Scaptomyza
, and Species of Subgenera
Engiscaptomyza
,
Grimshawomyia
, and
Titanochaeta
1. White longitudinal stripe present on scutellum, anteriorly reaching at least to posterior region of mesono- tum, often extending along entire length of mesonotum; terminal fork of arista deep, each branch equal in length to dorsal rays of arista ............................................................................ subgenus
Tantalia
Malloch
- Scutellum and mesonotum may be striped 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 well-developed humeral setae .........................subgenus
Exalloscaptomyza
Hardy
- 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...............................................................................................10
4. Eight rows of acrostichal setulae present; female ovipositor sclerotized, may be needle-like and pointed.. ................................................................................................................. subgenus
Titanochaeta
Knab
, 24
- Acrostichal setulae present in two to six rows; female ovipositor fleshy, non-sclerotized, non-dentate....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
Malloch
- Head nearly square as seen in direct lateral view, lower margin approximately equal in length to the fron- tal margin; enlarged setulae may be present in presutural position, but not strong....................................... ......................................................................................................................subgenus
Elmomyza
Hackman
7. Two rows of acrostichal setulae present ................................................... subgenus
Parascaptomyza
Duda
