Gaalomyia, new genus

DIAGNOSIS: Palpi 3­segmented, short. Scutum with long lateral, dorsocentral, and acrostichal setae. Laterotergites bare. Sc ends at R. Base of fork of M 3+4 and CuA at the level of r­m base. M3 section approximately equal to r­m. Gonostyli simple.

TYPE SPECIES: Gaalomyia carolinae, n.sp.

ETYMOLOGY: The name is a feminine anagram of the genus name Aglaomyia .

COMMENTS: The new genus differs form Aglaomyia Vockeroth in having acrostichal setae present, palpi short, Sc ending at R basally of posterior fork, and 7th abdominal segment well developed. Palaeodocosia Meunier has palpi 4­segmented, vein Sc shorter, and the base of fork M 3+4 and CuA more proximal. Pseudalysiinia Tonnoir has palpi 4­segmented and incrassate, with no bristles on the thorax and legs, and tibial spurs short. The genus may be close to Ipsaneusidalys Blagoderov, 1998, especially I. longipennis, but the latter differs in having long fork of M 3+4 and CuA and M3 section, and R 5 is sinuous. Preservation of I. longipennis seems to be insufficient to decide if both species are congeneric.
