Pedimyia Rohdendorf, 1925: 81 . Type species: Pedimyia fedtshenkoi Rohdendorf, 1925 , by original designation. Phrosina : Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863: 101 , incorrect original spelling of Phrosinella Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [potential junior homonym of Phrosina Risso, 1836 , Crustacea]. Bright colored small or midsized flies (3.0–11.0 mm in length). Frontal stripe usually blackish; parafacialia usually with short black hairs, rarely almost bare; fr reaching level of middle of pedicel, distinctly divergent; lunule setose; genae covered by fine inconspicuous pale setae; lower margin of head distinctly shortened; orb 1+2. r 5 open or closed at wing margin; male fore tarsi often with specialized setae, rarely without them. Twenty-four species in arid zones of Holarctic and north part of Oriental (Jammu & Kashmir) regions. Habits: The larvae of “ Phrosinella sp. ” have been registered in nests of two species of marine turtles: leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea and olive ridley turtle Lepidochelys olivacea in Mexico ( Andade et al., 1992 ). These data most probably are the result of erroneous determination. Really common predators of eggs of marine turtles on Mexican seashores are the larvae of the sarcophagid species Eumacronychia sternalis ( Lopes, 1982 ; Lòpez Barbosa, 1989 ).
