Description

Carpomya group of genera

Norrbom (1997) ran a cladistic analysis of the species of Carpomya, Myiopardalis, and Goniglossum that were available at the time of his publication, plus tica, his newly-described species that he assigned to Carpomya, but here is placed in a new genus. I consider all these species, as well as the new species of Goniglossum, as constituting a monophyletic group within the Carpomyina, equivalent to Carpomya sensu Norrbom, and here informally named the Carpomya group of genera.

As conceived here, the six species comprising the Carpomya group of genera are all Old-World species, while tica is a New-World taxon. Most of the remaining genera listed under Carpomyina are strictly New-World taxa, whereas Rhagoletis, the largest genus in the subtribe (with 73 species out of a total of 112), occurs in both hemispheres.
