Asyntactus Marshall 1898

Description

Asyntactus Marshall, 1898

Asyntactus Marshall, 1898: 240; Shenefelt, 1974: 982; Tobias, 1986: 157; Belokobylskij & Kostromina, 2011: 90; Yu et al., 2012.

Type species: Asyntactus rhogaleus Marshall, 1898.

This is rare monotypic Western Palaearctic genus of the tribe Alysiini which is recorded in several Western European countries (Yu et al., 2012) and only recently (Belokobylskij & Kostromina, 2011) was found in the Central Urals. Study of a large amount of material from the local population allowed us to discover significant variation of sculpture and colouration in A. rhagoleus Marshall, 1898, and as result we synonymized Asyntactus sigalphoides Marshall, 1898 with the type species of this genus (Belokobylskij & Kostromina, 2011). The agromyzid fly Selachops flavocinctus Wahlberg, 1844 is host record for this genus for the first time.
