Description of the puparium of Cyphomyia albitarsis (Diptera: Stratiomyidae: Clitellariinae) from Colombia

The puparium of Cyphomyia albitarsis(Fabricius, 1805) is described and illustrated for the first time, based on six puparia, of which five emerged into adults. In Cyphomyia Wiedemann, 1819, the immature stages (6th instar larva or puparia) of only eight species are known (Cyphomyia aurifrons Wiedemann, 1830, C. bicarinata Williston, 1900, C. erecta McFadden, 1969, C. leucocephala Wiedemann, 1819, C. marginataLoew, 1866, C. picta Schiner, 1868, C. pilossisima Gerstaecker, 1857, and C. souzalopesi Iide, 1967), which represents only 9% of the Cyphomyia species described. In addition, some features of the previously known immature stages of the genus are summarized and compared with the puparium of C. albitarsis
