Description

Selachops Wahlberg, 1844

Selachops Wahlberg, 1844: 67; Hendel, 1920: 115; 1936: 514; Spencer, 1969: 12; 1976: 146; Zlobin, 1983: 46. Encoelocera Loew, 1844: 321.

Type species: Selachops flavocinctus Wahlberg, 1844, by monotypy.

This is rare Palaearctic genus of agromyzid subfamily Phytomyzinae type species of which, S. flavocinctus Wahlberg, 1844, was recorded in several European countries (Zlobin 1983). Two additional species, S. relicta Zlobin, 1983 and S. intiba Zlobin, 1983, were described from the Russian Far East. Sedge species, Carex acuta Linnaeus, 1753 (= C. gracilis Curtis, 1782), was recorded as host plant for this Agromyzidae genus in an unpublished dissertation by Dempewolf (2001). This host plant by S. flavocinctus is here published for the first time.
