Abstract

The genus Tronamyia is described in the tribe Lipochaetini (subfamily Gymnomyzinae) with Asmeringa lindsleyi Sturtevant & Wheeler (new combination) as its type species. The type species had previously been listed as an unplaced species in the tribe Atissini (subfamily Hydrelliinae). In a phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Lipochaetini, Tronamyia is the sister group of Lipochaeta Coquillett, a genus that also occurs along maritime beaches or inland saline or alkaline playas of the New World.
