( Fig. 67 )

Pteromicra Lioy, 1864: 1012 . Type species: Sciomyza glabricula Fallén, 1820 (monotypy).

Dichrochira Hendel, 1901: 199 . Type species: Sciomyza glabricula Fallén, 1820 (by designation of Steyskal, 1965).

Diagnosis. Small species with dark brown to shining black or black and yellow body. Anterior orbital seta often short or missing, gena narrow. Frons entirely shining. Propleural seta rather weak but distinct. Wing hyaline, narrowed in some species. For additional details see Rozkošný (1987).

Remarks. Of the 18 known species, 6 are Palearctic, and only 1 of them, Pteromicra leucodactyla (Hendel, 1913) [= Hendel, 1913b], is known from the Oriental Region; it also is the only species of Pteromicra recorded from China ( Knutson 1977). The type locality of P. leucodactyla is Taiwan. We did not find any additional specimens of Pteromicra leucodactyla during our study.
