Ophiomyia maura
Ophiomyia maura is a species of leaf miner flies.
Adult: wing length 1.9 to 2.5 mm., costa extending to m1+2, last and penultimate sections of m4 normally equal but distinctly variable (I have seen one male with the last section longer, in ratio 21:16 with penultimate); irons one and a half times width of eye; jowls narrow, between one-sixth and one-eighth vertical height of eye, not greatly projecting, forming vibrissal angle of about 80°; vibrissal horn in male rather slender; facial keel broad but rather flat, with slight central furrow.
Male genitalia: aedeagus asymmetric, surstyli with about six blunt teeth and two or three fine hairs at end.
Larva: posterior spiracles each with four bulbs on one arm and seven on the other.
