Summary

Description

Megophthalmidia illyrica Chandler & al. 2006 ♂ (Diptera Sciaroidea Mycetophilidae Leiinae Megophthalmidiini).

Megophthalmidia Dziedzicki 1889: 19 (IT: 3) spp.

FLVOR of this species in IT outside IT-88. Same specimen, lateral-sx, dorsal and frontal habitus. Cfr. notes¹ over the above image.

Megophthalmidia Dziedzicki 1889, Aphrastomyia Coher & Lane 1949 and Mohelia Matile 1978 compose a single clade well nested within Leiinae. 13 synapomorphies support Megophthalmidiini monophyly: 8 have independent origins within Leinae, 5 are uniquely derived in this tribus. No exclusive apomorphies lump Mohelia with Aphrastomyia, and the clade is supported by 4 apomorphies that also appear elsewhere.

NOTES:

1. TBL 2.5 mm. Specific diagnostic characters: Sc short, incomplete, inclined toward R, ending free; R1 short, curved toward wing margin, longer than r-m. Few interocelar setae; no distinct longer seta at pedicel apex.
