| Description: | This illustration depicts a Orthopodomyia sp. mosquito from a lateral view, as well as two insets; an enlarged view of its foreleg (Lt), and a superior view of the insect’s thoracic region revealing the linear details of its mesonotal pattern. Some of the identifying morphologic characteristics displayed by members of the genus Orthopodomyia include a forelimb with a fourth tarsal segment that is as long as it is wide, and shorter than the fifth tarsal segment, as well as the presence of a silvery, delicate mesonotal linear pattern on its dorsal thoracic surface composed of iridescent scales. |
