Figs 11 — 14: 11 — 12: Eutermiphora females: 11, E. abdominalis, right wing stump; 12, E. watsoni, right palp. 13 — 14: Left palps: 13, Sciadocera rufomaculata female; 14, Lonchoptera lutea male. (Scale bars = mm). but more strongly on the outer face, with one or more apical or subapical setae further differentiated as stronger setae or bristles. Thus Lonchoptera possibly represents the groundplan state. Within the Phoridae every variety of palp setal pattern is encountered, but most frequently the setae are on the inner face with the apical bristles differentiated in varying degrees. The condition reported for Eutermiphora (Fig. 12), therefore, is atypical. However, this pattern is characteristic of all Termitoxeniinae (Disney & Kistner 1995). Furthermore, it occurs in some Metopininae. In most Megaseliini the inner face carries the setae and the apex has differentiated bristles, but in a few species the setae are reduced or lost. In many Metopinini also the pre-apical setae are on the inner face; for example Chonocephalus Wandolleck and Echidnophora Schmitz. In the case of the latter, this observation reinforces the finding that the resemblance between Termitoxeniinae and Echidnophora is due to convergence (Disney 1995b). However, the termitophilous metopinine genera Bolsiusia Schmitz.
