REMARKS This genus is easily recognized by the presence of a stridulatory organ, in the form of a band of chitinized scales on the side of the abdomen along the margin of the fused tergites 1 and 2. The adults are usually completely black with white or yellow halter (except for the Neotropical species A. fusca Spencer, 1963 with black halter and A. insolens Spencer, 1963 with brownish halter), usually have three or more pairs of dc (a few species with only two well-developed postsutural dc and a third small one. Agromyza megaepistoma Sasakawa, 2005 from Ecuador has only two postsutural dc with rarely a third small one) and well-developed prsc. A single male specimen of Agromyza was collected on the Mitaraka massif ( Boucher & Pollet 2021 ) and represents a new species that is described below.
