Comments.
Only four species of the genus
Pseudonapomyza
Hendel
are known in the New World, most of them in the Nearctic Region.
Pseudonapomyza asiatica
is the only species recorded in the Neotropical Region (
Boucher 2004
). It is also widely distributed in the Old World, and is a leaf-miner of several
Poaceae
species (
Spencer 1990
).
