Genus Epischnomyia Roháček, 2006

This exclusively E. Palaearctic genus includes 3 named species, two of which are recorded below. The remaining species, E. tkoci Roháček, 2018 , is known only from the male holotype collected in China (Sichuan) (RඈIJගඹൾκ 2018). Epischnomyia is a small E. Asian group of variegated ( Figs 51, 52 ) and morphologically aberrant species which is closely allied to Anthomyza . A recent molecular phylogenetic hypothesis even suggests it could be a lineage within the latter genus (RඈIJගඹൾκ et al. 2019).
