Male terminalia. Sternite 5 longer than wide, with posterior membrane deep, with lobes robust, with long setae on external margin of posterior half (Fig. 5); cercal plate and surstylus elongated; surstylus longer than cercal plate and with short setae on apical portion (Fig. 6); aedeagal complex with hypandrium long and straight, epiphallus as long as postgonite; distiphallus short (Figs 7–8).

Notes. This was a new name given by Pont (1980) to H. maculipennis Emden, 1941, a junior secondary homonym of Helina maculipennis (Zetterstedt, 1845). It was originally described in Anthocoena Emden, 1941, a genus of the “ Anthomyiinae ” (see also Emden 1951), because of the “almost complete sixth vein”.
