Trypetoptera Hendel, 1900: 352 . Type species: Musca punctulata Scopoli, 1763 (monotypy).

Diagnosis. Small with grey body. Arista mostly with long plumose hairs. Anepisternum always setulose, often with a vertical row of elongated setulae. Anepimeron with 3–5 weak setae. 2 subalar setae present. Wing dark brown with many large pale spots.

Remarks. This genus comprises only 2 described species: Trypetoptera canadensis (Macquart, 1844) , restrict- ed to the Nearctic Region, and T. punctulata ( Scopoli, 1763) , restricted to the Palearctic Region.

Before our study, Trypetoptera had never been recorded from China. We determined 31 males and 12 females of T. punctulata , all from Xingjiang (Palearctic Region of China). This is the first record of Trypetoptera from China.
