Neurolyga Rondani, 1840 This Holarctic genus of previously 25 extant species was last revised by Jaschhof & Jaschhof (2009: 123 ff.) with a focus on Fennoscandia. Since then, our taxonomic inventory of the Micromyinae in Sweden has revealed another five unnamed Neurolyga , of which two are described here, while the rest must be shelved for the time being due to insufficient specimens. Neurolyga is a well-defined genus of the tribe Campylomyzini (Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2009: 123 f.). The diversity found in male genitalic structures was once used for subdividing the genus into several species groups (Jaschhof 1998), a practice later abandoned due to the discovery of species with intermediate character distributions (Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2009). The genus includes many rarely collected species, an observation corroborated by the two species described here. : Published as part of Jaschhof, Mathias & Jaschhof, Catrin, 2020, An update of Micromyinae (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) taxonomy, with descriptions of a new genus and 13 new species from Northern Europe, pp. 349-369 in Zootaxa 4750 (3) on page 360, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4750.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/3707458 : {"references": ["Jaschhof, M. & Jaschhof, C.
