Malloch (1913a: 334) considered a 
female from Hampton, N.H. , to have the 
squamal fringe dark and to be identical 
with two specimens of A. nigripes 
Schiner from Europe that he examined. 
As the name A. nigripes is preoccupied 
by A. nigripes Meigen, Malloch gave 
the species the new name of A. 
subnigripes . Hendel synonymized A. 
subnigripes with A. morosa Meigen, a 
common species in Europe, in which the 
squamal fringe is black. 
Examination of the specimens from New 
Hampshire treated by Malloch as A. 
subnigripes confirms that the squamal 
fringe is pale, as correctly noted by 
Frick (loc. cit.). Although Malloch 
was correct to give a new name to A. 
nigripes of Schiner, he was incorrect 
to apply this name to the New 
Hampshire specimen, which he in fact 
misidentif ied owing to its squamal 
fringe being pale. This specimen is 
indeed identical with A. aprilina , but 
it has no status in nomenclature and 
Frick's synonymy is thus rejected. 
Agromyza bispinata Spencer (new to 
U.S.A.) 
(Figs. 408-410) 
Agromyza bispinata Spencer, 1969a: 39. 
Holotype male from Ontario in CNC. 
Additional material recently studied 
Shows this species to be widespread in 
America and records from six States 
are given here. The two strong spines 
at the lower corner of the epandrium 
(fig. 410) are distinctive, and the 
aedeagus is shown in figures 408, 
409. The conspicuously pubescent 
third antennal segment is another 
distinguishing character.

Agromyza hardy i Spencer, new species 
(Figs. 401, 402) 
Head. Frons broad, twice width of 
eye, not projecting above eye in 
profile; 2 ors, 3 ori, orbital setulae 
sparse, reclinate; gena narrow in 
center below eye, somewhat extended at 
rear, up to 0.17 height of eye; 3d 
antennal segment small, round, arista 
short, equal to width of eye in pro- 
file. 
Mesonotum. 3 strong postsutural dc, 
prsc similar to dc 2. 
Wing. Length in male 3.25 mm, C 
extending to M 1+2, last section of 
M 3+4 short, 0.5 penultimate, inner 
crossvein at midpoint of discal cell. 
Color. Frons dark brown, antenna 
black; mesonotum matt grayish black, 
with only faintest subshine; legs with 
femora blackish, knees yellow, tibiae 
and tarsi conspicuously yellow; veins 
dark brown; squama and fringe silvery 
white . 
Male genitalia. Aedeagus (figs. 401, 
402) asymmetrical, distinctive. 
Host/early stages. Unknown. 
Holotype m. , Utah, Cache Co., 
Blacksmith Fork Canyon, 12. VI. 38 (D. 
E. Hardy and A. T. Hardy), in USNM. 
Remarks. The male genitalia show this 
species to be related to A. pseudo- 
reptans but even more closely to a 
shining black species, A. pseudoruf ipes 
Nowakowski, 1964, known in Europe as a 
leaf miner on Myosotis (Boraginaceae) .
