Genus Rhogadopsis Brèthes, 1913

Rhogadopsis Brèthes, 1913: 44; Shenefelt 1975: 1212; Wharton 1987: 66 (as subgenus Lissosema). Type species (by monotypy): Rhogadopsis miniacea Brèthes, 1913.

Lissosema Fischer, 1972: 359. Type species (by original designation): Opius parvungula Thomson, 1895 (= Opius reconditor Wesmael, 1835; Broad et al. 2016: 291).

Diagnosis.

Propodeum with a distinct (but often short) medio-longitudinal carina anteriorly (Figs 5 , 11 , 34 ); hypoclypeal depression variable; mandible symmetrical or nearly so (Figs 7 , 8 , 19 , 32 ); dorsope absent; vein m-cu of fore wing usually gradually merging into vein 2 - CU 1, and linear with vein 2 - M or nearly so (Fig. 14 ); if angled then hind wing comparatively wide, vein 1 r-m of hind wing less oblique and 0.6–1.0 × as long as vein 1 - M (Figs 2 , 15 , 27 ); medio-posterior depression of mesoscutum variable (Figs 4 , 17 , 29 ); anterior groove of metapleuron usually crenulate (Figs 12 , 16 , 28 ); precoxal sulcus largely present, crenulate (Figs 12 , 16 , 28 ); vein CU 1 b of fore wing completely present (Figs 2 , 14 , 26 ).

Distribution.

Palaearctic, Oriental, Nearctic and Afrotropical regions.

Biology.

Parasitoids of mining dipterous larvae of the family Agromyzidae ( Agromyza Fallen, 1810 , Amauromyza Hendel, 1931 , Calycomyza Hendel, 1931 , Cerodontha Rondani, 1861 , Liriomyza Mik, 1894 , Metopomyza Enderlein, 1936 , Napomyza Westwood, 1840 , Phytomyza Fallen, 1810 ).
