Urophora Robineau-Desvoidy 1830
Creators
Description
Robineau-Desvoidy 1830: 769.
Type species: Musca cardui Linnaeus 1758 by designation of Westwood (1840).
Diagnosis. The most comprehensive concept of the genus and its detailed diagnosis were proposed by Freidberg & Norrbom (1999: 610), and are not repeated here.
Freidberg & Norrbom (1999) listed 57 species occurring almost exclusively in the Palaearctic Region, with one species described from Taiwan and several species introduced to North America and Australia as weed biocontrol agents. The same year, Korneyev & White (1999) reconsidered some synonymies. Later, Kütük (2006, 2009) and Mohamadzade Namin & Nozari (2011) described three additional species from Turkey and Iran. Before this study, 61 valid nominal species were recognized in the genus Urophora.
