Genus Alluaudomyia Kieffer, 1913

Type species. Alluaudomyia imparunguis Kieffer, 1913; by original designation.

Diagnosis. Eyes bare or pubescent, contiguous or narrowly separated. Flagellum without sensilla coeloconica; katepisternum bare; wing, mesonotum and legs usually ornamented. Third palpal segment with small sensory pit. Wing with one, rarely two radial cells, usually with 1–20 small dark spots; female claws long, usually very unequal, sometimes subequal on fore and mid legs, very unequal on hind leg, each without basal tooth; female with one or two seminal capsules (Wirth & Grogan 1988, de Meillon & Wirth 1991). This worldwide distributed genus includes 205 species (Borkent 2015).

Discussion. From the Middle East four species listed below are reported. We do not include here Afrotropical A. vudu de Meillon & Hardy, 1954 despite Ghonaim et al. (2001) listed it from Egypt. The latter authors cited incorrectly report by Macfie (1943) who determined from Egypt true A. melanosticta (Ingram & Macfie 1922) .
