Submitted by Irina Brake on Fri, 2011-02-04 20:04

Diagnostic Description

Vibrissa below or at the level of lower margin of eye; head in profile subquadrate; vertical diameter of eye less than 1.5x the horizontal diameter; postocellar setae only slightly converging or parallel. Frons in male as wide as in female. Basisternum large and V-shaped, sometimes with a precoxal bridge. Wing with subcostal notch seldom evident, never well-developed; R4+5 and M1 not or only slightly converging at tips; distal margin of anal cell (CuA2) usually rounded (if not, then epistoma extended dorsally, subtriangular). First tarsomere of hind leg without a posteroventral comb of setae. Abdominal tergites of male without silvery microtomentum.

Key to genera of Milichiidae

Edited by Irina Brake on Mon, 2010-11-15 10:09

This key has been adapted from Brake (2000).

1. Vibrissa below or at the level of lower margin of eye; head in profile subquadrate; vertical diameter of eye less than 1.5x the horizontal diameter. Frons in male as wide as in female. Wing with subcostal notch seldom evident, never well-developed; R4+5 and M1 not or only slightly converging at tips; distal margin of anal cell (CuA2) usually rounded (if not, then epistoma extended dorsally, subtriangular). Abdominal tergites of male without silvery microtomentum.

The relationship between the Milichiidae and Carnidae

Edited by Irina Brake on Thu, 2009-02-12 14:03

The question of whether the Carnidae is a subfamily of the Milichiidae or a separate family has for long been a subject for discussion. The reason for this is the similarity between the carnid genera Meoneura and
Hemeromyia, and several Madizinae. Both groups are characterised by the presence of two medioclinate "frontal" setae and two lateroclinate orbital setae. This condition is unique in the Schizophora.
