  Genus 
  Stenomicra 
  Coquillett, 
  1900 
  

  

  This 
  genus 
  was 
  described 
  as 
  a 
  drosophilid, 
  and 
  is 
  still 
  sometimes 
  

   referred 
  to 
  that 
  family. 
  Stm"tevant 
  (1923) 
  referred 
  it 
  to 
  the 
  "Geo- 
  

   myzidae," 
  and 
  Hendel 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  Brues 
  and 
  Melander 
  (1932) 
  put 
  it 
  

   in 
  the 
  Asteidae, 
  a 
  reference 
  not 
  favored 
  by 
  Sabrosky 
  (1943). 
  Czemy 
  

   (1929) 
  described 
  Podocera 
  ramifera, 
  from 
  Ceylon, 
  as 
  a 
  periscelid. 
  

   Hendel 
  and 
  Malloch 
  both 
  point 
  out 
  that 
  Podocera 
  is 
  a 
  synonym 
  of 
  

   Stenomicra 
  and 
  that 
  it 
  should 
  not 
  be 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  Periscelidae. 
  

   Finally, 
  the 
  British 
  and 
  Fijian 
  genus 
  Diadelops 
  Collin 
  (1944, 
  1951) 
  is 
  

   evidently 
  a 
  synonym 
  of 
  Stenomicra. 
  Collin 
  places 
  this 
  genus 
  in 
  the 
  

   Anthomyzidae, 
  near 
  Anagnota, 
  a 
  disposition 
  that 
  seems 
  appropriate 
  

   for 
  Stenomicra. 
  

  

  Stenomicra 
  was 
  overlooked 
  by 
  Curran 
  (1934). 
  Malloch 
  (1927) 
  

   has 
  presented 
  a 
  key 
  to 
  the 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  world, 
  of 
  which 
  Stenomicra 
  

   angustata 
  Coquillett 
  is 
  the 
  only 
  known 
  American 
  one. 
  

  

  Stenomicra 
  angustata 
  Coquillett, 
  1900 
  

  

  Coquillett 
  (1900) 
  recorded 
  this 
  species 
  from 
  Puerto 
  Rico, 
  and 
  

   Sturtevant 
  (1923) 
  added 
  localities 
  in 
  Pennsylvania, 
  Florida, 
  Alabama, 
  

   and 
  Louisiana. 
  I 
  have 
  since 
  seen 
  four 
  specimens 
  collected 
  by 
  Dr. 
  H. 
  D. 
  

   Stallcer 
  at 
  Creve 
  Coeur, 
  Mo., 
  about 
  the 
  reedy 
  shores 
  of 
  a 
  fresh-water 
  

   pond 
  (July 
  15, 
  1951).
