4.2.4 | Genus Incertella Sabrosky, 1980

Four of the five species assigned to the genus Incertella Sabrosky were initially grouped together in a single cluster. Although the cluster was flagged by LIT due to instability caused by the distance between I.albipalpis (Meigen) (Figure 5T1–2) and I. cf. zuercheri (Duda) (Figure 5S), the genetic distances between I.albipalpis (Figure 5T1–2), I.kerteszi (Becker) (Figure 5U1–2) and I.nigrifrons (Duda) (Figure 5V1–2) are minimal (0.32% threshold). For effectively splitting this cluster using morphology, the frons colour pattern and male cerci shape when available were used.
