Extract

Further study, following submission for publication of the generic revision and species list (Frick, 1952), has resulted in changing the generic position of nine species, in making five synonymies, and in the addition of three subgenera and fifteen species to the list.

Malloch (1913, 1914) was reluctant to synonymize many North American species with European species due to the lack of positive identifications. Palaearctic species in the family Agromyzidae are now well defined as a result of the efforts of Hering, de Meijere, and Hendel (Hendel, 1931-1936). Therefore, the writer has not hesitated to snonymize North American species when there was an opporrunity to study specimens, including leaf mines as well as adults, of the species in question.
