Helosciomyza anaxantha species group

This group is characterized as indicated in the above key. It resembles the genera Luta and Neosciomyza in the convex scutellum and less shortened segment 4 of the male fore tarsus, but lacks the anterior epandrial process and the basal surstylar process, both present in the males of those groups. Usually there are just two pairs of dorsocentral bristles but one specimen has three well-developed pairs. Among Australian helosciomyzids, the combination of dorsally convex scutellum with absence (without trace) of the proepimeral bristle occurs only in this group.

The only included species is H. anaxantha Steyskal.
