Description
Genus Muscina Robineau-Desvoidy
Diagnosis. Easily separated from other local genera of Muscidae by the following combination of characters: Robust, dark-bodied muscid flies; tip of scutellum reddish to yellow; arista plumose; anepimeron bare; vein M1+2 curved forward distally. See Vikhrev & Esin (2013) for a revision of the Palaearctic species with richly illustrated descriptions of the species treated below.
The cosmotropical and widespread Macaronesian muscid Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Wulp) resembles a species of Muscina, but has a practically bare antennal arista.
