Lucilia lucigerens (James) Figs. 46–47, 58–59, 73–75, 85, 92 Phaenicia lucigerens James, 1971: 384 Diagnosis. Male frons narrow with fronto-orbitals touching, 0.023 (0.02–0.03)/5 of head width; female frons 0.24 6 (0.24–0.25)/5 of head width. Pattern of setae on tibia, t1 1p; t2 1ad to av, 1v; t3 no strong setae. Basicosta brown; upper calypter pale with yellow rim, lower calypter light tan in both sexes. Fifth tergite coppery to aeneous in both sexes; this character distinctive in most specimens, though sometimes color can be faint, especially in a few females. A few L. fayeae may exhibit this character, but both upper and lower calypters are dark and this species is not known from Jamaica. Some L. eximia are coppery, but the color is not limited to T5. If the aeneous tergite and other characters are missed it will key to L. eximia. Presutural area of thorax microtomentose except for posterolateral corners shining. Abominal tergites microtomentose to rear edge of T3, T4 and T5 polished, tomentum sometimes stops short of the end of T3 or extends to front edge of T4. Male genitalia in lateral view with surstylus short, digitate, base narrow, distal two-thirds expanded, curved slightly forward; cercus broad base, tapering evenly to narrow point, longer than surstylus. In posterior view, surstylus curved inward, cercus long and straight (Figs. 46, 47). Phallus and other male characters and ovipositor are typical for the L. eximia group (Figs. 58–59, 73–75, 85, 92). Distribution. This species is known only from Jamaica (LSAM, USNM, WSUP).
