A review of scuttle fly genera of Israel (Diptera: Phoridae), with new records and an identification key Author Mostovski, Mike B. text Zootaxa 2016 4137 1 61 72 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4137.1.4 1c6ab101-fab1-442b-aa9a-93f1824f298d 1175-5326 264841 722D15D8-4320-4034-A587-034A589DAA8F Genus Spiniphora Malloch, 1909 This is a relatively small genus with about 20 species from the Palaearctic, Nearctic and Oriental regions. Only S. signata Schmitz, 1935 was previously recorded in Israel ( Disney & Nussbaum, 1990 ; Lengyel, 2011a ), being now known from both the coastal plain and Judean hills. Another species, S. bergenstammi (Mik, 1864) was erroneously indicated for the Israeli fauna by Disney & Nussbaum (1990) , being collected in Sidon, Lebanon . However, quite expectedly this Holarctic species is present in Israel as well.
