Limnophora mesovittata Couri, Pont & Penny, 2006: 852 .

Holotype female in CAS.

Diagnosis. Postsutural dorsocentrals 3; postsutural transverse band extending medially as a brown vitta reaching scutellum; mid femur with one median anterior seta and 2 posterior preapicals; mid tibia with two posterior setae on middle third.

Notes. Known only from the holotype female. Ovipositor and spermatheca illustrated by Couri et al. (2006: Fig. 98). The species runs to couplet 38 and to L. perfidodes of Emden’s key. Couri et al. (2006) gave the following key to separate the two species:

1. Arista with short hairs, shorter than the width of postpedicel; calypter yellow; cell r5 at wing tip more than twice as wide as length of cross-vein r-m; pale dust on abdomen between and outside the black brown spots, the spots therefore indistinct.............................................................................................. L. mesovittata

- Arista with the longest hairs equal to the width of postpedicel; calypter creamy; cell r5 at wing tip about twice as wide as length of cross-vein r-m; pale dust on abdomen grey, the black spots very distinct and well defined........... L. perfidodes
