How does
Peusomyia relate to
Sayomyia, where American species with leg and wing markings are placed?

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.

Thanks. I have Saether (1970). Borkent (1979, fig. 36) agreed they were distinct, but arranged subgenera differently. I must have only been paying attention to New World species when I read their papers.
