“…The palps are usually shorter than the proboscis, the arista is bare in the superior part, and rarely with some hairs on the lower side (16). All the genera of tribe Stomoxysine have epimeron and prosternum partially covered with hairlike setulae (18). The chaetotaxy of the legs is of great importance at the specific and generic level throughout the tribe Stomoxysine (18).…”
