Description
This species is distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characters: Small to moderately small shore flies, body length 1.40–2.00 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. Wing with costal vein ratio 0.35–0.36; M vein ratio 0.47–0.52.
Abdomen: Male 5th sternal flap in lateral view (Fig. 25) relatively shallow but long, bearing 6–8, tuberculate setae; 5th medial process in lateral view (Fig. 25) robust, greatly enlarged basally, with a posterior projection, broadly pointed apically, bear row of setulae anteroapically. Male terminalia (Figs 21–24): Epandrium in posterior view (Fig. 21) ovately rounded on dorsal half, wider than high; epandrium in lateral view (Fig. 22) with anterior and posterior margins of dorsal half nearly straight and parallel sided; cercus robust, thick, in posterior view (Fig. 21) pointed dorsally, gradually broadened ventrally then rather abruptly curved laterally and ventrally as a slightly tapered, elongate process that bears numerous long setulae apically and along posterior margin; cercus in lateral view (Fig. 22) slightly curved, wider dorsally, ventral half nearly parallel sided, apex broadened and bearing setulae; surstyli in posterior view as parallel, narrow, elongate processes that bear setulae on apical portion, apex narrowly rounded; surstylus in lateral view shallowly curved, basal half slightly tapered, apical half almost parallel sided, apical portion bearing short setulae, apex tapered to narrow point; aedeagus in ventral view (Fig. 23) elongate, moderately narrowly ovate, tapered apically, in lateral view (Fig. 24) narrowly elongate, somewhat lunate; phallapodeme in lateral view (Fig. 24) very narrowly triangular, digitiform keel shorter than length, pointed; gonite in ventral view (Fig. 23) bar-like, very slightly wider basally, apex with short, lateral process, apex bearing setula, in lateral view (Fig. 24) wide basally, gently curved, tapered to apical point, with a subapical, short process that bears a setula.
Type material
The holotype male is labeled “OREGON BentonCo Finley WildlRefg 18 June 1976 Wayne N. Mathis/HOLOTYPE ♂ Allotrichoma dynatum W. Mathis & T. Zatwarnicki USNM [red]/USNM ENT 00117957 [plastic bar code label].” The holotype is double mounted (minuten in a block of plastic), is in excellent condition, and is deposited in the USNM. Fifty paratypes (27♂, 23♀; USNM) bear the same locality data as the holotype but with collection dates from 3 Jul 1972 to 18 Jun 1976.
