Abstract:
The genus Asteralobia (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae, Asphondyliini, Schizomyiina) was erected by Kovalev (1964) based on the presence of constrictions on the cylindrical male flagellomeres. In the present study, we examine the morphological features of Asteralobia and Schizomyia and found that the male flagellomeres are constricted also in Schizomyiagaliorum , the type species of Schizomyia . Because no further characters clearly separating Asteralobia from Schizomyia were observed, we synonymize Asteralobia under Schizomyia . Molecular phylogenetic analysis strongly supports our taxonomic treatment. We describe five new species of Schizomyia from Japan, S.achyranthesae Elsayed & amp; Tokuda, sp. n. , S.diplocyclosae Elsayed & amp; Tokuda, sp. n. , S.castanopsisae Elsayed & amp; Tokuda, sp. n. , S.usubai Elsayed & amp; Tokuda, sp. n. , and S.paederiae Elsayed & amp; Tokuda, sp. n. , and redescribe three species, S.galiorum Kieffer, S.patriniae Shinji, and S.asteris Kovalev. A taxonomic key to the Japanese Schizomyia species is provided.
