Key to the Hawaiian Subgenera of
Scaptomyza
(modified after
Hardy 1965
)
1. White longitudinal stripe present on scutellum and at least to posterior region of mesonotum, often extends along entire length of mesonotum; terminal fork of arista deep, each branch equal in length to dorsal rays of arista.................. subgenus
Tantalia
Scutellum and mesonotum may be banded or unicolorous, but never with longitudinal white stripe described above; terminal fork of arista not deep, branches less than length of dorsal rays ...................................................................................................... 2
2. Rays of arista short; chaetotaxy (e.g., katepisternal and dorsocentral setae) generally reduced; four rows of acrostichal setulae; two welldeveloped humeral setae ............... ............................................................................................ subgenus
Exalloscaptomyza
Rays of arista elongate; combination of other characters not as above ........................ 3
3. Either zero or one ventral ray present on arista….........................................................4
More than one ventral ray present on arista…...............................................................8
4. Eight rows of acrostichal setulae present; female ovipositor sclerotized, may be needlelike and pointed.............................................................. subgenus
Titanochaeta
, 17
Acrostichal setulae present in two to six rows; female ovipositor fleshy, nonsclerotized, nondentate .......................................................................................................... 5
5. Arista lacking ventral rays.........................................................................................…6
One ventral ray present on arista................................................................................…7
6. Head flattened, longer than high; eyes strongly oblique; strong set of presutural dorsocentral setae present ....................................................................subgenus
Rosenwaldia
Head nearly square as seen in direct lateral view, lower margin approximately equal in length to the frontal margin; enlarged setulae may be present in presutural position, but not strong.........................................................................................subgenus
Elmomyza
7. Two rows of acrostichal setulae present; head not wider than thorax............................. ...............................................................................................subgenus
Parascaptomyza
Number of acrostichal rows varies from four to six; head broader than thorax.............. ................................................................................................subgenus
Alloscaptomyza
8. Shining black species, thorax and abdomen polished black; two or three ventral rays present on arista; ocellar triangle large, extending to level of proclinate setae; acrostichal setulae present in four rows; clump of black setae on hind trochanter ................. ....................................................................................................... subgenus
Bunostoma
Mesonotum brown, typically but not always with longitudinal vittae; acrostichal setulae in six to eight rows; ocellar triangle not enlarged; hind trochanter lacking distinctive black setae ............................................................................................................. 9
9. Second antennal segment with a sharp point, extending over the base of the third segment; tibiae entirely yellow.............................................subgenus
Grimshawomyia
, 16
Second antennal segment not sharply pointed; apices and bases of mid and hind tibiae with prominent brown bands...........................................subgenus
Engiscaptomyza
