Teratomyza Malloch, 1933

( Figs 9–31 , 111 )

Type species. Teratomyza neozelandica Malloch, 1933: 113 , orig. des.

Diagnosis. Vertical callus not developed on head. One pair of katepisternal setae. Wing unicolorous. Vein R2+3 not approximated to costa (not even its middle section). Male subepandrial sclerite ( Figs 10, 12 ) consists of two parts: the more ventral part is rather membranous broad U-shaped structure below epandrium, between caudal edges of surstyli, touching also bases of cerci; the more dorsal part is broadly bifid. Surstylus ( Figs 11, 13 ) long with less broad base and without short thick blunt black teeth (pegs). Female sternite 8 ( Figs 28, 30 ) broader than long with 2 pairs of long lateral caudal setae. Sclerotised duct of spermatheca thin and at least as long as spermatheca ( Figs 29, 31 ).
