Diagnosis.
Antennal flagellomeres with ascoids composed by one long distal branch and a short proximal branch; thorax with no post-alar bristle; male genitalia with gonocoxite having a longitudinal internal row of strong setae on distal half: female cibarium with several longitudinal rows of horizontal teeth and with sclerotized bulge posterior to teeth (
Galati 2003
).
Remarks.
26 species have been described, with only two previously recorded in
Mexico
(
Ibáñez-Bernal 1999
). Currently there are no useful morphological characters to separate females of different species and for that reason the females recorded here are presented separately as
Brumptomyia
spp.
