Genus Anthomyza Fallén, 1810

No species of this largely Holarctic genus has previously been recorded from Taiwan. However, the genus is probably well represented, particularly in montane areas of the country. Interestingly, of the 6 species recorded below, only A. robusta belongs to the A. bellatrix group, while as many as five species belong to the A. flavosterna group (established here below). The species richness of the latter group in Taiwan is peculiar inasmuch as this group otherwise only includes the E. Palaearctic species A. flavosterna Sueyoshi & Roháček, 2003 . Because of their occurrence in high-montane habitats, it is highly probable that most or even all these newly reported species are endemic to Taiwan. If this proves to be true then the A. flavosterna group could have its centre of diversity on this island.
