A review of the species of Cerodontha Rondani (Diptera: Agromyzidae) of Israel, with a new species of the subgenus Poemyza Hendel, 1931

Abstract

The Israeli species of Cerodontha Rondani are reviewed and C. (Poemyza) israelica n. sp. is described and illustrated. The following seven species are recorded from Israel for the first time: C. (Butomomyza) angulata (Loew, 1869), C. (Cerodontha) phragmitophila (Hering, 1935), C. (Dizygomyza) crassiseta (Strobl, 1900), C. (D.) luctuosa (Meigen, 1830), C. (D.) suturalis (Hendel, 1931), C. (Icteromyza) geniculata (Fallén, 1823), and C. (I.) roz­kosnyi Černý, 2007. A key for identification of the subgenera and species in Israel is provided.
