Information on the three previously described species of Halocoryza Alluaud is updated and a new species for the genus from Isla Carmen, Sea of Cortés, Baja California Sur, México is described. Halocoryza whiteheadianasp. n. was found at UV light on a beach of that island. This species does not fit the profile of the other three species, i.e., living on coralline beach sands, or in the Mangrove intertidal zone. Two alternative possibilities as to why this is so are suggested and a study plan for testing these possibilities is proposed.
对之前描述的三种阿卢奥氏盐蝇属（Halocoryza Alluaud）物种的信息进行了更新，并描述了一种来自墨西哥南下加利福尼亚州科尔特斯海卡门岛的该属新物种。白头阿卢奥氏盐蝇（Halocoryza whiteheadianasp. n.）是在该岛海滩的紫外线下发现的。该物种不符合其他三个物种的特征，即生活在珊瑚沙滩或红树林潮间带。文中提出了关于为何如此的两种可能原因，并提出了一个测试这些可能性的研究计划。
