T y p e s p e c i e s: <i>L epidomyia lugens</i> Kieffer, 1894: 211 (monotypy). <i>Ledomyia</i> Kieffer, 1895: cccxx, new name for <i>Lepidomyia</i> Kieffer. D i a g n o s i s (fig. 6, <i>1–7</i>; 8, <i>3, 4</i>). Wing, body and legs are conspicuously covered by scales. Antennae are 2+8–12-segmented. Male flagellomeres subcylindrical with neck and swollen basal enlargement. Female flagellomeres elongated, sessile, without neck. Tarsal claws toothed on the forelegs, toothed or simple on the mid- and hindlegs. Palpi are mostly 4-segmented, labrum triangular. Wing is broad, R 1+2 joins C before its midlength. R 4+5 is straight or curved, joins C rather far before wing apex; C broken at junction with R 4+5; Cu is forked. Genitalia are transversal. Gonocoxites are ovoid or parallel-sided. Gonostylus is short, excavated ventrally, terminated by very wide apical or dorso-apical claw, protruding from dorsal part of gonostylus. Cerci are cordiform with very deep excision. Hypoproct slightly caved. Aedeagus usually equal or longer than gonocoxites. Basal processes of gonocoxites are well developed, strongly narrowed apically. Ovipositor very long, extensible, apically with two terminal lamellae with two small, obtuse spines. &amp;Rcy;&amp;icy;&amp;scy;. 6. <i>Ledomyia olgae</i>, &amp;scy;&amp;acy;&amp;mcy;&amp;iecy;&amp;tscy;, &amp;gcy;&amp;ocy;&amp;lcy;&amp;ocy;&amp;tcy;&amp;icy;&amp;pcy; (&amp;icy;&amp;ncy;&amp;vcy;. &amp;ncy;&amp;ocy;&amp;mcy;&amp;iecy;&amp;rcy; K–3697 &amp;kcy;&amp;ocy;&amp;lcy;&amp;lcy;&amp;iecy;&amp;kcy;&amp;tscy;&amp;icy;&amp;icy; &amp;Icy;&amp;ncy;&amp;scy;&amp;tcy;&amp;icy;&amp;tcy;&amp;ucy;&amp;tcy;&amp;acy; &amp;zcy;&amp;ocy;&amp;ocy;&amp;lcy;&amp;ocy;&amp;gcy;&amp;icy;&amp;icy; &amp;Ncy;&amp;Acy;&amp;Ncy; &amp;Ucy;&amp;kcy;&amp;rcy;&amp;acy;&amp;icy;&amp;ncy;&amp;ycy;): <i>1 —</i> &amp;ocy;&amp;bcy;&amp;shchcy;&amp;icy;&amp;jcy; &amp;vcy;&amp;icy;&amp;dcy;; <i>2, 3 —</i> &amp;shchcy;&amp;ucy;&amp;pcy;&amp;icy;&amp;kcy; (&amp;icy;&amp;zcy;&amp;mcy;&amp;iecy;&amp;ncy;&amp;chcy;&amp;icy;&amp;vcy;&amp;ocy;&amp;scy;&amp;tcy;&amp;softcy; &amp;fcy;&amp;ocy;&amp;rcy;&amp;mcy;&amp;ycy;); 4 — 9–11-&amp;jcy; &amp;chcy;&amp;lcy;&amp;iecy;&amp;ncy;&amp;icy;&amp;kcy;&amp;icy; &amp;zhcy;&amp;gcy;&amp;ucy;&amp;tcy;&amp;icy;&amp;kcy;&amp;acy;, <i>5 —</i> 5-&amp;jcy; &amp;chcy;&amp;lcy;&amp;iecy;&amp;ncy;&amp;icy;&amp;kcy; &amp;zhcy;&amp;gcy;&amp;ucy;&amp;tcy;&amp;icy;&amp;kcy;&amp;acy;, <i>6</i>, <i>7</i> — &amp;gcy;&amp;iecy;&amp;ncy;&amp;icy;&amp;tcy;&amp;acy;&amp;lcy;&amp;icy;&amp;icy; (<i>6</i> — &amp;scy;&amp;ncy;&amp;icy;&amp;zcy;&amp;ucy;, <i>7</i> — &amp;scy;&amp;vcy;&amp;iecy;&amp;rcy;&amp;khcy;&amp;ucy;). &amp;Mcy;&amp;acy;&amp;scy;&amp;shcy;&amp;tcy;&amp;acy;&amp;bcy;&amp;ncy;&amp;ycy;&amp;iecy; &amp;lcy;&amp;icy;&amp;ncy;&amp;iecy;&amp;jcy;&amp;kcy;&amp;icy; 0.1 mm.

Species included. The genus is nearly cosmopolitan, two species were described from tropical regions (Fedotova, Sidorenko, 2007). Genus includes 26 species, 17 of them are Palaearctic (Mamaev, 1967; Skuhravá, 1997; Gagné, 2004, 2010; Fedotova, Sidorenko, 2007; Fedotova, Perkovsky, 2008). Some undescribed species are known from Middle Miocene Mexican amber (Gagné, 1973) and Late Eocene Baltic amber, part of species were mistakenly included in extinct genus <i>Ledomyiella</i> Meunier, 1904, known from Baltic amber. From Late Eocene Rovno amber was described <i>Ledomyia dextra</i> Fedotova et Perkovsky, 2008. Most of the included species have been reared from fresh-cut logs (Gagné, 1985, 2010; Rock, Jackson 1985). <i>Ledomyia collarata</i> Gagné, 1987 was reared from galls on a fungus <i>Xylaria enterogena</i> Mont. (Xylariaceae, Ascomycetes) (Larew et al., 1987); its adults are unknown and the species is only tentatively placed in this genus.
