The genus (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae, Asphondyliini, Schizomyiina) was erected by Kovalev (1964) based on the presence of constrictions on the cylindrical male flagellomeres. In the present study, we examine the morphological features of and and found that the male flagellomeres are constricted also in , the type species of . Because no further characters clearly separating from were observed, we synonymize under . Molecular phylogenetic analysis strongly supports our taxonomic treatment. We describe five new species of from Japan, Elsayed & Tokuda, , Elsayed & Tokuda, , Elsayed & Tokuda, , Elsayed & Tokuda, , and Elsayed & Tokuda, , and redescribe three species, Kieffer, Shinji, and Kovalev. A taxonomic key to the Japanese species is provided.
属(双翅目,瘿蚊科,Asphondyliini族,Schizomyiina亚族)由科瓦列夫(1964年)基于圆柱形雄性鞭节上存在缢缩而建立。在本研究中,我们检查了属和属的形态特征,发现属的模式种属中的雄性鞭节也有缢缩。由于未观察到将属与属明确区分的其他特征,我们将属作为属的同物异名。分子系统发育分析有力地支持了我们的分类处理。我们描述了来自日本的五个属新物种,即** Elsayed & Tokuda**、** Elsayed & Tokuda**、** Elsayed & Tokuda**、** Elsayed & Tokuda和 Elsayed & Tokuda**,并重新描述了三个物种,即** Kieffer**、** Shinji和 Kovalev**。提供了日本属物种的分类检索表。
