The main taxonomic and faunistic works dealing
with Tephritinae of the Russian Far East were
referred to in my previous papers [Korneyev, 1986,
1987, 1990]. Also, the Palaearctic species of the
genus U ro p h o ra (tribe Myopitini) have been re
vised by Korneyev and White [1991, 1992, 1993].
When treating material from the collections of
Zoological Institute (St.-Petersburg), of Zoologi-
cal Museum of the Moscow University and of
Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology (Kiev), and
preparing a chapter of Dipteran volume for “The
Keys for Identification to Insects of the Soviet Far
East”, several species of the subfamily Tephritinae
were added to the list of species known already from
this region.
The following acronyms are used for the institu
tions where the collections are located:
DEI — Project Entomologie (Deutsches Entomologisches Institut), Eberswalde-Finow; SIZK —
Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology, National Acad
emy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kiev; NHML —

Su b fa m ily Te p h r it in a e
Tribe Xyphosiini Hendel, 1927
REMARKS.Hendel [1927] originally included in
the Xyphosiini, besides X y p h o sia R.-D., also A c in ia R.D. (now assigned to Tephritini), and Ic te ric a Lw. The
Palaearctic species placed in the latter genus are now
treated under Ic te ric od es Hering and M e rzo m y ia Kor
neyev, nom.nXsee below). The New World tribe Acrotaeniini [Foote et al., 1993] apparently is closely related.
Ic te ric o d es is the only Palaearctic genus closely
related to X yp h o sia . Another genus obviously belonging
here is Ic te ric a Loew (see below). The diagnosis of
Xyphosiini must be redefined as follows.
DIAGNOSIS. Anterior and posterior orbital bristles
of same colour (plesiomorphy). Outside Tephritinae, in
Tephritinae: Terelliini, in the genera, related to Jam eso m yia Quisenberry and H ypenidiu m Loew, and in
Aciurini posterior or is black to light yellow, as the
anterior one, whereas in the remaining Tephritinae p or
is white (except in Myopitini having only one or).
All head and body bristles and setae are yellow
(apomorphy). Most Tephritidae have bristles black to
dark brown, except in A c id o x a n th a Hendel (Trypetinae)
and in some species of T erellia R.-D. and A c in ia R.-D.
In Xyphosiini and Acrotaeniini a ll bristles are yellow,
neither black, nor white. It can be either a synapomorphy
of Xyphosiini + Acrotaeniini, or a homoplasy.
Scapular bristles slightly longer than mesonotal
setae. In most Tephritidae, other than Tephritinae (ex
cept P lioreocepta Korneyev, C ephalophysa Hering, and
M a lic a Richter) scapular bristles are large, 2-5 times
longer than other mesonotal setae; this state is presumed
plesiomorphic; in P lioreocepta, Tephritinae: Terelliini,
Xyphosiini, Acrotaeniini, Myopitini, and in the genera
related to Jam eso m yia , they are only 1.5 times longer than
setae, so this character is presumed apomorphic. Further
more, in Oedaspidini, Eutretini, Schistopterini and Te
phritini there is no distinctive scapular bristles at all, and
it is hypothesized to be an advanced state comparing to
Xyphosiini and allied taxa. For the genera of Xyphosiini
this character is believed to be a symplesiomorphy.
Vein R4+5 setulose below (and usually above) to RM
(plesiomorphic). Outside Tephritinae there is R4+J setu
lose below and above in Blcpharoneurinae, Acanthonevrinae, Trypetinae: Gastrozonini, and in some other
taxa, so this state is presumed to be plesiomorphic. Inside
Tephritinae, this character state is found in all Xyphosi
ini, Acrotaeniini, Cccidocharini, A cin ia , D ith r y c a Rondani, P a ra ca n th a Loew, P seu d a cin ia , P la te n sin a Bezzi,
some T ep hritis Latreille and T rupanea Schrank. It is
absent in many non-related or remote genera of Tephriti
nae, including all Terelliini. In the case of Terelliini it
is the synapomorphy of the tribe, but the weight of this
character is extremely low due to numerous homoplasies.
Wing pattern reticulate (apomorphy). Most Te
phritidae beyond Tephritinae have striate or so-called
“aciuroid” type of wing pattern, and the reticulate type
of pattern found in few genera of Acanthonevrinae and
other subfamilies is apparently derived of the other two
types. In the Terelliini and Acrotaeniini, as well as in
Myopitini and Cecidocharini wing pattern is striate,
whereas in Oedaspidini, Tephrellini and genera, allied to
Ja m eso m yia the reticulate pattern is found in few species
and is considered to appear independently. The reticu
late pattern is widespread in the Eutretini / Schistopter
ini/Tephritini complex. The latter taxa are the most
advanced clade of Tephritinae that might be a derivative
of the Xyphosiini, but not its ancestral group. Therefore,
the reticulate pattern is considered here to be a synapo
morphy of X yphosia R.-D., Ictericodes Hering, and
Ic te ric a Lw. The weight of this character is very low.
Gians of aedeagus large (plesiomorphy), without
sclerotized apicodorsal rod (apomorphic), with simple
tubular acrophallus (apomorphy); scape of aedeagus
without additional lobe (= ligula: Korneyev, 1985)
(apomorphy). The aedeagus with large glans, sclerotized
apicodorsal rod, 2(-3) semitubular sclerits of acrophallus
and prcapical lobe of the scape is common in Acanthonevrinac, Trypetinae: Gastrozonini and Tephritinae:
Terelliini. These states characters are plesiomorphic.
Xyphosiini, Acrotaeniini and the rest of Tephritinae
possess advanced states of aedeagus characters (except
the size of glans various) and are presumed to be the main
monophyletic stem of Tephritinae opposite to Terelliini.
Aculeus apex blunt, rounded and broad (plesiomor
phy). The blunt apex of aculeus is known for many
Acanthonevrinae, Phytalmiinae, layng eggs into decaying
wood and plant matter, and in Trypetinae: Gastrozonini,
one of the most primitive feeders of living plant tissues.
Terelliini, Xyphosiini, and Acrotaeniini also possess blunt
aculeus that obviously cannot pierce plant tissues, and use
it for oviposition between florets in composite flowerheads. This state of character is obviously plesiomorphic
in Tephritinae, whereas the acute piercing ovipositors in
the remaining tribes of this subfamily is of an apomorphic
state, though probably liable to homoplasy.
Larvae of P lioreocepta, all Terelliini, X yp ho sia and
S ten o p a (Tephritinae) have the reticulate pattern of the
“facial mask” well-developed and similar in details;
Jam esom yia and Procecidochares also have reticulate
pattern, but no details arc known. It has not been
described for other Tephritinae, and is absent at least in
Urophora. Such pattern is presumed a synapomorphy of
Plioreocepta and Tephritinae, secondary reduced in lar
vae of advanced plant-feeding species. It is the symplesi
omorphy of Tephritinae and does not show close relation
ships between Xyphosiini and other taxa of the subfamily.

The diagnosis includes mostly plesiomorphic charac
ters, but at least uniformly yellow (neither white, nor
black) bristles (including posterior ocellar, all postocu
lar, posterior notopleural, and anepimeral bristles), and
the reticulate wing pattern are considered herein to be
the synapomorphy. Palaearctic X y p h o sia and I c te r i
codes, as well as Nearctic Icterica, fit here. The New
World genera of Acrotaeniini [Foote et al., 1993] are
close to them in many characters, including peculiar
similarities of spermathecae and aculeus shape. The only
sufficient difference is mostly striate, not reticulate wing
pattern; this character is of low value.
Hereof the three latter Holarctic genera are consid
ered to belong to the same tribe, and closely related to
the New World genera assigned to the Acrotaeniini,
derived or sister group of Xyphosiini.

Afrotropical genus, namely P a ra fe u treta Munro, pos

omitted from these works. Recently, Freidberg and
Kaplan [1992] placed this genus in the S p h e n e lla

DIAGNOSIS. Yellow-brown flies of moderate size,
with dark brown wings with numerous irregular yellow
dots and few hyaline spots on them. Eyes uniformly
green in living specimens. Head slightly higher than, or
as high as long; arista short pubescent; 2 fr, 2 or,
posterior or white; postorbital row with intermixed 4-8
long white bristles and 10-12 short black bristles;
labellum longer than 0.7 of parastomal cavity length.
Thorax sparsely microtomentose, subshining including
scutum and scutellum; mesonotal setae white and mod
erately dense, not forming pattern of setulose and bare
areas. Chaetotaxy complete; bristles brown to black,
including p npl, except anepm white; dc between asa
level and transverse suture; 4 scut. Wing elongate; 2
costal spurs 3 times longer than surrounding setae; vein
R1+, setulose to R-M above and below; lower squama
slightly longer than upper one. Hindfemora without
anteroventral row of bristles, at most, with 6-7 smaller
subapical. Abdominal terga very sparsely microtomen
tose, white setulose at most in posteriorly, black setulose
in anteriorly. Female tergum 6 shorter than tergum 5.
Male terminalia: epandrium wide, with flanges serrate
and no prong-like lobes above them; aedeagus with
rather long tube of acrophallus and reduced tale-like
posterior extension of the glans (flagellum) (Fig. 3).
Female terminalia: syntergosternum 7 fine brown or
yellow setulose; aculeus rather broad, very gradually
pointed apically, with subapical step and rounded apex;
two round spermathecae without papillae.
REMARKS. The European T ry p e ta w esterm anni
Mg. was placed by Loew [1862] into O xyp h o ra R.-D.,
1830 (now treated as possible junior synonym of O x yn a
R.-D.). Later, when Loew established Ic te ric a [Loew,
1873], for two Nearctic species, he noted, that “it will
appear more natural to withdraw 0 [ x y p h o r a ] W e ste r
m an ni from the genus [O xy ph ora] and to form a new
genus for it, together with the above described [T ryp eta
s e r ia ta L w ., 1862]... This genus may be caWcd Ic terica ."
Therefore, he originally included T ry p e ta w esterm anni
into Ic te ric a
Coquillett [1910] has designated the Nearctic T ryp e
ta seriata Lw. as a type-species of Ic te ric a Lw. This
designation was accepted by Hendel [1914] in the key to
the of fruit-fly genera of the World. Nevertheless, later
Hendel [1927] has erroneously designated the Palaearctie T ry p e ta w este rm a n n i Mg. as the type-species of
Ic te r ic a ; and it was noted already by Foote and Fre
idberg [1981].
Recently, all Palaearctic species assigned to Icte ric a
were withdrawn from it and placed into O ro ta va Frey
[Korneyev, 1990]. Dr. Bernhard Merz (Ziirich) has
found that these species have isolated position and are
not congeneric with the type species of O ro ta v a (person
al communication). In a further cladistic analysis (Norrbom, Korneyev, in p re p a ra tio n ) these species were
shown to be a monophyletic group, corresponding to the
genus W e ste rm a n n ia Lioy, and not closely related to
either O ro ta va or other genera of th cSp h ene lla group. As
the name of this genus is preoccupied, a new name is
being established here.
ETYMOLOGY. This genus is named after Dr.
Bernhard Merz in recognition of his contribution to the
systcmatics of European Tephritinae. The generic name
is derived from his name, and Greek m u ia (fly). The
gender is feminine.
RELATIONSHIPS. This genus belongs to the
S p h en ella group of genera, fitting the diagnosis in the
following autapomorphic characters: labella moderately
elongate rather than capitate, epandrium broadened
ventrally in posterior view, and larvae associated with
plants from the genus S en ecio s.lat. or closely related to
it. M e rzo m y ia is considered to be the sistcr-group to the
remaining genera, because of having no additional
synapomorphies with any other genera of the group and
lacking characteristic S p h e n e lla - like structure of aedea
gus (with the short scmitubular paired sclcrites of
acrophallus, evolving basal portion of ejaculatory duct,
therefore extending beyond their apices as a membranous
tube). The latter character is presumed to be the syna
pomorphy of the remaining genera, also secondarily
modified in O ro ta va Frey, O rth o ca n th o id es Freidberg,
P seu do ph o re llia Freidberg & Hancock and in some
spccies of T elaletes Munro. M e rzo m y ia may also be
considered a rather derivated member, than the sistergroup, because there is no sufficient evidence, that its
acrophallus structure cannot be derived from th eSp hen el/ö-like one. Autapomorphics of M e rzo m y ia are the
following: abdominal terga (at least 2-4) black setulose
anteriorly, acrophallus simple, elongate tubular, com
pletely sclerotized, tale-like dorso-caudal flagellum re
duced, papillae on spermathecae completely lacking.
M e rzo m y ia fits near diagnosis of P a ra freu treta in
the following features: wing pattern mostly dark brown
with yellow dots and few hyaline spots, no hyaline bands
or wedges, R1+s setulose above beyond R-M vein,
hindfemora without anteroventral row of bristles, surstyli with serrate flanges, but without prong-like posteri
orly directed process, differing in body colour yellow
rather than brown, wing conspicuously elongate, and in
all the characters listed above as its autapomorphics.
O ro ta va Frey resembles M e rzo m y ia in the wing
pattern mostly dark reticulate, the anteroventral row of
bristles on hindfemora lacking, surstyli without prong
like process and aculeus with subapical steps, differing
in all postorbitals black, R1+s bare, wing pattern with
more or less distinct subapical crossband composed of
confluent hyaline spots, different structure of aedeagus
and elongate and papillose spermathecae.
Ic te ric a Loew shares with M erzo m yia the yellow
body color, elongate brownish wing with yellow conflu
ent dots and R4+5 vein setulose above and below at least
Id
R-M crossvein. It differs well in the following
characters: all the bristles, including posterior or, longer
postorbital and anepimcral bristles, and all small setae
yellow, dc in line with asa, epandrium not broadened
ventrally, flanges lacking or, if present, never serrate,
aculeus without subapical steps, spermathecae moder
ately elongate, densely papillose; larvae in flowcrheads
of B id e n s spp. (tribe Coreopsideae). From these charac
ters I consider Ic te ric a to be a member of the tribe
Xyphosiini (Tephritinae), not Tephritini.

According to Zia, P. cheni was described from a female
specimen deposited in collection of “Agricultural Dept, of
Nanking University”. It was not available for examination.
Nevertheless both original description and the specimen
from China mentioned above show that P. cheni does not
differ from D . bidentis and I treat them as synonyms.

This species possesses all the characters of H om oeot
richa Hering, as defined by Korneyev [1993], including
wing pattern, head and wing shape and especially th e
extremely long labella. It fits very close to H . arisanica
(Shiraki) from Taiwan and H . procusa (Dirlbck, Dirlbekova) from Mongolia, differing mainly in the presence
of additional sausage-like hyaline spot just behind th e
stigmal apex. It was described from a single male from
the Inner Mongolia. The three species are extremely
similar, but synonymization is pending until additional
materials are available.

and the Russian Far East, and approximately a dozen of
specics are known to occur in the bordering regions of
westerm and central China, Mongolia and Siberia. The
systematics of the European species of T eph ritis were
rather confuscd until recently, and a provisional review
of East Palaearctic species shows, that more than one
third of specific names are possible synonyms. No
comprehensive keys exist, and many species are not
recognizable from their original descriptions. Therefore,
a complete revision of the Far East species of T eph ritis,
involving the examination of all known type specimens,
is necessary, but I suppose that the preliminary revision
ary data given below add more to the knowledge of this
genus.
Merz [1992] recognized species groups in the genus;
during the present study, several species were found to
have very similar structure of female terminalia and hostplant associations, despite of differences in wing pattern
that had been previously used as a main taxonomic
character. Thus, the species of the Far East are arranged
into the species groups below.

REMARKS. All the examined specimens have very
similar wing pattern, resembling that of T. crepid is
Hendel (Fig. 18) (in the West Palaearctic species of the
d ila c e ra ta group apical brown dots are isolated and do
not form the apical fork). T. a lin i was described from a
male specimen (not examined), that was said to have the
wing pattern also veiy similar to T. crepidis, and
scutellum reddish brown, that fits well T. sonchina too.
As this species was described from a male, it cannot be
securely identified and placed in the d ila cera ta group
until the Far East fauna will be completely examined.
Thus, in the meantime I prefer to treat the two as separate
species.

REMARKS. I have not found any conspicuous differ
ences between the type specimens of T. ismene, and
T. cf. sepa ra ta from Ito’s collection, and T. okera
specimens redescribed by Ito, so I consider them to be
conspecific. Moreover, the true T. separata Rd. from
Europe, recently redescribed by Merz[ 1992] has the tergal
ratio of tergosternum 7 1.5 times longer than in T. okera,
and different shape of aculeus apex. In this respect I
cannot consider this species to be a senior synonym of T.
okera, and resurrect the latter from synonymy. T. okera
has the aculeus apex deeply incised apically, as in T.
m ariannae Merz which is associated with L eon to do n
hisp idu s in Switzerland. It somewhat differs from the
latter species in the wing pattern by lacking the hyaline
spot in pterostigma (except one female from Kunashir)
and by some other details. A few specimens of T. okera do
not differ from T. m ariannae conspicuously, and further
study is required to clarify the relationships between these
species.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. Am urskaya oblast: Klimoutsy,
13,24.09.1958, 2 cfcf (G.Zinovjev) (ZISP).
An occasionally introduced species, previously re
corded only from Europe. Associated with C arduus
thistles.
Group of genera allied to T r u p a n e a
This group is represented in the Palaearctic East Asia
by some species of subcosmopolitan genus T rupanea
Schrank (most of the New World species need re
examination of their generic position), and three more
species of U relliosom a (A llo cra sp ed a ) V. Richter and
Donara V.Richter, the latter two are restricted to
Transbaikalia, Mongolia, and China (Kansu).

REMARKS. Wing patterns of both the mainland
specimens and of the specimens from Kurile Islands are rather
variable and also sexually dimorphic. Males are very similar
to the type specimens ofT. g uttistella and females correspond
to T. collina. The specimens from southern Primorskiy Kray
more often have wing pattern with the hyaline spots between
the rays in cell M (= Cp2) partially or completely confluent,
as it was figured in the monograph on Japanese tephritids
[Ito, 1984: Figs 374-375].
