A new Sapromyza Fallén, 1810, from the Swiss alps (diptera, lauxaniidae)

Abstract

A new Western Palaearctic Sapromyza with a rather well-developed presutural dorsocentral seta is described and illustrated. Its phylogenetic position is briefly discussed. Keys to the Western Palaearctic genera of the Sapromyza-Lyciella group of genera and to the Western Palaearctic species of the Sapromyza obsoleta group are given.
