Citrogramma pendleburyi (Curran)
Nomenclature
-
Tribe: SyrphiniGenus: Citrogramma
Species:
Citrogramma pendleburyi (Curran)
SUMMARY
Species very similar to Citrogramma marissa, with black facial vitta and 2nd costal cell bare. C. pendleburyi differs in having wing much more microtrichose basally (only cell CuP bare on anterior margin) and a slightly broader eye angle (about 110°). C. marissa is only known from southern India and it is smaller than C. pendleburyi. Another morphological difference are the shape of yellow maculae on 2nd tergum and the size of dark scutellar macula, much broader and more rounded in C. marissa.
