Ferro, Gustavo Borges & Marshall, Stephen A., 2020, A redefinition of Paragrallomyia Hendel (Diptera: Micropezidae, Taeniapterinae) and a revision of the P. albibasis complex, Zootaxa 4822 (1), pp. 39-70 : 43-44

Paragrallomyia and Taeniaptera couplet, starting at “14” in Marshall’s (2010: 809) “ Taeniaptera Macquart” lead

14’) Wing membrane around anterior part of dm-cu almost always unpigmented ( Figs. 1 , 6 ); if pigmented ( Paragrallomyia brasiliensis ) then cell r 4+5 open at the wing margin. Cell r 4+5 rarely closed (closed only in the Central American species P. vulpes ). Distal distiphallus narrow, basal distiphallus twice as wide as distal distiphallus and membranous ( Figs. 5 , 9 , 23 , 34 , 38 , 42 , 46 , 52 , 56 )............................................................................ Paragrallomyia Hendel

- Wing membrane around dm-cu completely pigmented and cell r 4+5 always closed at the wing margin ( Fig. 2 ). Distal distiphallus as wide as basal distiphallus and heavily sclerotized ( Fig. 2 ).................................. Taeniaptera Macquart
