Abstract
Lauxaniids are a species rich group of acalyptrate flies, with most species known from the tropics. Several genera are in suspicion of non-monophyly, but no phylogenetic analysis has been carried out. Three markers (28S rRNA, 16S rRNA and EF 1-α) were employed to analyze relationships of 66 European lauxaniids, including 9 sequences from GenBank. The data was analysed using the Bayesian and maximum parsimony approach. GenusSapromyzaappears in three distinct clades, confirming the expected non-monophyly. New combinations are proposed for the following species:Homoneura muscaria, comb. n.,Paralauxania albicepscomb. n.,Nannomyza basaliscomb. n.,Nannomyza takagiicomb. n. Along with the analysis,Sapromyza slovacasp. n. is described. The type material has been deposited in the Institute of zoology, Slovak Academy of Sciences.
