A revision of European species of the genera Melanagromyza Hendel and Hexomyza Enderlein, with a supplement on the genus Ophiomyia Braschnikov (Diptera: Agromyzidae).

Abstract

All Palaearctic species described in or subsequently transferred to the genus Melanagromyza Hendel have been examined. On the basis of this study the generic concept of Melanagromyza has been restricted and the genus Hexomyza Enderlein is revived witli amended concepts. Twenty-five species are now included in Melanagromyza, including four new species, and for these an entirely new key is given. Four gall-causing species are included in Hexomyza. In a Supplement to the author's recent (1964) Revision of Ophiomyia species three new species are described, four further species are transferred to Ophiomyia from Melanagromyza and three new synonomies are established. Illustrations are given of the male genitalia of all but two species, of which only the female is known.
