Key to species of Tanzanimyia View in CoL
1 Preocellar seta absent; dark area in cell r 2+3 with 6 smaller dot-like hyaline spots (half as wide as dark rays across cell r 1) in addition to about 8 (rarely 7 or 9) larger spots (diameter about equal to width of dark rays across cell r 1) ( Fig. 8); oviscape almost entirely yellow, with narrow brown base and apex; ocellar seta 1.18 times as long as posterior frontal seta; 1 st flagellomere 1.7–1.8 times as long as high at base, strongly narrowed towards tip, mostly yellowish, but with distinct brown band dorsally ( Fig. 2); tergal-oviscapal measure 2 ..................... .................................................................................................. flavicauda View in CoL n. sp.
– Preocellar seta small (compared with other setae), but present; dark area in cell r 2+3 with smaller number of hyaline spots, usually with 5–8 spots, spots usually large, although 2–3 sometimes small ( Figs 9–11); oviscape with base and apex widely brown to black, usually with only central third yellow or brownish yellow; ocellar seta shorter than, or about as long as, posterior frontal seta; 1 st flagellomere less than 1.7 (about 1.3–1.6) times as long as high at base, slightly or not narrowed toward tip, entirely yellowish or brown dorsally ( Figs 3–5); tergal-oviscapal measure variable .....................................................................2
2 Wing: cell m and subapical portion of cell r 4+5 with isolated oval hyaline spots, appearing reticulate; rays along veins R 4+5 and M short ( Fig. 9); anterior frontal seta short: less than 0.63 (0.41–0.61) times as long as middle frontal seta......... .................................................................................................... reticulata View in CoL n. sp.
– Wing: cell m and subapical portion of cell r 4+5 with elongate, cuneiform or Yshaped hyaline spots, not appearing reticulate; rays along veins R 4+5 and M long ( Figs 10, 11); anterior frontal seta longer: more than 0.63 (0.65–0.83) times as long as middle frontal seta.................................................................................3
3 Generally paler species: 1 st flagellomere entirely yellow ( Fig. 4); posterior frontal seta brownish, brown bands on legs less conspicuous; wing pattern pale brown ( Fig. 10), with brown bullae, and with apical part of cell r 4+5 with U-shaped hyaline spot isolated from subapical oval or round spots ......... tanzaniaensis View in CoL n. sp.
– Generally darker species: 1 st flagellomere usually darker dorsally ( Fig. 5); posterior frontal seta blackish; brown bands on legs, especially on midfemur, more conspicuous; wing pattern dark brown ( Fig. 11), with blackish brown bullae, and with apex of cell r 4+5 with long Y-shaped hyaline spot.......... ugandaensis View in CoL n. sp.
