Popis: Sciopemyia birali Chaves Júnior, Shimabukuro, Pinto & Andrade sp. n. (Figs 15–16) Diagnosis. Female: preapical papilla on flagellomere III absent; individual spermathecal ducts practically of the same width throughout their length and eight times or less longer than the spermatheca; this latter with the intermediate rings perceptibly of the same width as the apical rings. Width of individual spermathecal ducts at the spermatheca’s junction equivalent to half or more of the spermatheca’s width, measured at its central part. Width of the basal part of the individual spermathecal ducts (junction with the common duct) ca. half of the spermaheca’s width, measured at its central part. Cibarium with the posterior teeth not lateralized and the distance between the internal ones slightly greater than that between these latter and the external ones. Fifth palpal segment clearly shorter than the sum of 3 rd + 4 th. Individual spermathecal ducts at most 3.5 times longer than the spermatheca. Individual spermathecal ducts ca. two times longer than the spermatheca and increases in caliber as they get closer to the spermatheca. Presence of “callosity” in the individual spermathecal ducts. Female holotype.

Ascoids: with short posterior spur and atrophied peduncle, anterior spur is long in FI but does not reach the level of the preapical papilla (Fig. 15G); external ascoids is located at a more basal level than the internal, in FI; presence of preapical papilla on FI–FII (Figs 15G and H); papillae absent on FIII – FIX (Figs 15I, 16A–F); one papilla on FX and FXI (Figs 16G–H), presence of five, six and four papillae on FXII, FXIII and FXIV, respectively (Figs 16I–K); preapical spiniform papilla observed on FIX (Fig. 16F), FXI (Fig. 16H), and FXIII (Fig. 16J). Presence of simple setae on FVIII – FXIV (Figs 16E–K). Labial suture complete (Fig. 15A). Palpi (P) (Figs 15J), palpal segment lenght: PI 46 (38–46, n = 8), PII 82 (72–87, n = 8), PIII 128 (110–128, n = 8), PIV 82 (75–81, n = 8) and PV 165 (157–171, n = 6). Palpal formula: 1-4-2-3-5 (n = 9); PIII with Newstead’s sensilla scattered along the segment. Cervix: Ventro-cervical sensilla absent. Cervical sclerites bearing a pair of spiniform sensilla. Thorax: Mesonotum 599 (511–642, n = 7) in length. Mesonotum, pronotum, anepisternum, metanotum and postnotum light brown, paratergite and pleura off-white.
