ABSTRACT

ItatingamyiaAlbuquerque, 1979Albuquerque, D.O., 1979. Algumas notas sobre Muscidae neotropicais e descrição de um gênero e uma espécie nova (Diptera). Rev. Bras. Biol. 39, 323-326. is rare in collections, with only nine specimens preserved in museums. Two species are known, and their placement within Muscidae was never tested using molecular data. Here, we estimate the position of Itatingamyia within Muscidae with mitochondrial (COI) and nuclear (AATS, CAD, and EF1-α) markers using Maximum likelihood and Bayesian posterior probabilities as optimality criteria. According to our results, we propose to classify Itatingamyia as a Cyrtoneurininae. We also describe the previously unknown female and egg of Itatingamyia couriaeHaseyama and de Carvalho, 2011Haseyama, K.L.F., de Carvalho, C.J.B., 2011. A new species of the Neotropical genus Itatingamyia Albuquerque (Diptera: Muscidae). Zootaxa 2912, 61-65. and expand the known distribution of this species to the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, through the discovery of 13 new specimens there. We also argue that Itatingamyia distribution is restricted to Atlantic Forest areas.
