Classification
Overview
Species of Gronotoma are parasitoids of Agromyzidae. Buffington (2002) provided a list of included species. This genus is mainly known from the New World and Africa, although species are known from the Pacific and the Philippines.
Identification
Gronotoma has been included in a key to world genera by Weld (1952), and keys to Hawaiian genera by Beardsley (1988; 1989). Quinlan (1986) included it in a key to Afrotropical genera and provided a revision of Afrotropical species; although he treated it under the name Eucoilidea. There is a need for a comprehensive, modern treatment of eucoiline genera.
