This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article El-Hawagry, Magdi S. (2017): Catalogue of Egyptian Tephritoidea (Diptera: Schizophora: Acalyptratae). Zootaxa 4299 (2): 151-190, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4299.2.1

Abstract

All known Egyptian taxa of the superfamily Tephritoidea are systematically catalogued. Synonymies, type localities, type depositories, world distributions by biogeographic realm(s) and country, Egyptian localities and dates of collection for Egyptian tephritoid species are provided. The known Egyptian host plants of phytophagous species are listed. A total number of 86 tephritoid species belonging to 48 genera, 15 tribes, 9 subfamilies, and representing 6 families has been catalogued. The treated families are: Lonchaeidae (lance flies), Piophilidae (skippers), Platystomatidae (signal flies), Pyrgotidae (pyrgotid flies), Tephritidae (fruit flies) and Ulidiidae (picture–winged flies).

Key words: Tephritoid flies, Egyptian taxa, world distribution, Egyptian localities, dates of collection, host plants.
