Carpomya

Freidberg, Amnon, 2016, New taxa of Carpomyini, with special emphasis on Goniglossum (Diptera: Tephritidae: Trypetinae), Zootaxa 4144 (1), pp. 54-70 : 56-57

Carpomya group of genera

Norrbom (1997) ran a cladistic analysis of the species of Carpomya , Myiopardalis , and Goniglossum that were available at the time of his publication, plus tica , his newly-described species that he assigned to Carpomya , but here is placed in a new genus. I consider all these species, as well as the new species of Goniglossum , as constituting a monophyletic group within the Carpomyina , equivalent to Carpomya sensu Norrbom , and here informally named the Carpomya group of genera.

As conceived here, the six species comprising the Carpomya group of genera are all Old-World species, while tica is a New-World taxon. Most of the remaining genera listed under Carpomyina are strictly New-World taxa, whereas Rhagoletis , the largest genus in the subtribe (with 73 species out of a total of 112), occurs in both hemispheres.
