(SMOC, genit. prep., Sabrosky det. as A. tenuis ). Diagnosis. Male 2.10–2.70 mm, female 2.38–3.18 mm. Bicolourous (Figs 108, 146–148), dark brown and yellow, sparsely grey microtomentose and distinctly shining. Head dark brown with face, parafacialia, gena, postgena, ventral margin of occiput, mouthparts, entire haltere, frons and antennae and all legs largely contrasting ochreous, yellow or whitish yellow. Pleural area of thorax also extensively ochreous to yellow, at least on ventral half; notopleuron and humerus may also be paler than surrounding notum; preabdominal sterna brown in male, pale yellow in female. Frontal triangle reaching anterior fourth of frons. Mid and hind basitarsus without short thickened setae. T1 (usually paler) and T2 almost separate, only laterally partly fused. Wing hyaline (Fig. 127). Male genitalia (see Figs 150–156 for details). Epandrium (Figs 150, 151) blackish brown, higher than long. Gonostylus (Figs 150, 151, 156) ochreous to yellow, markedly different from that of both A. acuticuspis and A. bivittata , small, relatively narrow and posteriorly bent in lateral view, with broadly rounded apex, somewhat also bent medially (Fig. 150). Female postabdomen and genitalia (see Figs 157–163 for details). T7 and S7 completely fused to form annular tergosternum T7+S7 (Figs 158, 159); anteroventrally with a long, dark, transverse ledge-like anterior submarginal band (Fig. 159). Ventral receptacle (Figs 162, 163) slender and elongate, similar to those of close relatives, with middle part curved and distinctly ringed, long terminal part slender, plain and straighter but its apex twisted. Spermathecae (1+1) pyriform (Fig. 157), most resembling those of A. acuticuspis including darker constriction in proximal third and surface structure in distal two-thirds, but more elongate and with spines in basal part more transversely arranged; duct with cervix as in the latter species. Discussion. Although more externally resembling Arganthomyza acuticuspis , A. duplex appears to be a sister species of A. bivittata despite a marked colour dissimilarity, demonstrated by molecular data (ROHÁĆEK & TÓTHOVÁ 2014: Fig. 1) and two synapomorphies: the pale-pigmented female S2–S6; the gonostylus with the apex bent medially (cf. ROHÁĆEK & BARBER 2013: Fig. 173). Among Arganthomyza species, A. duplex is readily distinguished by its bicolourous pleura (dark dorsally, pale ventrally), characteristic gonostylus (bent posteriorly) and sexually dichroic colouration of the preabdominal sterna (brown in male, pale yellow in female) (see also the key above). However, there is externally a very similar species of the Anthomyza macra group in North America, viz. A. silvatica sp. nov. This species usually differs from A. duplex by the reduced subvibrissa, the short setula in front of the anterior orbital seta, and paler pigmentation of the apical tarsal segments, but it is recommended always to verify its identincation by examining male and female genitalic characters. Biology. Four Nearctic species of Arganthomyza are often found together in eastern North America in at least pairs of species usually involving the more common A. duplex and A. vittipennis . Three sites in Ontario: Sault Ste. Marie are known to have yielded all four species (Baseline Rd., Birchwood Pk., and Bristol Place Pk.) while two other localities (viz., Ontario: Icewater Creek watershed and Moosonee) have yielded all but A. vittipennis . Most eastern collections of Arganthomyza duplex with habitat data suggest relatively mesic mixed forest (often dominated by aspen, Populus tremuloides Michx., in Ontario) with thick and diverse ground vegetation (Fig. 69). This understory usually includes a wide variety of plant species and can be variously dominated by a few. The authors have suspected that ferns (Fig. 149) may be at least an indicator of potential habitat but their role as host plants has not been evaluated. Northwestern records suggest a preference for more open habitat such as grasses (Alberta: Dunvegan and Cadomin) and also pine forest (Yukon: Carcross), while some collections have been made in habitats not including ferns in the immediate vicinity (Alberta: Westlock Co.; Ontario: Moosonee). Adult nies have been collected from 9 April (British Columbia: Robson) to 21–28 September (Utah: Tony Grove Jct.). Distribution. This is the most commonly collected and widely distributed species of Arganthomyza in North America and is transcontinental in both Canada and the northern United States – in Canada, from British Columbia and Yukon to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Yukon) and the United States of America, from Alaska, Washington and Idaho to New Mexico, New Hampshire and New York (Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming), (ROHÁĆEK & BARBER 2013, see Table 2). At least some of the most southwestern specimens have been taken at altitudes above 9000 feet [= 2743 m] (Colorado, New Mexico, Utah). : Published as part of Roháćek, Jindřich & Barber, Kevin N., 2016, Nearctic Anthomyzidae: a monograph of Anthomyza and allied genera (Diptera), pp. 1-412 in Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae (suppl.)

(SMOC, genit. prep., Sabrosky det. as A. tenuis ). Diagnosis. Male 2.10–2.70 mm, female 2.38–3.18 mm. Bicolourous (Figs 108, 146–148), dark brown and yellow, sparsely grey microtomentose and distinctly shining. Head dark brown with face, parafacialia, gena, postgena, ventral margin of occiput, mouthparts, entire haltere, frons and antennae and all legs largely contrasting ochreous, yellow or whitish yellow. Pleural area of thorax also extensively ochreous to yellow, at least on ventral half; notopleuron and humerus may also be paler than surrounding notum; preabdominal sterna brown in male, pale yellow in female. Frontal triangle reaching anterior fourth of frons. Mid and hind basitarsus without short thickened setae. T1 (usually paler) and T2 almost separate, only laterally partly fused. Wing hyaline (Fig. 127). Male genitalia (see Figs 150–156 for details). Epandrium (Figs 150, 151) blackish brown, higher than long. Gonostylus (Figs 150, 151, 156) ochreous to yellow, markedly different from that of both A. acuticuspis and A. bivittata , small, relatively narrow and posteriorly bent in lateral view, with broadly rounded apex, somewhat also bent medially (Fig. 150). Female postabdomen and genitalia (see Figs 157–163 for details). T7 and S7 completely fused to form annular tergosternum T7+S7 (Figs 158, 159); anteroventrally with a long, dark, transverse ledge-like anterior submarginal band (Fig. 159). Ventral receptacle (Figs 162, 163) slender and elongate, similar to those of close relatives, with middle part curved and distinctly ringed, long terminal part slender, plain and straighter but its apex twisted. Spermathecae (1+1) pyriform (Fig. 157), most resembling those of A. acuticuspis including darker constriction in proximal third and surface structure in distal two-thirds, but more elongate and with spines in basal part more transversely arranged; duct with cervix as in the latter species. Discussion. Although more externally resembling Arganthomyza acuticuspis , A. duplex appears to be a sister species of A. bivittata despite a marked colour dissimilarity, demonstrated by molecular data (ROHÁĆEK & TÓTHOVÁ 2014: Fig. 1) and two synapomorphies: the pale-pigmented female S2–S6; the gonostylus with the apex bent medially (cf. ROHÁĆEK & BARBER 2013: Fig. 173). Among Arganthomyza species, A. duplex is readily distinguished by its bicolourous pleura (dark dorsally, pale ventrally), characteristic gonostylus (bent posteriorly) and sexually dichroic colouration of the preabdominal sterna (brown in male, pale yellow in female) (see also the key above). However, there is externally a very similar species of the Anthomyza macra group in North America, viz. A. silvatica sp. nov. This species usually differs from A. duplex by the reduced subvibrissa, the short setula in front of the anterior orbital seta, and paler pigmentation of the apical tarsal segments, but it is recommended always to verify its identincation by examining male and female genitalic characters. Biology. Four Nearctic species of Arganthomyza are often found together in eastern North America in at least pairs of species usually involving the more common A. duplex and A. vittipennis . Three sites in Ontario: Sault Ste. Marie are known to have yielded all four species (Baseline Rd., Birchwood Pk., and Bristol Place Pk.) while two other localities (viz., Ontario: Icewater Creek watershed and Moosonee) have yielded all but A. vittipennis . Most eastern collections of Arganthomyza duplex with habitat data suggest relatively mesic mixed forest (often dominated by aspen, Populus tremuloides Michx., in Ontario) with thick and diverse ground vegetation (Fig. 69). This understory usually includes a wide variety of plant species and can be variously dominated by a few. The authors have suspected that ferns (Fig. 149) may be at least an indicator of potential habitat but their role as host plants has not been evaluated. Northwestern records suggest a preference for more open habitat such as grasses (Alberta: Dunvegan and Cadomin) and also pine forest (Yukon: Carcross), while some collections have been made in habitats not including ferns in the immediate vicinity (Alberta: Westlock Co.; Ontario: Moosonee). Adult nies have been collected from 9 April (British Columbia: Robson) to 21–28 September (Utah: Tony Grove Jct.). Distribution. This is the most commonly collected and widely distributed species of Arganthomyza in North America and is transcontinental in both Canada and the northern United States – in Canada, from British Columbia and Yukon to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Yukon) and the United States of America, from Alaska, Washington and Idaho to New Mexico, New Hampshire and New York (Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming), (ROHÁĆEK & BARBER 2013, see Table 2). At least some of the most southwestern specimens have been taken at altitudes above 9000 feet [= 2743 m] (Colorado, New Mexico, Utah). : Published as part of Roháćek, Jindřich & Barber, Kevin N., 2016, Nearctic Anthomyzidae: a monograph of Anthomyza and allied genera (Diptera), pp. 1-412 in Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae (suppl.)
