REVISIONARY CLASSIFICATION OF RUTILIINI 85 
The type-species, R. (G.) dorsomaculata, of this subgenus has white pollinose 
markings on thorax and abdomen (to which Macquart’s name refers), but in general 
the spots are less bold and obvious than those found in the subgenus Ameniamima 
(q.v.), though they are mainly developed at the same sites—in humeral, supra-alar, 
mesopleural and sternopleural positions. The white spots give dorsomaculata and 
albovirida (the latter is possibly not specifically distinct from the former) some 
superficial resemblance to Ameniamima species, but Grapholostylum differs much 
from Ameniamima on the genital features already noted and by having three 
postalar setae (four in Ameniamima) and a haired suprasquamal ridge (bare in 
Ameniamima). 
The size and colouring in dorsomaculata are rather variable, females ranging 
from bright green to dark blackish green with coppery tinges, and males having a 
light tawny brown abdomen with broad black median vitta. All specimens, how- 
ever, have the white pollinose markings on the thorax and less obvious white 
pollinose areas (somewhat shifting in appearance) on the abdomen; the thoracic 
pattern appears always to include a pair of small submedian white spots medially 
on the scutum just in front of the scutellum (spots in this position do not occur in 
Ameniamima but are found in some of the Ameniine Calliphorids of the genus 
| Amenia Robineau-Desvoidy, which slightly resemble the brighter green specimens of 
| Grapholostylum species). As a result of the variability, and because earlier authors 
misunderstood Macquart’s species, dorsomaculata has several synonyms (which are 
_ here newly established after examination of types). Malloch’s species Rutilia 
albovirida, described from the female, is probably the same as dorsomaculata but at 
present there is insufficient evidence to establish definite synonymy. 
Rutilia micans Malloch belongs in this subgenus and is rather intermediate between 
dorsomaculata and subtustomentosa in hair colour and degree of development of the 
_ white pollinose spots (the pattern of these is identical to dorsomaculata but they are 
' less conspicuous in micans).
