Subfamily Mycetobyiinae Winnertz, 1863

Genus Mycetobia Meigen

Mycetobia Meigen, 1818: 229 . Type species, pallipes Meigen ( Westwood, 1840: 127).

Comments. Following his discussion of problems in the phylogeny of the Mycetobiinae in Amorim & Tozoni (1994), Thompson (2006) formally moved the Dominican amber species Neomesochria neotropical (Grimaldi) back to Mesochria . Thompson (2006, page 13) recognized that “[t]he problem of a proper synapomorphy for Mycetobia remains” and “that the status of the Neotropical and New Caledonian species of Mycetobia remains to be clarified.” An investigation of the relationships between the mycetobiines of the world with additional characters is still necessary for a proper understanding of the evolution of the subfamily. Until this is done, it seems advisable to synonymize Neomesochria to Mycetobia , and to reinstate the Neotropical and New Caledonian species described in Mycetobia to their original generic combination— Mycetobia neocaledonica Baylac & Matile, 1988 , reinst.; Mycetobia scutelaris Baylac & Matile, 1988 , reinst.; Mycetobia antillea Grimaldi, 1991 , reinst.; Mycetobia cryptambra Grimaldi, 1991 , reinst.; Mycetobia limanda Stone, 1966 , reinst.; Mycetobia stonei Lane & d’Andretta, 1958 , reinst. .
