Genus Philophylla Rondani View in CoL View at ENA

Philophylla View in CoL is a large genus with nearly 57 described species from Oriental, Afrotropical, Australasian and Palaearctic Regions of the world, most of them having been treated under the genus Myoleja Rondani View in CoL ( Han, 1999b; Norrbom et al., 1999). Philophylla View in CoL is now placed in a different subtribe ( Trypetina View in CoL ) from Anomoia Walker View in CoL and Myoleja (Chetostomatina) View in CoL , which differs mainly in female postabdominal characters. It differs from Hoplandromyia (Trypetina) View in CoL in lacking modified frontal setae in males and infesting fruit rather than mining leaves. Philophylla View in CoL possesses a pair of strong lateral marginal setae on oviscape, lateral surstylus with broadly flattened anterior lobe and elongate posterior lobe ( Han, 1999b). Twenty six species are known from Oriental Region and six from India including the new species described here.
