This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Korneyev, Severyn V., Hauser, Martin, Kameneva, Elena P., Gaimari, Stephen D. (2022): A key to species of the Euxesta sororcula species group (Diptera: Ulidiidae: Lipsanini), with new synonymy and a new record from the U. S. A. The Pan-Pacific Entomologist 98 (2): 150-162, DOI: 10.3956/2022-98.2.150, URL: doi.org/10.3956/2022-98.2.150 Abstract.

The Euxesta sororcula species group, which contains several pests of corn, is reviewed based on study of type and newly collected specimens. A new synonymy is proposed: Euxesta obliquestriata Hendel, 1909 = Euxesta mazorca Steyskal, 1974, syn. nov. Euxesta sororcula (Wiedemann, 1830), previously known from South and Central America as a pest of sweet corn, is here reported for the first time in the United States, in the state of Texas.
