Extract

The genus Apelma was erected by Kieffer (1919) for the inclusion of two European species, of which he had males only. The characters upon which he laid stress, and by which he separated the genus from Forcipomyia, were the length of the claws and the absence of an empodium. Nothing is known of the early stages of these two species. Subsequently, Ingram and Macfie (1923) described an African species from three males reared by Bacot from larvae in the leaf axils of Dracaena sp. The early stages of this species were not preserved.
