Subgenus Leptosomatomyia Theobald 
Diagnosis. — The following is based on the 
single species of the subgenus which is known 
in its immature stages. All dorsal abdominal 
setae on segments II— VIII small, inconspicuous, 
and usually simple, except A-VII and A-VIII. 
The latter two are large, several-branched plu- 
mose tufts. Paddles reminiscent of those of 
Tripteroides in general shape, though larger 
of course, produced apically into a truncate 
point.
