Genus Pseudopomyza Strobl View in CoL View at ENA

Pseudopomyza Strobl 1883: 284 View in CoL . Type species (monotypy): P. nitidissima Strobl View in CoL (= Opomyza atrimana Meigen ).

I have seen three Australian species of this genus belonging in the subgenera Apops McAlpine and Dete McAlpine as distinguished by McAlpine (1994). Of these, one species is known only from a single female specimen from Western Australia which is here considered as inadequate material for taxonomic description. It is provisionally identified as Pseudopomyza (Apops) sp. C, deposited at ANIC.

The three known Australian species have the following characters in common: two pairs of fronto-orbital bristles present; four pairs of dorsocentral bristles present; anterior intra-alar bristle absent.
