Moved from Bezzia. Keys to B. setulosa.

 
There is no more setulosa
According to the catalog(1) setulosa and barberi are synonyms of Bezzia nobilis.

Moved from Ceratopogoninae.

Bezzia?
Tried running it thru MoND (1) and came up with Bezzia.

Some characters observed: front femora with several spines ventrally; no spines visible on 5th tarsal segment; cells r1 and r2+3 confluent (as fig 41); claws apparently equal in size; m2 complete; m forking at r-m crossvein.
