Australian Anthomyiidae (Diptera).

Abstract

The Australian fauna includes nine known species of Anthomyiidae: four of Anthomyia, two of Delia, and one each of Craspedochoeta, Paregle, and Fucellia. Of the last five, four are accidental introductions, as is one of the Anthomyia, and the fifth (D. urbana Malloch) may well be another. In addition, two species of Pegohylemyia were deliberately introduced, apparently without establishment, and another, New Guinean, species of Anthomyia might possibly occur in northern areas. The species are reviewed and a key given for their identification. Two of the Anthomyia are described as new.
