Saether erected the subgenus Peusomyia in 1970. He felt that the characters shared between pallidus and the Sayomyia species were plesiomorphic. He lists a number of characters which appeared to suggest that Peusomyia was more closely related to Schadanophasma and Chaoborus s.s. Let me know if you would like the ref, or a pdf of the relevant pages.

I must have only been paying attention to New World species when I read their papers. Edited by John Carr on 17-06-2015 01:25 |
