Genus Helosciomyza Hendel View in CoL

Helosciomyza Hendel, 1917: 3 View in CoL . Type species (monotypy): H. ferruginea Hendel View in CoL [= Helosciomyza fuscinevris (Macquart) View in CoL ].

Notes Helosciomyza View in CoL is characterized as indicated in the above

key, but is particularly justified by the following three apomorphic conditions of the male postabdomen, not simultaneously present in other Australian genera: (1) anterior epandrial process absent; (2) basal surstylar process absent; (3) elongate, freely projecting epiphallus present on aedeagus.
