Abstract

The second part of the paper considers the position of the genus Meromyza Meigen, 1830 in the system of the family Chloropidae, its intrageneric classification, species synonymy, food plants, habitat preferences, geographic distribution of its species, and the faunas of some regions in the Palaearctic. A list of literature is provided.
