This small family formerly included the peculiar genus Australimyza,
treated here as a distinct family, Australimyzidae. A lone specimen of the
carnid genus Meoneura, in the Malloch Collection, lacks locality
data but is presumed to be from New Zealand because it had been identified
by Hutton and by Tonnoir. Hutton labeled the specimen "Borborus
empiricus Hut." now in Leptocera (Sphaeroceridae). Tonnoir
labeled it "Agromyzidae genus?", and Malloch labeled it "Meoneura
vagans Fallén" (although it appears nearer M. obscurella Fallén). The genus Meoneura, often associated with carrion
or excrement, is chiefly Holarctic, and the specimen was probably introduced.
