Species

edit

The genus contains seven species, all originally from Mesorhaga:[1]

Four further species of Amesorhaga, all extinct, were described from Baltic amber by Negrobov and Selivanova in 2003: A. bickeli, A. longicerca, A. quadrispinosa and A. vladimiri. These have since been moved to the extinct genus Wheelerenomyia by Igor Grichanov in 2008.[7]
