Introduction
Pyrgotidae are medium to large-sized (4–18 mm) acalyptrate flies usually with pictured wings, rather
slender body, oblique face, short lobate cell bcu and stiletto-like aculeus that is much shorter than theoviscape. The list of the World fauna includes about 365 valid species names in ca. 55 genera, with thegreatest number of species in tropics (Korneyev, unpublished data). Up to now, 29 nominal species of 8 genera were recorded from the Palaearctic Region (Hendel, 1933, 1934; Malloch, 1934; Hering, 1940;
Enderlein, 1942; Chen, 1947; Kim, Han, 2000, 2001), but synonymy of some names is highly probable. Two
papers (Malloch, 1934; Chen, 1947) had remained out of the scope of the most recent catalogue ofPalaearctic Pyrgotidae (Soo´s, 1984).
The papers by H.-Y. Kim and S.-K. Han (2000, 2001) are the most comprehensive reviews of Eastern
Palaearctic Pyrgotidae, insomuch they were based upon the most extensive material, and took into consideration numerous additional morphological (including genitalic) characters. In these papers, which aimed toconsider only the local fauna, none of the species described by Hering and Enderlein from China and Japanand apparently occurring in Korea, were mentioned. In Enderlein’s and Hering’s descriptions, some important characters are lacking, and the concepts of described taxa could hardly be interpreted without study ofthe type specimens.
While preparing the Pyrgotidae chapter for the Keys to Insects of Far East Russia and a catalogue of
Pyrgotidae of the World, the material originated from Palaearctic Asia and other regions, now deposited inseveral European and American collections, was examined. This study has shown that some genus and speciesnames are actually synonyms. Other species were found to need correct generic placement. As the result,
5 genera with 22 species are shown to occur in Palaearctic Region.

Classification of Pyrgotidae
M. Acze´l (1956) proposed the most detailed classification of the family. He subdivided it into three subfamilies, Pyrgotinae, with 2 tribes, Teretrurini (with 2 SouthAmerican genera) and Pyrgotini (with vast majority of genera of the family), Toxurinae(with 9–10 Australasian genera) and Lochmostyliinae with 6 genera (in Neotropical,
Oriental and Afrotropical Regions). Later, D. K. McAlpine (1990) modified it by rising the rank of Lochmostyliinae to family (as Ctenostylidae), and Teretrurini to subfamily (as Teretrurinae). Toxurinae was shown to have fused abdominal sternites 1 and
2, the synapomorphy with Pyrgotini, and transferred in the subfamily Pyrgotinae as thetribe Toxurini. G. C. Steyskal (1972) suggested that details of the structure of the
postabdomen (especially in the female) could be expected to show the way to a firmclassification of the family. These morphological details remained almost wholly lacking until H.-Y. Kim and S.-K. Han (2000, 2001) figured and described terminalia of
Korean pyrgotids. The further study of terminalia of Pyrgotidae (Korneyev, unpublisheddata) has the following taxonomic and phylogenetic implications.
All Pyrgotidae examined, except Descoleia Acze´l and Toxopyrgota Hendel, have noprensisetae on medial surstylus. This character appears to be a synapomorphy of thesubfamilies Teretrurinae and Pyrgotinae, the lineage that includes the vast majority ofgenera of the family. In Descoleia the structure of male postabdomen is similar to thatin Tephritidae Tachiniscinae, which is the sister group to the other Tephritidae. Sucha structure of terminalia may be considered a primitive state for both Tephritidae andPyrgotidae, which have been shown to be sister groups (Korneyev, 1999). The absenceof prensisetae opposes the rest of Pyrgotidae to Descoleia. The taxonomic position of
the latter genus needs further consideration.

In the case of Toxopyrgota, a single tooth-like structure on the apex of each medial surstylus must be treated with caution as homologous to that in Descoleia and Tephritidae. I leave the position of this afrotropical genus pending until a wider revisionof the family is done.
In all examined Pyrgotini, the epandrium and lateral surstylus are completely
devoid of setulae (at most, structures reminiscent of trichoid sensilla are developed).
Toxopyrgota, a few Australian genera of Toxurini that were studied (Cardiacera
Macquart and Neotoxura Hendel), and Teretrurinae have setulose epandrium, as in other Tephritoidea. The absence of epandrial setulae is evidently universal for the palaearctic, oriental, afrotropical and New World Pyrgotini, but remains unstudied in australasian species assigned to this tribe.
Oriental and eastern palaearctic pyrgotids show high diversity of chaetotaxy, wing
pattern and venation, and structure of terminalia, whereas both the faunas of theAfrotropical Region and New World are apparently formed by descendants of a few lineages. Even a preliminary phylogenetic analysis (Kim, Han, 2001) has shown that somelarge genera like Adapsilia Waga, recognized mostly from the absence of advanced statesof external characters, may actually be non-monophyletic. Further phylogenetic analysis involving characters of terminalia is needed to arrange Pyrgotini into more reliablegeneric classification. This task needs more paleotropical material to be involved, which
is out of scope of the present paper.
In this paper, I generally follow Kim and Han (2001) concepts of palaearctic genera, with a few exceptions discussed below. Morphological terminology for the parts offemale terminalia is accepted from White et al. (1999), rather than Steyskal (1972). The
tergosternite 7 forms a large o v i s c a p e, which is flat in Teretrurinae and most Higher
Tephritoidea; its a n t e r o - v e n t r a l a p o d e m e often is an unusually large flap reaching the dorsal side and able to close up the whole anterior opening of the oviscape. In
the distal, or p o s t e r i o r m a r g i n of the oviscape bordering the e v e r s i b l e m e m b r a n e, some sclerotized lobes can be recognized (fig. 10, 4). Two m e d i o - a p i c a ll o b e s, the ventral (v e n t r o - m e d i a l l o b e) and often the dorsal (d o r s o - m e d i a ll o b e) are extended onto the eversible membrane medially on each ventral and dorsal
side; in rest, they are inverted inside the oviscape; in Campylocera Macquart they are
rigid and long, and easily visible on the membrane, which is usually semi-everted in dry
specimens of that genus (fig. 13, 4). In Tephritopyrgota Hendel, the ventro-medial lobe
forms an unpaired hook- or nail-like sclerotized projection (fig. 14, 4). Two l a t e r a ll o b e s, symmetrical and usually displaced to the ventral side (fig. 5, 1) , as a rule consist of a darker and softer f i e l d o f m e c h a n o r e c e p t i v e s e n s i l l a, visible evenwhen the membrane is completely inverted and an elongate, t a e n i a - l i k e s t r i p e,
which extends on the membrane latero-ventrally and bears no sensilla. The e v e r s i b l em e m b r a n e in some cases has paired fields of short acanthi forming a rasper-likestructure posterior and between the ventro-medial and lateral lobes (fig. 5, 1, 3); fromtheir topology, these structures may be homologous to taeniae of other Tephritoidea. In
Eupyrgota Coquillett they are modified into paired hook-like structures (o v i p o s i t u n g u i sensu Steyskal, 1972), superficially similar to the unpaired hook-like structure ofTephritopyrgota, but obviously unhomologous to it. The a c u l e u s is unusually shortcompared with the oviscape, and very acute, with the cercal unit completely integrated into its apex without a trace of fusion, and the 8 t h s t e r n i t e (or the ventral lobes)
indistinguishable even on SEM pictures.
Subfamily Pyrgotinae
D i a g n o s i s. Medium to large-sized (5.5–18.0 mm) flies with hyaline or greyish
wings and yellow to brown spots at wing apex, on pterostigma and crossveins. Headvariously shaped, with or, usually without ocelli; pedicel of antenna with or, usually,V. A. Korneyev

without dorso-apical notch. Costal vein with 2 constrictions (distally of humeral vein
and at apex of subcostal vein); R4+5 setulose or, usually, bare; cell bcu with short but
distinctive postero-apical lobe (except in afrotropical genus Toxopyrota Hendel).
Sternites 1 and 2 fused. Epandrium elliptic, without prensisetae or (in Toxopyrota) with
one prensiseta.
R e m a r k s. The subfamily includes almost all the genera of the family, except
three South American genera: Teretrura Bigot and Pyrgotosoma Malloch, which represent a separate subfamily Teretrurinae, and Descoleia Acze´l, which differs from all the
Pyrgotidae in the presence of two well-developed prensisetae (Norrbom, unpublisheddata) and either belongs to a separate subfamily or to Tephritidae.

Adapsilea: Enderlein, 1942: 106, error or emendation.
Adapsila: Soo´s, 1984: 36–37, unjustified emendation.

R e m a r k s. The genus includes about 36 species, Old World in distribution.
Fourteen of them occur in the Palaearctic Region, but only 4 were catalogued by Soo´s(1984). Sixteen species were listed in the Catalogue of Oriental Region (Steyskal,1977); many of them are believed to belong in Eupyrgota Coquillett, which was considered a subgenus of Adapsilia for a long time. Three species are listed in eachAfrotropical and Australasian Catalogues (Steyskal, 1980; Pitkin, 1989), but their taxonomic position is not clear. Chen (1947) keyed Chinese species and has separated
Adapsilia from Eupyrgota Coquillett. The concept of the genus was recently reconsidered by Kim and Han (2001), who also provided detailed descriptions and a key to
Korean species. Some of species described by Portschinsky (1892), Malloch (1934),
Hering (1940) and Enderlein (1942) from Far East Russia and China were, however,not considered.
The preliminary phylogenetic analysis provided by Kim and Han (2001) shows that
Adapsilia is not a monophyletic genus, defined by plesiomorphic characters.
Comprehensive keys to Palaearctic species will be provided in our forthcoming
papers (Korneyev, in press; Korneyev, Nartshuk, in press).

and small, button-like parameres (fig. 3, 5). Phallus glans as in fig. 2, 6. Oviscape aslong as mesonotum and longer than preabdomen, without apico-ventral hooks; aculeus
moderately long, stiletto-like (fig. 3, 7).
R e m a r k s. The holotype A. alini completely fits the diagnosis of the species basedon both European and Asian specimens, which show no differences exceeding certain
variability of gena height and coloration, presence or absence of certain setae (oc, vte,ppn) and spur vein on R2+3. The shape of aculeus (fig. 3, 7) and the ratio of pedicel
and flagellomere 1 lengths are the most consistent characters of this species.
A. coarctata fits very close A. verrucifer Hendel, A. longifacies Kim et Han andA. ochrosoma Kim et Han in having pedicel and palpus long, antennal grooves almost
reaching ventral margin of face and separate by carina ventrally bifurcated, mid femur
without long ventral setae (except the long proximal ventral seta) and sternites 2–3 ofmale with long erected lateral setae. A. brevispina Malloch and A. scutellaris Chen may
also belong in this group, but males are unknown.

rotized, apical portion of oviscape with ventral lobe moderately wide and short, ending
with flat triangular plate (fig. 5, 3), dorsal medial lobe absent, two wrinkled, taenium-likecarinae in basal half of dorsal side of eversible membrane (modified taenia?) running into
each other medially (fig. 5, 2), paired lateral lobes slightly shorter than ventral lobe, tworasper-like kidney-shaped or irregular-oval sclerites (modified ventral taeniae) between
medial and lateral sclerites well separated from each other and oviscape (fig. 5, 1). Aculeus
as in fig. 5, 4. Three separate spermathecae, one smaller than other two (fig. 5, 5).
R e m a r k s. This species differs from the concept of the genus Adapsilia, as definedby Kim and Han (2001), first of all, in the presence of 3 pairs of dorsocentral setae andelongate surstyli, similarly to Parageloemyia Hendel. However, it has neither barescutellum, nor setulose R4+5 vein, nor oviscape directed posteriorly, the characters,
which differentiate Parageloemyia spp. from other Palaearctic pyrgotids. A. dorsocentralis has conspicuous facial carina and a complete set of setae, which are believed to
be plesiomorphies, but the presence of additional dc and elongate surstyli is apparently a synapomorphy with Parageloemyia Hendel; this species may be a sister-group to
the latter genus; further phylogenetic analysis on a wider base is needed to determine
its taxonomic position; herein, this species is placed to Adapsilia, following Kim andHan (2001) and taking this genus as non-monophyletic.

D i a g n o s i s. Eye large, gena 0.3 times as high as eye in male and 0.15–0.2 infemale, with subocular spot (in male) or without it (in 2 examined females), as high as
or lower than flagellomere 1 high. Antenna longer than half face height, flagellomere 1
bluntly rounded apically, about as long as pedicel. Face brown, with very shallow medial keel and long antennal grooves reaching lower margin, with almost linear epistomal
margin, which is slightly produced in profile. Palpus large, almost as long and wide asantenna; labellum large (fig. 6, 1). All head setae moderately long and well-developed,
except vte 0.3 as long as vti. Thorax with brownish-black pattern on mesonotum andpleura (inconspicuous in one teneral female), with 1 dc, 2 pairs of sctl, and without
prst sa, prsc ac and kepst) (fig. 6, 2). Prosternum small, without setae. Scutellum with
12–15 moderately short setulae on each postero-lateral side. Wing, short and wide, with
faint brown pattern in females (fig. 6, 1) and dark brown spots in male. Costal veinconspicuously thinned after R4+5 apex, but reaching apex of M. R2+3 with (in 1 } syntype) or without spur vein (in { and } syntypes), R4+5 bare. Vein DM-Cu 2.9–3 (}})
or 2 times ({) as long as cell r4+5 in front of it. Coxae without stiff setae, but mid andhind coxae covered by moderately fine and long black setulae. Trochanters finely setulose. Femora brown to dark brown, densely and rather short setulose, without outstanding row of ventral setae, except proximal ventral setae longer than distal ones; hindfemur with 2–3 dorsal subapical setae; mid femur without bare area. Abdomen blackish-brown (in male) or yellow-brown (in females). Male sternites 4 and 5 with 2 lateral groups of setulae separated by bare areas. Epandrium oval, with short surstyli;
proctiger simple, apically undivided (fig. 7, 1–2); posterior half of hypandrium with
unsclerotised phallic guide (fig. 7, 1). Glans of phallus narrow and simple (fig. 7, 3).
Oviscape shorter than abdomen, wide, directed postero-ventrally, short setulose (fig. 6,4), on apical ventral portion with dense and fine setulae and 2 hook-like processes(fig. 6, 5, 7–8); its basal apodeme large, with dorsal flap inserted underneath oviscapedorsal surface (fig. 6, 6–7); aculeus as in fig. 6, 9; 2 spermathecae (fig. 6, 10).
R e m a r k s. This species resembles A. myopoides Chen and A. hispida Kim et Han
in the absence of katepisternal seta and oviscape shorter than mesonotum, almost cylindrical (not narrowed apically), differing from both in the absence of prosternal setulaeand presutural supraalar setae, as well as the face dark brown and produced in profile,with the carina very low, and the oviscape dorsally with large dark brown spot.
From the species of Eupyrgota Coquillett, which also have paired hooks on ventro-basal part of eversible membrane, A. hirtoscutellata differs by the absence of the finger-like, ventral, apically setulose projections of the prosternum.
Two spellings of the name, hirtoscutellaris (in the key to species) and hirtoscutellata (with the description) were originally published by Hendel (1933) for this species;

both names were primarily available, and each was cited only once in subsequent
papers, but they have never been mentioned together since the publication. Herewith,
I follow the Principle of the First Reviser (ICZN, 1999: Article 24.2) to fix the namehirtoscutellata, which was mentioned in the original description and then repeated on
all the determination labels of syntypes and in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera(Soo´s, 1984), as the correct original spelling. The name hirtoscutellaris, which was
repeated only in a less known paper and is therefore less preferable, is considered anincorrect original spelling and unavailable name.
Adapsilia longicaudata Kim et Han, 2001
Kim, Han, 2001: 273.

D i a g n o s i s (after Kim and Han). Facial carina high. Gena without subocular spot.
Antenna, palpus and proboscis moderately large. All head setae present, incl. 2 or, 1 oc,
1 poc, vti and vte, the latter half as long as vti. Thorax with brown pattern on mesonotum and pleuron, rather complete set of setae (incl. prst sa, 2 dc, 1 ac), except kepst
reduced; 3 pairs of sctl. Scutellum sparsely setulose. R2+3 without spur vein, R4+5 bare.
Mid femur without bare area. Oviscape twice as long as mesonotum and preabdomen.
R e m a r k s. This species has an isolated position in Adapsilia (Kim, Han, 2001);
and may actually belong in Tephritopyrgota Hendel, because of the reticulate wing pattern, which was considered by Hendel (1933) the diagnostic character that genus.
However, the pattern itself hardly is of generic value, because there are similarly reticulate wing patterns in several distant genera of Pyrgotidae, e. g., Cardiacera Macquart,
Sphecomyiella Hendel; Pyrgotella Curran, Boreothrinax Steyskal, etc. The unpaired ventro-medial hook- or nail-like sclerotized projection, which is another character of Tephritopyrgota, has not been reported to be present in A. longicaudata. Its generic position is unclear pending the further material is examined. See also remarks to Tephritopyrgota below.
Adapsilia longifasciata Kim et Han, 2001
Kim, Han, 2001: 275.

D i a g n o s i s (after Kim and Han). Facial carina high. Gena without subocularspot. Antenna, palpus and proboscis moderately large; pedicel 1.5–1.9 times as long as
flagellomere 1. Head setae moderately long and well-developed, including 1 or vti, andg; vte very short, oc present in female only, reduced in male, poc absent in both sexes.
Thorax brownish yellow, often with brown pattern on mesonotum and pleuron, andwith brown postnotum. Thoracic setae well-developed, except prst sa, prsc ac absent
and, in males, ppn weak; 1–2 dc. Scutellum with 2 pairs of sctl and sparse, short setulae. R2+3 with spur vein, R4+5 bare. Mid femur of female with bare area. Male epandrium short, with truncate surstylus, like in A. coarctata. Oviscape as long as mesonotum and preabdomen.
R e m a r k s. This species appears to be very closely related to A. coarctata, especially in head shape and chaetotaxy, long pedicel, spurious vein R2+3 and very short, truncate surstylus. It differs mostly by the presence of the bare area on mid femur, slightly
shorter pedicel and lighter body coloration. Aculei, as figured by Kim and Han (2001),
also have different shape.
Dr. H.-Y. Han (pers. comm.) kindly confirmed that there is an error in the key tospecies: the mid femur of female was stated to have no bare area (Kim, Han, 2001: 261),
but actually it is present, as indicated in the description (idem, 2001: 275, Fig. 10).
Males of this species, which have no bare spot on the mid femur, may be indistinguishable from males of A. coarctata.

without dense lateral setulae, surstylus with finger-like postero-dorsal lobe. Oviscapeslightly longer than mesonotum and preabdomen.
R e m a r k s. The holotype of Teliophleps mandschurica fits the description of A. breviantenna very closely, and I consider the two names synonyms.
This species agrees with the most recent concept of the genus Adapsilia, as definedby Kim and Han (2001), and I consider its original genus name Teliophleps a junior subjective synonym of the first name. Teliophleps Hering, 1940 is an available name, and if
Adapsilia is split into several genera, it could be used as a valid one. However, Teliophleps
Enderlein, 1942, which has another type species, from the Oriental Region, is an unavailable name (junior homonym) (see discussion below, under Campylocera Macquart.

Costa conspicuously thinned after R4+5 apex, but reaching apex of M. R2+3 without spurvein, R4+5 bare. Vein DM-Cu 2.9 times long as cell r4+5 in front of it. Femora withrather long, unthickened ventral setae. Mid coxa without thickened setae. Mid femur
without bare area. Abdomen blackish-brown. Oviscape approximately as long as preabdomen, narrowly conical, short setulose.
R e m a r k s. The type specimen is compressed and shrivelled, which makes certain
measurements of head, thorax and abdomen impossible. This species resembles
Adapsilia hispida in brown body coloration, head shape and wing venation (cell r4+5 narrow and cell dm very broad), differing in the wing patterned, katepisternal seta present
and scutellum more uniformly and short setulose. Oviscape shape in the holotype of

Scutellum yellow, with 2 pairs of setae and 5–6 setulae on each side. Metanotum darkbrown. Legs brownish yellow. Fore coxa with 3 strong antero-lateral setae and a row of
10–12 shorter setae at antero-ventral margin; fore trochanter unmodified; fore femur
very slightly swollen, with subbasal ventral seta and ventro-apical row of rather shortsetae, as shown in fig. 13 E (Kim, Han, 2001) for male. Fore tibia latero-dorsal andtwo latero-ventral apical setulae rather distinctive among shorter and thinner other setulae; subapical medio-ventral area with denser and shorter brownish setulae forming
brush. 5th tarsal joint 1.4 times as long as and conspicuously wider than 4th. Mid coxa
with one very dense row of black thick setae on antero-ventral margin, which form postero-ventrally directed comb. Mid femur with 6–8 setae ventro-basally, without barearea. Mid tibia with 3 closely inserted subequal, thickened apico-ventral setae. Mid tarsus unmodified, except 5th joint large. Hind coxa unmodified, with 2 setae on lateralsurface and 6–7 short setulae medio-ventrally.
Wing (fig. 10, 2–3) with very pale grey reticulate pattern, slightly darker and brownish at anterior margin. Costal vein reaching apex of medial vein; with 2 constrictions:distal to humeral vein and at apex of subcostal vein. Sc indistinct at very apex. R1 with
35–38 setulae on dorsal surface. R4+5 bare. Wing length 6.9 mm. Length of cell c 1.7 mm.
Ratio of medial vein sections m1 : m2 : m3 : m4 = 1.0 : 1.35 : 0.7 : 1.65.
Abdomen wide, not petiolate, brown, tergites with yellowish median area and posterior margins, black setulose. Syntergite 1+2 1.8 times as long as tergites 3–6 combined. Oviscape brownish yellow, broad, conical, 1.2 times as long as preabdominal tergites combined, very slightly bowed ventrally, without humps or projections; aperture
ventral (fig. 10, 1–2); eversible membrane inverted and poorly visible in specimen on
hands: ventro-medial lobe moderately long, lateral lobes and paired rasper-like plates
similar to those in A. dorsocentralis (fig. 10, 3). Aculeus as in fig. 11, 4. Three spermathecae (fig. 11, 5)
R e m a r k s. Hendel (1933) assigned this species to the Australasian genus Epicerella Macquart (now considered a junior synonym of Cardiacera Macquart) based on
the reticulate wing pattern and slightly pointed apex of the flagellomere 1 only, but hehad never seen any material on this species. The holotype of P. microcera actually has
neither ocelli, pedicellar notch, subcostal vein broken at right angle, nor setulose epandrium, which are characteristic of Cardiacera species. This species agrees very closelywith the description of Adapsilia tenebrosa, having the gena high, proboscis small andantenna small with dorsal margin of flagellomere 1 almost straight and the apex almost
bluntly angulate, as well as by the body coloration, structure of epandrium and surstyli
and absence of postocellar seta. Original drawing of the holotype of A. tenebrosa (Kim,Han, 2001) gives a wrong impression that its wing pattern is paler or more reduced, but
the photograph, kindly sent by Dr. H.-Y. Han (fig. 10, 3) clearly shows no significant
differences, and I consider these specimens conspecific, and synonymize the two
names. This species is not closely related to Tephritopyrgota, because the head shape of
A. tenebrosa is not common in Tephritopyrgota, and the unpaired ventro-medial hookor nail-like sclerotized projection, which is another character of Tephritopyrgota, areabsent in A. microcera.
This species does not belong to Cardiacera (= Epicerella), and the latter genus
must be excluded from the list of genera occurring in Palaearctic Region.

R e m a r k s. The holotype female of A. verrucifer (fig. 12, 1) fits well the detailed
description and figures of the holotype female of A. cornugaster, except the base of
scutellum is destroyed by the pin, and the body is compressed laterally, giving somewhat slender appearance to the specimen. I consider the specimens conspecific and synonymize these names. This species is redescribed in details by Kim and Han (2001) (asA. cornugaster), and only the following remark must be added. The dorso-caudal projection of oviscape (shown by the arrow in fig. 12, 1), found in two females from
Sichuan and figured for A. cornugaster (Kim, Han, 2001), is absent in the female from“Drakenkopf”, but the structure of aculeus and other characters of that specimen fit
well A. verrucifer.
This species is recorded from the Oriental Region for the first time.

D i a g n o s i s. R2+3 without or (in subgenus Stypina) with spur vein, costal vein posteriorly to R4+5 vein disappearing (fig. 13, 2), femora without spine-like setulae, oviscape apex without hook-like ventro-apical sclerites, both dorso- and ventro-medialsclerites long and narrow, rigid and well visible on semi-everted membrane, usually as
long or longer than diameter of oviscape apex (fig. 13, 4). Scutellum setulose, often
densely, with 2 or 3 pairs of setae.
R e m a r k s. The genus includes 42 nominal species in Oriental, Australasian and
Afrotropical Regions. Most of them were described from single specimens of only one sex
and are hardly recognizable from minor differences of body coloration and sizes of face,
facialia and gena. The reduced apical portion of costal vein is a synapomorphy ofCampylocera Macquart, Congopyrgota Acze´l, Diasteneura Hendel, Hypotyphla Loew, Prohypotyphla Hendel, Hypotyphlina Enderlein and some other genera, mostly afrotropical. Their

relationships are poorly understood and need further study. Oriental species of Campylocera
are heavily and long setose, including scutellum and oviscape (fig. 13, 1, 3–4).
Several species of Campylocera, including C. hirsuta Aldrich (fig. 13, 1–3) occur
in Taiwan and southern Mainland China, but none has been recorded yet from the Palaearctic Region.
Enderlein (1942) originally noted two differences of Teliophleps, the M vein notreaching the wing margin, and the scutellum with 6 setae. From the study of the typespecimens of T. apicalis and a wide range of Campylocera species, it becomes evident
that both characters are represented in many species including both type species of thetwo nominal genera. The type species of Teliophleps is quite a typical representative ofCampylocera, and must be transferred to that genus, as Campylocera apicalis (Enderlein), comb. n. I therefore consider Teliophleps a junior subjective synonym of Campylocera. Furthermore, the name Teliophleps Enderlein is a junior homonym of Teliophleps Hering, 1940 and thus unavailable.
Dicrostira was established to separate a species, which has antennal groves shorter
than in the other Campylocera, the character actually widely varying among examined
species. The type species of Dicrostira, which has no other considerable differences from
Campylocera, is transferred to that genus, as Campylocera partitigena (Enderlein), comb.
n., and Dicrostira is a junior subjective synonym of Campylocera.
Acze´l (1958) has synonymized Hexamerinx Enderlein and Stypina Enderlein with
Campylocera and decreased the rank of Stypina to subgenus. Study of the type species ofthese two genera shows there are no considerable differences to distinguish them, except

V. A. Korneyev

Hexamerinx has 6 scutellar setae and Stypina possesses the spur vein on R2+3 (Korneyev,
unpublished data); both characters are variable in some species of Pyrgotidae.
Examined species of Campylocera also have long and rigid lateral, medial dorsoapical and ventro-apical lobes of the oviscape, and the eversible membrane is very often
semi-everted in collection specimens (fig. 13, 3–4).

D i a g n o s i s. R2+3 with or without spur vein, costal vein posteriorly of R4+5 vein
distinctive, wing grey with numerous hyaline spots (fig. 14, 1, 3), femora without spinelike setulae, oviscape ventro-medially with unpaired hook-like projection (derivative ofapical ventro-medial lobe of oviscape) (fig. 14, 4). Scutellum short and sparsely setulose, with 2 pairs of setae.
R e m a r k s. The genus includes 35 species in Afrotropical (of them, 19 in Madagascar), 2 in Oriental and 1 in Palaearctic Regions. While there are considerable hiatuses
between afrotropical Tephritopyrgota and other genera occurring in the Afrotropical Region,
Asian Tephritopyrgota hardly can be differentiated only from their reticulate grey wing pattern, without study male and especially female genitalia. At least, there is a reticulate wing
pattern in two species currently assigned to Adapsilia (namely, A. longicauda and A. microcera). However, such a pattern is widespread in various unrelated genera of Pyrgotidae(Australasian Cardiacera, some New World genera, etc.) being either plesiomorphic or subject to homoplasy, and cannot serve evidence that A. longicauda and A. microcera belong toTephritopyrgota, until the structures of the apex of oviscape are examined.

D i a g n o s i s. Gena with faint subocular spot. All head setae present, incl. 2 or, 1 oc,
1 poc, vti and vte. Thorax with brown pattern on mesonotum and pleuron, complete
set of setae (incl. prst sa, 2 dc, 1 ac, 2 pairs of sctl, 1 kepst). Scutellum setulose. R2+3
without spur vein, R4+5 bare. Mid femur without bare area.
R e m a r k s. The examined syntype specimen was rather adequately described byHendel (1933) and needs no redescription. It is closely related to the group of afrotropical species, which includes the type species, Tephritopyrgota passerina Hendel, sharing
the fronto-facial angle acute and strongly produced anteriorly (fig. 14, 1, 3).
Judging from original English diagnosis and figures (Shi, 1996: 595, fig. 91),
T. yunnanensis does not differ conspicuously from the holotype of T. miliaria (all thecharacters given as differences of T. yunnanensis are virtually present in A. miliaria),
and the two species are very probably synonyms. Additional material must be examined
to justify their synonymy.

R e m a r k s. Ten species occur in the Palaearctic Region, of them only 7 were listed
by Soo´s (1984) in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera under the name Adapsilia. Steyskal(1977) listed one species under the subgenus Eupyrgota, but some oriental species assigned
to Adapsilia s. str., may actually belong here. Three species of afrotropical Adapsilia (seeSteyskal, 1980) have 2 hooks on oviscape, but the femoral spines are expressed either
poorly or not expressed at all. Taxonomic position of Australasian species assigned toAdapsilia (Pitkin, 1989) is also unclear. Chen (1947) keyed Chinese species and has partly separated Eupyrgota from Adapsilia Coquillett. The concept of the genus was recently
reconsidered by Kim and Han (2001). Most species remain inadequately described; thecharacters used for identification are mostly head and body pattern and chaetotaxy. Most
species were keyed by Hendel (1914, 1934) under Adapsilia. Chen (1947) provided a key
to 7 Chinese, and Kim and Han (2000, 2001) to 3 Korean species. A key to eastern
palaearctic species is compiled by Korneyev and Nartshuk (in press).
Only 3 species were available in this study, and further material is needed to be
examined. Judging from descriptions, I am assuming that some species names may
appear synonyms.

Thoracic setae and femoral setulae long and black. Femora with 2 rows of thickened

with 2 large longitudinal spots; oviscape without dark markings, as long as or slightly
longer than preabdomen.
R e m a r k s. Oviscape strongly shrivelled in the holotype, so preapical hooks are notvisible. However, head and body coloration, shape of antenna and palpus and wing pattern and venation, in combination with spinulose femora, clearly show that this species
belongs to Eupyrgota, differing from all eastern Palaearctic species by having 4 scutellar setae. The only other Palaearctic species with 4 sctl, E. wagae (Bigot) occurs in the
Near East and Middle Asia and differs by very short setae on head and legs.
Eupyrgota tigrina Kim et Han, 2000
Kim, Han, 2000: 227. — facialis Hendel, 1934: 148; Chen, 1947: 66; Steyskal, 1977: 38 (Adapsilia)(possible senior synonym).

R e m a r k s. A. facialis from Taiwan is known to me from its original short diagnosis (in the key); it is characterized by 2 pairs of sctl setae, ventral part of antennal
groove and gena with brownish black spots, femora ventrally spinulose, and the prosternum setulose. These characters coincide with those of the only species E. tigrina from
Korea, which was described in details recently; no further details were provided byHendel. However, the key characters of A. facialis also fit all species of Euphya Wulp,
1885, the genus, which differs by the face concave, without medial carina. H.-Y. Han
and S.-K. Kim (pers. comm.) examined some specimens superficially resembling E. tigrina and determined as Euphya tripunctata Doleschall in USNM collection (Steyskal
det.). Females of that species have the bare mid-femoral spot located in the basal third,
which is another character, found in all hitherto examined species of Euphya (Korne-

yev, personal observation), whereas in E. tigrina the bare spot is in the apical third of
mid femur. To confirm or disprove possible synonymy of E. tigrina and A. facialis, thetype material of A. facialis is needs to be re-examined.

Hone [blue printed label]”, { (ZMHB)

R e m a r k s. The species is adequately redescribed by Kim and Han (2000).
Coquillett (1898) mentioned a male or males in his description, however, it literally says that “…the hypopyg… almost as long as the first abdominal segment”; however, male hypopygium is much smaller in this species; also, Coquillett mentioned fivevisible tergites (i. e., 1+2 syntergite and 3–6 tergites), which means that the examined
specimen certainly was a female. Coquillett merely took its oviscape with two apical
hooks as male genitalia and have erred in thinking this specimen to be a male. I therefore consider the female specimen a syntype of E. luteola. There is another female withsame labels except the red type label in the collection of USNM (A. Norrbom, pers.
comm.), but certainly no males.

Thoracic setae very short, prst sa, dc and prsc ac completely reduced, ppn, anepst andkepst very short, seta-like. Prosternum with pair of postero-ventral processes bearing

portion of eucoxite and disticoxite with brush of moderately thick setulae directed
poster-ventrally. Femora with 2 ventral rows of short thickened setae, mid femur withbare area. Epandrium short, with moderately elongate surstyli (fig. 16, 1); proctiger
large, dorso-ventrally flattened, with cerci separated by membrane, but not bilobate;glans of phallus as in fig. 16, 4. Oviscape 0.7 times as long as mesonotum and preabdomen, with 2 apico-ventral hooks; aculeus short, subtriangular, as shown for E. rufosetosa (Kim, Han, 2000: fig. 4B).
R e m a r k s. This species agrees with the diagnosis of Eupyrgota, differing fromother Palaearctic species of the genus by the combination of yellow and black body
pattern, short black setae (including 4 sctl), both black and yellow setulae, mid
femur of female with bare area and very complex structure of glans in male. It is the
only species of the family known so far in the Middle East of the Palaearctic Region.
T. Becker (1905) intentionally changed the original spelling to “wagae”, and Soo´s(1984) modified it to “wagai”, to reflect the original spelling of Michal Waga’s name andthe fact that he was a man. Both these spellings are, in the terms of the Code (ICZN,

R e m a r k s. When Enderlein (1942) described Dicranostira, he apparently had seen
only the type specimen or an early draft of Hering’s manuscript, but not the publishedpaper by Hering (1940). The specimens mentioned in Enderlein’s paper, were determined in 1934, before the date of publication of Hering’s paper. Hering had alreadypublished ornata under the genus name Parageloemyia, not Geloemyia, as was suggested by Enderlein, who compared Dicranostyra with Geloemyia, not with Parageloemyia.
Enderlein (loc. cit.: 98), also noted that Dicranostyra and Parageloemyia differ in thepresence of facial fork. Actually, P. nigrofasciata has a smoothed carina with a low,
almost inconspicuous fork, as in some specimens of P. quadriseta.
Currently, Parageloemyia includes 3 species occurring in the Far East of Palaearctic Region: P. nigrofasciata (Hendel, 1933), P. quadriseta (Hendel, 1933) and P. wonjuensis Kim et Han, 2001, and the fourth, P. globa Shi, 1996 in Oriental Region (China:

Yunnan). A key to 3 Palaearctic species is provided by the author (Korneyev, Nartshuk,in press). The monotypic genus Geloemyia Hendel, 1908 is known only from the type
locality of G. stylata Hendel (type species), Tongking (Vietnam), and must be excluded from the list of genera occurring in the Palaearctic Region.
Parageloemyia is closely related to Trichempodia trifasciata Enderlein, 1942 from
Madagascar (Korneyev, unpublished data). They share R-M crossvein situated proximally of R1 apex, R4+5 setulose, terminalia structure (unknown for Trichempodia cockerelli Malloch), and probably form a monophyletic group, differing mainly by details of
chaetotaxy and head shape.

Judging from illustrations, specimens recorded from Korea and China (Kirin) in these
papers actually belong in P. quadriseta.
Wing pattern in species determined as P. nigrofasciata or P. quadriseta is variable,
and they might actually be synonyms, if more specimens are available.

The two genera names are based on type species, which are synonyms. Chen wascertainly unaware of Enderlein’s paper. S.-K. Kim and H.-Y. Han (2000) recently provided a detailed redescription of Paradapsilia.

Examined types of P. fasciolata fit the description and figures of P. trinotata (Chen,
