Key to world species of genus Macgregoromyia
Except for the new species, the key was compiled based on the literature as indicated. For brevicula, celestia, shikokuana and szechwanensis include reference to the very detailed figures in Savchenko 1983 (wing and male genitalia). For fohkienensis includes a female specimen from Chinese province Zhejiang.
