Type material
Holotypemale, AUSTRALIA: Queensland: Jimmy’s Scrub State Forest, nr. Goomeri, 22.xi.1985, M. De Baar (MEI165194) (QM). Paratype. AUSTRALIA: Queensland: male, Bribie Island, DPI Fisheries site, [-27.055°, 153.193°], 7.x.1997, S. L. Winterton, N. Power, D. White, heathland- Acacia regrowth, Malaise trap (MEI090764) (QM).
Diagnosis
Wing mostly hyaline; pleuron black; coxae, femora and tibia orange; abdomen black, segments 2–3 orange with dark medial patch.
Description
Body length= 6.0–7.0 mm. Head. Frons narrower than ocellar tubercle, profile rounded above antenna, surface texture smooth, glabrous; gena with pale setae; parafacial overlain with silver pubescence; palpus brown-black; occiput glabrous, glossy black; antennal base raised; antennal length approximately equal to head; scape orange-yellow, much shorter than flagellum, scape with sparse dark setae dorsally; flagellum orange-yellow, base of flagellum without setae. Thorax. Scutum glossy black, overlain with sparse yellow setae, grey pubescence laterally; scutellum overlain with sparse grey pubescence; pleuron black, overlain with sparse silver-grey pubescence; wing largely hyaline, faint band midway; haltere knob white; coxae, femora and tibia orange; tarsi white, fore-basitarsus dark, rest of basitarsi orange. Scutal chaetotaxy: np, 5; sa, 1–2; pa, 1; dc, 2; sc, 1. Abdomen. Segments 2–3 orange with black medial patch, remaining segments black; terminalia pale.
Comments
Pipinnipons kampmeierae sp. n. is very similar to Pipinnipons kroeberi, but can be differentiated based on coxae and abdomen colouration. The wings are only weakly infuscate rather than strongly banded infuscate as in most other species of Pipinnipons and Acupalpa. The female is unknown for this species.
Etymology
This species is named in honour of Gail Kampmeier, in recognition of her excellent work on Therevidae bioinformatics.
