2. Abdominal tergites entirely dark or light, or dark with paler posterior margins; abdominal tergite 8 with setae; tergal part of male hypopygium without a fork-like median structure; ocellar prominence not distinctly darker than posterior parts of head …............................................................ subgenus Mycomya s. str.: M. occultans (Winnertz)

3. Sternal synsclerite of male hypopygium with long, wide, sternal lateral appendages (extending towards tergal part of hypopygium in lateral view; e.g. Figs. 2 C, 4C, 5C, 8C); tergal part of hypopygium without lateral appendages (e.g. Figs. 2 A, 4A, 5A)....................................................................... ..
