En: Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington (EUA) v. 84(3) p. 568-585Resumen: Diagnoses and keys are given for the Forcipomyia argenteola Group of species of the subgenus Forcipomyia s. str. Included in this group are F. argenteola Macfie from southern Brazil; quatei Wirth, ranging from the southern United States to southern Brazil; calatheae, n. sp., from Brazil, Colombia, and Dominica; and youngi, n. sp., from Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Panama. Because of its close similarity to species of the argenteola Group, diagnostic notes are also given for the widespread Neotropical species, squamitibia Lutz. Larvae of species of the argenteola Group are commonly found in rotting banana stems, cacao pods, bracts of Calathea and Heliconia, and similar decaying vegetable matter; and the species are often abundant in cacao plantations where the adults may serve as pollinators.
