Pegomyia marginata Huckett, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, lxv, p. 7, 1939.
The male of marginata may be distinguished by the pronounced lamellate fold extending from inner margin of processes mesad and by the accompanying series of slender setulae from base to apex. This type of process is also present in the european species strigipes (Zetterstedt). The female of marginata has the palpi enlarged and flattened, cruciate bristles absent, caudal pair of ocellar bristles short and directed forward, and m-cu cross vein erect. The scutellum is entirely blackish in both sexes.
