Subgenus Eudasyphora Townsend, 1911 View in CoL

Eudasyphora Townsend, 1911: 170 View in CoL (as genus). Type species: Lucilia lasiophthalma Macquart, 1834 [= Musca cyanella Meigen, 1826 ].

Diagnosis. Colouration metallic purplish-blue to greenish-blue with silver pruinosity; wing at most with a macula on humeral vein. Female with the parafrons weakly setulose on upper half. Dorsocentrals 3+4. Prosternum bare. Wing with basal portion of stem-vein bare dorsally. First abdominal sternite widely setulose or with setulae only on lateral margins.

Comments. Nihei and de Carvalho (2007a) did not support the monophyly of Eudasyphora , as Dasyphora s.s. is nested within Eudasyphora . Further studies are needed to verify this condition in order to preserve this subgenus or to merge it with Dasyphora s.s.

Distribution (10 species). Nearctic, Oriental and Palaearctic.
