Review of the European Greenomyia Brunetti (Diptera, Mycetophilidae) with new descriptions of females

Abstract

The females of the four continental Greenomyia Brunetti species in Europe are associated with the males, diagnosed and keyed, providing the fi rst association and description of the females of G. baikalica Zaitzev,1994 and G. stackelbergi Zaitzev, 1982. Colour photographs of their habitus and line drawings of their female terminalia are provided. Greenomyia mongolica Las ̌tovka & Matile, 1974 is found to be a senior synonym of Greenomyia theresae Matile, 2002. syn. n. The diagnostic characters used to distinguish between Greenomyia and Neoclastobasis Ostroverkhova in keys did not hold up to a closer scrutiny and leave the status of Neoclastobasis as separate genus questionable. © Olavi Kurina et al.
