Winnertzia Rondani, 1860

= Parwinnertzia Felt, 1920 syn. nov.

The generic definition of Winnertzia used here is the same we applied earlier ( Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013: 75), with the novelty that Parwinnertzia Felt is treated as a junior synonym (see the section on the phylogeny of the setosa group). Accordingly, the genus includes Winnertziini with multiporous translucent sensilla, single-lobed gonostyli, and unsclerotized, largely unmodified tegmina. Other genera of Winnertziini with multiporous sensilla are Ekmanomyia Jaschhof and Bernadottea Jaschhof & Jaschhof , both with sclerotized, process-bearing tegmina. Also, in Bernadottea the gonostyli are bilobed and the gonocoxae are more complex compared with other Winnertziini . The remaining Winnertziini , namely Clinorhytis Kieffer , Kronomyia Felt , and Rhipidoxylomyia Mamaev , have uniporous antennal sensilla, which are either single-pointed or furcate, and tegmina resembling that of Winnertzia . We see no reason to doubt that Winnertzia is a monophyletic group.
