A conspectus of the flower fly genus Allograpta (Diptera: Syrphidae) with description of a new subgenus and species Author Mengual, Ximo Author Ruiz, Carlos Author Rojo, Santos Author Ståhls, Gunilla Author Thompson, Christian text Zootaxa 2009 2214 1 28 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.189912 be611bcb-0759-4dc2-b67a-68fc5efa93af 1175-5326 189912 Subgenus Fazia Shannon Fazia Shannon 1927 : 25 . Type-species, bullaephora Shannon (original designation) = decemmaculata (Rondani) . Chasmia Enderlein 1938a : 213 (preoccupied by Enderlein 1922 ). Type-species, hians Enderlein (original designation). Metepistrophe Hull 1949b : 293 (as subgenus of Epistrophe ). Type-species, Epistrophe altissima Fluke (original designation). Misidentified type-species. Originally named type was Epistrophe remigis Fluke , but Fluke (1951) noted that the specimen used by Hull was mislabelled by him and was actually altissima Fluke. Hence , under Article 70.3 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999), we hereby fixed the type species of Metepistrophe Hull to the taxonomical species, altissima Fluke. Metallograpta Hull 1949b : 293 (as subgenus of Epistrophe ). Type-species, Allograpta colombia Curran (original designation). Diagnosis. Face moderately to greatly produced anteriorly, with distinct tubercle; oral opening about 5 times as long as wide, with oral apex greatly extended beyond level of antennal base; antennal pits separate; plumula well developed; subscutellar pile fringe distinct, one or two rows of long pili; wing broadly bare basomedially, without apical dark macula ; alula broad, about 1.5 times as broad as cell BM; metasternum pilose; abdomen broadly to narrowly elongate. Included species.
