Tomomyzinae Becker

Type genus: Tomomyza Wiedemann, 1820 .

The subfamily Tomomyzinae originally included Antonia and the genera now placed in the Prorostomatini. This arrangement was accepted by Hesse (1956), but most other authors had synonymised the Tomomyzinae with the Cylleniinae . However, Yeates (1994) found that the African genera Tomomyza and Pantostomus , along with four other genera from the Americas and Australia, form a separate clade and constitute a valid subfamily.
