray.
Thorax: Presutural supra-alar seta present. Pleural area lacking stripes. Wing with costal vein ratio 0.30–0.31; M vein ratio 0.37–0.42. Legs blackish brown to black; midtibia bearing numerous, erect setae along dorsal surface.
Abdomen: Male 5th sternal flap in lateral view (Fig. 49) moderately shallow, longer posteriorly, bearing several, tuberculate setulae apically; 5th medial process in lateral view (Fig. 49) elongate, conspicuously curved, C-shaped, bearing 4–5 setulae anteroapically. Male terminalia (Figs 45–48): Epandrium in posterior view (Fig. 45) like an inverted, laterally rounded, almost oval U; epandrium in lateral view (Fig. 46) relatively narrow dorsally, becoming wider ventrally than tapered to a broad point; cercus very robust, in posterior view (Fig. 45) as a elongate, pendulous, ventrolaterally projected process, becoming wider ventrally, apex flared, truncate, bearing numerous, long to very long setulae, very long setulae apicolaterally; cercus in lateral view (Fig. 46) essentially straight, widest subapically, then narrowed to blunt, ventral apex, some very long setulae curved apically or irregularly contorted; surstyli (ventral extensions of epandrium) in posterior view as nearly parallel, shallowly arched medially, narrow processes that bears a few setulae apically, surstylus in lateral view (Fig. 46) conspicuously arched, narrow, very slightly tapered process, not expanded apically; aedeagus in ventral view (Fig. 47) elongate, narrowly ovate, slightly tapered apically, in lateral view (Fig. 48) elongate, narrow, nearly straight; phallapodeme in lateral view (Fig. 48) narrowly triangular, keel narrow, prong-like, shorter than length, almost digitiform; gonite in ventral view (Fig. 47) somewhat bar-like, lateral margin shallowly sinuous, notched basally and medially pointed apically, bearing a subapical, ventral setula and an apical setula; gonite in lateral view (Fig. 47) wide basally, conspicuously but gently curved and tapered toward apex, with a subapical, setula and an apical setula.

Type material

The holotype male is labeled “Kern Riv. 4 - 1- [19]50 [handwritten by A. H. Sturtevant]/HOLOTYPE ♂ Allotrichoma robustum W. Mathis & T. Zatwarnicki USNM [red]/USNM ENT 00117959 [plastic bar code label].” The holotype male is double mounted (glued to a narrow, paper triangle), is in good condition (abdomen removed, dissected, stored in glycerin in an attached microvial), and is deposited in the USNM. Two paratypes are as follows: UNITED STATES. CALIFORNIA. Kern: Kern River (35°16.1'N, 119°18.4'W), 1 Apr 1950, A. H. Sturtevant (1♂; USNM). Nevada: Sagehen Creek (39°28.6'N, 120°07.9'W), 26 Jun 1974, R. L. Bugg (1♂; USNM). OREGON. Harney: (43°10'N, 119°0.1'W), 29 Jun 1953, A. B. Gurney (1♂; USNM).

Type locality

United States. California. Kern: Kern River (35°16.1'N, 119°18.4'W).

Distribution

(Fig. 50) Nearctic: United States (California, Oregon).

Etymology

The species epithet, robustum, is of Latin derivation and refers to the very robust cerci of this species.

Remarks

Among Nearctic species of Allotrichoma, Allotrichoma robustum has the most restricted distribution, being thus far known only from the Sierra Mountains in California and Harney County in Oregon.
