Small to large flies (length 5–16 mm), usually slender, dull yellowish brown or metallic purplish or greenish blue (Figs 3–14). Head large, wider than thorax, separated from thorax by the well-developed, anteriorly produced antepronotum; occiput strongly concave; eyes usually superficially appearing as bare, with short, relatively sparse hair-like setae visible under higher magnification, occasionally dense, holoptic or narrowly dichoptic in males, dichoptic in females, ommatidia slightly wider anteriorly, with or without distinct demarcation of change in dorsoventral size; ocellar triangle prominent. Males with upper frons narrow, triangular; lower frons diverging or converging ventrally at margins, occasionally bulbous and anteriorly produced; females with narrow to wide frons (index 1.4–4.8), margins parallel-sided or converging ventrally. Face narrow to wide, rounded and not visible in profile, or with a small, anteroventrally produced, beak-like protuberance that is narrowly visible in profile, usually with a well-defined horizontal impression separating face from ventrally receding oral margins, with two distinct, tentorial pits visible at lateral margins below horizontal impression. Antennae inserted below middle of head, short (equal to length of head) or long (exceeding length of head), scape cylindrical and apically expanded, pedicel sometimes expanded apically on inner surface, flagellum with five flagellomeres, first four flagellomeres compact, rounded and laterally compressed to form an ovoid basal complex, apical margin usually with short, dense, hair-like setae, apical flagellomere aristate, arising anterodorsally from basal complex, usually with two prominent, moderately long, basal hair-like setae. Palpi short, two-segmented, second segment ovoid, often obscured within oral cavity. Proboscis short, labella fleshy. Scutum elongate and slender, about 1.1–1.2 times as long as wide, cuticular surface convex, shining, yellowish brown or strongly metallic bluish purple or greenish, hair-like setae usually dense; scutellum slightly raised or in same plane as scutum, short, about 0.4–0.5 times as long as wide, rounded to almost triangular, posteromedially pointed, unarmed, with hair-like setae; mediotergite well-developed, rounded, subshining, visible in both dorsal and lateral views, usually with some hair-like setae. Legs slender, without significant modification. Wings usually hyaline, occasionally infuscated with brown, set with microtrichia; R 2+3 arising proximal or distal to r-m; R 4 always present; four medial veins strong or faint, terminating before or reaching margin, and issued from discal cell, m-cu usually connected to M 4 and separated from discal cell by dM 3+4, occasionally connected to discal cell; post-tegula present, with small dorsal tuft of hair-like setae; lower calypter with or without small membranous strap-like lobe at base of wings. Abdomen yellowish brown or metallic bluish purple or green, ovoid (about 1.2–1.4 times as long as wide) or elongate and slender (about 2–3 times as long as wide), with 5 large, well-defined tergites, usually with dense hair-like setae. Females with two segmented cerci.</p> <p>Remarks. Closely related to the Hermetiinae and Chrysochlorininae, sharing the posterior surface of the head being concave, elongation of the antepronotum, and unarmed scutellum, but distinguished by the combination of the following characters: antennae with five flagellomeres, the apical flagellomere being aristate; wings with M 4 issued separately from discal cell by having m-cu connected to M 4.</p> <p>Included genera. There are currently five Sarginae genera recognized from Australia: Ptecticus Loew, 1855 (cosmopolitan), Sargus Fabricius, 1798 (cosmopolitan), and the newly recorded genera Formosargus James, 1939 (also Oriental), Cephalochrysa Kertész, 1912 (cosmopolitan) and Microchrysa Loew, 1855 (cosmopolitan) (Woodley, 2001).</p> <p>Australian distribution of Sarginae.

Type species Sargus hovas Bigot, 1859, by original designation. See Woodley (2001: 186) for full synonymy.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Moderately sized (length 7 mm), metallic purplish blue flies, with the occiput well-developed dorsally in females, and ocelli in the form of an equilateral triangle. Regarding the Australian fauna, it is most similar to Microchrysa, but can be distinguished by the: larger size; head dorsoventrally compressed in anterior view, about 0.6 times as high as wide; lower frons with a distinct triangular callus diverging ventrally towards base of antennae; basal complex of antennal flagellum somewhat large; and more strongly developed veins M 2, M 3, and M 4.</p> <p>Distribution. Bathurst Island, NT, new distribution (Fig. 2).</p> <p>Remarks. Sargus gselli Hill, 1919 is congeneric with Cephalochrysa, sharing the following: head being much wider than high, ocelli forming an equilateral triangle and occiput without a posteriorly projecting fringe of hair-like setae. The general appearance of S. gselli is extremely similar to other species of Cephalochrysa known from Pacific islands, as well as the type species.

Paratype ♀, same data as holotype: “ PARATYPE ♀ / Formosargus melanogrammus / Lessard &amp; Woodley, 2020 ” AMS K.478682. The specimen is in excellent condition.</p> <p>Diagnosis. A small (length 5–7 mm), pale yellowish brown species, with frons wide, parallel-sided, upper half black and lower half pale yellowish cream in the females, and thorax with a distinct dark brownish black medial stripe. It can be distinguished from Formosargus kerteszi James, 1939, by the wings with R 2+3 arising directly in line with crossvein r-m (distinctly proximal in F. kerteszi), antennal flagellum with a more rounded apical margin of the basal complex and larger fourth flagellomere, scutum and scutellum with a relatively weakly defined black medial stripe (sharply delineated in F. kerteszi), and entirely yellowish pleura (a black spot is present on the anepisternum near the notopleural suture in F. kerteszi). Formosargus melanogrammus is extremely similar to F. lineata, differing mainly by having the scutal vitta widened posteriorly and occupying more than one-third of the width of the scutellum (narrower and more sharply defined in F. lineata, occupying one-fourth or less of the width of the scutellum). Regarding the Australian sargines, it could possibly be confused with Ptecticus, but can be readily distinguished by the generic characters.</p> <p>Description. Male. Unknown.</p> <p>Female. Length 5–7 mm. Head. Rectangular in dorsal view, about 0.4 times as long as wide. Eyes dichoptic, ommatidia uniform in size. Frons wide (index 1.4–1.5), margins parallel-sided, cuticular surface shining, upper half black, slightly raised medially with a linear pale yellowish marking, bare, with moderately long, dense, hair-like setae at lateral margins, lower half pale yellowish cream, cuticular surface relatively convex, bare; ocellar tubercle black, ocelli in the form of an equilateral triangle, hair-like setae moderately long and dense, golden yellow. Occiput not visible in lateral view, occipital plate covered in moderately long, dense, golden yellow hair-like setae. Face with cuticular surface shining, with some sparse, moderately long, hair-like setae at lower margins, oral margin with dense, relatively short, golden yellow hair-like setae. Antennae long, scape+pedicel+flagellum about 1.6 times as long as head, pedicel about 0.4 times as long as scape at outer surface, apically expanded and evenly rounded on inner surface, both segments pale yellow, with short, golden brown hair-like setae; flagellum about 1.8 times as long as scape+pedicel, basal complex yellow, apical margin covered with short, relatively dense, yellowish hair-like setae, apical flagellomere long, about 3 times as long as scape+pedicel. Palpi yellow, with tomentum. Proboscis yellowish, with moderately long, dense, yellowish hair-like setae.</p> <p>Thorax. Scutum pale yellowish brown, with a distinct dark brownish black medial line, hair-like setae moderately long, dense, erect, golden yellow, becoming darker brown dorsomedially; scutellum in same plane as scutum, dark brownish black on more than medial third, pale yellowish brown at lateral margins, hair-like setae moderately long, brown, more yellowish at margins; mediotergite same colour as scutum, with relatively long, erect, golden hair-like setae; pleura pale yellow, shining, hair-like setae relatively long, sparse, golden yellow. Legs pale yellow with yellowish hair-like setae. Wings hyaline; discal cell elongate, about 1.5 times as long as wide; all four medial veins issued from discal cell, terminating just before margin; CuA curved; alula about 6 times as long as wide, surface bare of microtrichia, marginal hair-like setae about equal to width of alula; posttegula with small dorsal tuft of dense, orangey yellow hair-like setae.</p> <p>Abdomen. Elongate ovoid, about 1.2 times as long as wide, widest at tergite 4, yellowish brown, with darker brown infuscation becoming more prominent from tergites 3 onwards, hair-like setae relative long, dense, appressed golden yellow, becoming longer and more erect at lateral margins. Sternites pale yellowish brown, hair-like setae relatively long, appressed, golden yellow. Terminalia cuticular surface and hair-like setae yellowish brown, cerci with both segments about equal in length, second segment parallel-sided and tapering apically.</p> <p>Distribution. Known only from the type locality of Kutini- Payamu (Iron Range) NP, northern Qld (Fig. 2).</p> <p>Etymology. This specific name is derived from the Greek, melan, black, and gramme, line, referring to the distinctive black medial stripe on the scutum.</p> <p>Remarks. The face is slightly anteroventrally produced to form a beak-like protuberance, similar to Hermetia Latreille, 1804, but not as distinct.</p> <p>This species is very similar to F. lineata (New Guinea), differing mainly in the form of the thoracic vitta. Unfortunately, the wings in the holotype female of F. lineata are mostly destroyed, so comparisons of wing characters cannot be made. Also, only females are known for both species so male terminalia characters are also unavailable.</p> <p><a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=143.285&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-12.72611" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 143.285/lat -12.72611)">One</a> additional specimen from the <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=143.285&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-12.72611" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 143.285/lat -12.72611)">Mt Lamond</a> track (♀, “beginning of <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=143.285&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-12.72611" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 143.285/lat -12.72611)">Mt Lamond</a> track / Iron Range Nat.

Daniels (1979: 565, revision of Australian species).</p> <p>Diagnosis. Medium to large (length 8–16 mm), slender, yellow to orange brown flies, similar to Sargus, but distinguished by the: antennal scape strongly, more or less triangularly produced into flagellar complex on inner side (e.g., Fig. 10d); wings with R 2+3 arising proximal to r-m; lower calypter without strap-like lobe; and usually not strongly metallic in colouration (only one species, Ptecticus longipes (Walker, 1861), new record, is semi-metallic: Figs 7, 8). Regarding the Australian fauna, the genus is most similar to Formosargus, but can be distinguished by the: upper frons converging ventrally in females; face evenly rounded in profile view; wings with M 1 and M 3 well developed, M 4 separated from discal cell at least slightly; and alula large and apically expanded.</p> <p>Distribution.

Type species Musca cupraria Linnaeus, 1758, Europe, [LSL], by designation of Latreille (1810: 442). See Woodley (2001: 220) for full synonymy. Hardy (1918: 11, 1920: 48, 1932: 47); White (1916: 94).</p> <p>Diagnosis. Small to medium sized (length 6–12 mm), slender, elongate species, with strong metallic colouration and occiput with a prominent fringe of posteriorly directed hair-like setae. Similar to Ptecticus, but distinguished by the: anterior ocellus farther from posterior ocelli than they are from each other, forming an elongated triangle; wings with vein R 2+3 arising distal to r-m; lower calypter with strap-like lobe present; and strong metallic colouration.</p> <p>Distribution. Far northern Qld to central coast of NSW (Fig. 2).</p> <p>Remarks. With the transfer of C. gselli from Sargus to Cephalochrysa, there are now three recognized species of Sargus from Australia. According to White (1916), Sargus was previously unrecorded from Australia at the time, with Sargus meridionalis White, 1916 being the first species recognized from the continent. This was reinforced by Hill (1919: 460) in his description of S. gselli (= C. gselli), stating that Sargus “has been known in Australia by only one described species, S. meridionalis White. There are one or two additional species… from North Queensland (Kuranda)”. Hardy (1932) later described the second species in the genus from Australia, Sargus darius Hardy, 1932, including a paratype from Kuranda, which is presumably the additional species referred to by Hill.</p> <p>It is possible that species names applied to the Australian fauna are erroneous, such as Sargus mactans Walker, 1859 (originally described from Indonesia), which has been used for specimens from Queensland. In a review of the Oriental Stratiomyidae, Brunetti (1923: 157) identified specimens of S. mactans deposited in the BMNH from “North Queensland ”. This Australian record was adopted by some workers (Hauser &amp; Rozkošný, 1999: 13; Woodley, 2001: 226), however, S. mactans was not acknowledged by Hardy (1932) and the name has not been applied to material deposited in most Australian collections. Moreover, it seems unlikely that the southeast Asian fauna have travelled east of the Wallace Line. The identify of S. mactans from Australia has been made further complicated by the damaged type specimen from the BMNH (head and left with missing; Fig. 11), in addition to the lack of available key to species and authoritatively identified collection specimens. Therefore, we tentatively retain S. mactans as part of the Australian fauna until a much needed species-level revision can be completed for Sargus from the Oriental and Australian regions.</p> <p>Biology. According to James (1960), adults from the Nearctic are commonly found flying near or resting on leaves in sunlight, and visiting flowers such as Sedum (stonecrop, Crassulaceae), Isocoma vernonoides (goldenbush, Asteraceae), and Sambucus coetulea (elderberry, Adoxaceae), whereas the larvae breed in decaying vegetation, including leaves, turnip roots, and/or mammal excrement. Regarding the Australian species, S. meridionalis seems to decompose organic waste since it has been bred from human faeces [ANIC 29-037454, 29-037455].</p> <p>Catalogue of Australian species</p> <p>Genus Sargus Fabricius, 1798</p> <p>darius Hardy, 1932.
