appropriate to include the two groups 
in a single genus. One species is 
known in Europe as a leaf miner on 
Vi-°i a an d was described as Liriomyza 
violiphaga Hendel, 1932; this has the 
scutellum yellow. However, it also 
lacks the stridulating mechanism, and 
the aedeagus and epandrium (Spencer, 
1976a: figs. 515-517) closely resemble 
those of G. violivora . This species 
is therefore transferred here to 
Galiomyza . Another new species in 
this complex has been discovered in 
the Austrian Alps and will be described 
later by Tschirnhaus.
