The Arganthomyza duplex group

The group was established by ROHÁĆEK & BARBER (2013) and diagnosed by two apomorphic features: (1) the nlum of the distiphallus basally widened and (2) the apex of the ventral receptacle vermicularly twisted. The latter character is reminiscent of the structure of the ventral receptacle of the majority of Anthomyza species (see below). This homoplasy probably evolved independently in the A. duplex group from the distinctly ancestral form with a simple apex of the ventral receptacle occurring in the A. socculata group which is the sister group of the A. duplex group as demonstrated by both the morphological ( ROHÁĆEK & BARBER 2013: Fig. 173 View Figs 168–175 ) and the molecular ( ROHÁĆEK & TÓTHOVÁ 2014: Fig. 1 View Fig ) data analyses. The group comprises three Nearctic species: A. acuticuspis , A. bivittata and A. duplex .
