Abstract

Flies of the genus Atherigona spend their immature stages in decaying organic matter (species of the subgenus Acritochaeta) or in the young shoots of various Gramineae (species of the subgenus Atherigona). Descriptions are given of two and 12 new species in these two subgenera, respectively. Most of these species are from India, and are of actual or potential economic importance.
