Abstract
Ten aquatic species of Megaselia Rondani (1856) are reported from the internodes of the large bamboo Guadua angustifolia var. chacoensis in Bolivia. Megaselia aquatica sp. n., and M. imitatrix Borgmeier (1969) are named and seven species given code letters as their males remain unknown. Five of these species closely resemble the distinctive M. imitatrix. The eggs of species C, in addition to a subterminal plastron, uniquely have the rest of the egg covered in fine hairs. Three additional Megaselia species reported from bamboo or other phytotelms in the Americas, Megaselia hansonix Disney (2009), M. rufipes (Meigen) (1804) and M. scalaris (Loew) (1866) are illustrated. A key for Megaselia from the Americas reported from aquatic situations is presented.
期刊介绍：
Fragmenta entomologica is devoted to publishing high quality papers dealing with Arthropod biodiversity. It publishes research articles, short scientific notes, reviews articles, comments and editorials. The core scope of the journal includes Taxonomy, Systematics, Molecular phylogeny, Morphology, Paleontology, Biodiversity, Biogeography, Evolutionary biology, Conservation biology, Ecology, Ethology and Applied Entomology, and embraces all terrestrial, freshwater and brackish water Arthropods. Merely faunistic papers might be considered for publication only in the following cases: papers including relevant and significant new data emphasizing the conservation priority of rare, protected or endangered arthropods and their habitats; papers concerning with important newly introduced pest species; papers concerning with very poorly known geographic areas from scarcely investigated countries.
