Desmatoneura Williston View in CoL
Desmatoneura Williston, 1895: 267 View in CoL . Type species: Desmatoneura argentifrons Williston, 1895 View in CoL , by monotypy. Chionamoeba Sack, 1909: 510 , 543. Type species: Bibio nivea Rossi, 1790 , by original designation.
Chiasmella Bezzi, 1924: 156 . Type species: Chiasmella brevipennis Bezzi, 1924 View in CoL , by original designation. Comments: François (1967) demonstrated that the genus Chionamoeba is a synonym of the American Desmatoneura View in CoL , and Greathead (1988 b) found that Chiasmella is also a synonym. The generic identity of species is readily confirmed by the large, conical phallosome lacking a separate epiphallus, and by the tumid frons, unlike other genera with a similar habitus, e.g. species of Xeramoeba Hesse. View in CoL
