Tomomyza Wiedemann

Bezzi (1922) noted that European species referred by authors to Tomomyza are in fact species of Stomylomyia Bigot and that true Tomomyza spp. are all southern African. Bezzi’s manuscript contains a note on the genus setting out the differences between the two genera. He then wrote a full description of Tomomyza and appended a key to species, which was published in Bezzi (1922). Hesse (1956), noting that no comprehensive description of the genus had been published hitherto, provided a fully illustrated description.
