Abstract

The Canadian fauna of the genus Amauromyza Hendel (Diptera: Agromyzidae) is revised and contains 11 species: Amauromyza abnormalis (Malloch), A. angulicornis Zlobin, A. flavifrons (Meigen), A. karli (Hendel), A. luteiceps (Hendel), A. nevadensis Spencer, A. pleuralis (Malloch), A. riparia Sehgal, A. scleritica Spencer, A. shepherdiae Sehgal, and A. subinfumata (Malloch). Among these, three species (A. luteiceps, A. nevadensis, and A. scleritica) are here newly recorded in Canada and A. angulicornis newly recorded in the United States of America. Other species are significantly more widespread in Canada than previously recorded. All species are redescribed and a new identification key to Canadian species is provided.

Résumé

La faune canadienne du genre Amauromyza Hendel (Diptera: Agromyzidae) est révisée et contient 11 espèces : Amauromyza abnormalis (Malloch), A. angulicornis Zlobin, A. flavifrons (Meigen), A. karli (Hendel), A. luteiceps (Hendel), A. nevadensis Spencer, A. pleuralis (Malloch), A. riparia Sehgal, A. scleritica Spencer, A. shepherdiae Sehgal et A. subinfumata (Malloch). Parmi celles-ci, trois espèces (A. luteiceps, A. nevadensis et A. scleritica) sont répertoriées pour la première fois au Canada et A. angulicornis est nouvellement répertoriée aux États-Unis. D'autres espèces se retrouvent beaucoup plus réparties à travers le Canada qu'elles ne l’étaient à l'origine. Toutes les espèces sont décrites à nouveau et une nouvelle clé d'identification des espèces canadiennes est donnée.
