Dasmeusa flavescens Metcalf, 1955, female lectotype. A Body, dorsal view; B body, lateral view (arrow indicates location of angle at inferior portion of frons); C labels; D face, anterior view; E apical portion of abdomen, ventrolateral view; F apical portion of abdomen, ventral view. The name flavescens was proposed by Metcalf (1955) as a replacement for lurida Signoret, 1853, which was preoccupied by lurida Germar, 1821. This species is herein considered a junior synonym of D. pauperata (Fabricius, 1803). Photos: Werner Holzinger, ©Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (NHMW).
