Being in the middle of revision, I must object.
In fact, it was found that there is no such species, or better say, what we used to call
annonae is something different.
First, the type of
Musca annonae Fabricius is what we used to call
Euxesta eluta Loew.
Review of USNM and BMNH stuffunder the name "
Euxesta annonae" shows there are 4 species of
Euxesta, one
Chaetopsis and one
Stenomyia under it, more often what is actually
Amethysa quadrifasciata Macquart, but the rest is a mess of species with similar wing pattern but entirely different genitalia.
So please wait until a detailed revision is done. Unfortunately, I do not have an acceess to wider materials from the USNM expet a few examples on loan.
It may take long...
