Diagnosis
Frons profile concave above antenna; antenna black; wing dark banded; legs black with basitarsus and second tarsomere white; abdomen black, overlain with silver velutum in male.
Redescription
Body length= 6.9–9.3 mm. Head. Frons wider than ocellar tubercle, profile transversely concave above antennae, pubescence as two silver patches along eye margin, vestiture as minute setae; frons surface texture as irregular longitudinal striations; face projecting anteriorly, vestiture with dark to pale setae; gena with pale setae; parafacial glabrous; mouthparts relatively short (approximately equal to head length); palpus brown-black, acuminate; occiput glabrous, glossy black; antennal base raised; antennal length approximately equal to head; scape brown to black, length much shorter than flagellum, with sparse black setae ventrally; flagellum black, base of flagellum with short, dark setae. Thorax. Scutum uniform grey-black; scutellum overlain with dense, matt-black pubescence; pleuron black, overlain with sparse silver-grey pubescence; wing markings dark banded infuscate; haltere knob white, stem dark brown; coxae and femora brown to black; tibia dark; tarsi dark, basal ¾ of fore-basitarsus and entire second tarsomere cream to white. Scutal chaetotaxy (macrosetae pairs): np (notopleural), 4; sa (supra-alar), 1; pa (post-alar), 1; dc (dorsocentral), 2–3; sc (scutellar), 1. Abdomen. Black, covered with silver velutum dorsally on tergites (male only); terminalia pale.
Comments
Ectinorhynchus albimanis is herein transferred to Acupalpa with Acupalpa pollinosa becoming a junior synonym of Acupalpa albimanis comb. n. Mann (1928)[3] redescribed Ectinorhynchus albimanis based on a series of specimens, but clearly did not examine the type, as his redescription does not match that in Kröber (1914)[1] nor reflect characteristics of the type. Acupalpa albimanis is morphological similar to Acupalpa albitarsa and Acupalpa yanchep sp. n. The colouration of abdomen and tarsi is diagnostic for this species.
