I have paid only casual attention to these flies, and I thought that the tergites of hottentotta should have a more "striped" appearance. I hadn't really realized that the transverse stripes on the tergites of hottentotta are dustspots, and as such are easily worn off (or be less visible in some angles). I think that you are right about hottentotta, but I will wait until I catch some.
