Species
The genus contains seven species, all originally from Mesorhaga:[1]
- Amesorhaga angulata (Parent, 1935)[4] – West Malaysia
- Amesorhaga argentifacies (Parent, 1941)[5] – Thailand, West Malaysia
- Amesorhaga breviappendiculata (De Meijere, 1916)[2] – Java
- Amesorhaga femorata (De Meijere, 1916)[2] – Java
- Amesorhaga malayensis (Parent, 1935)[4] – West Malaysia
- Amesorhaga mellavana (Hollis, 1964)[6] – Sri Lanka
- Amesorhaga pseudolata (Hollis, 1964)[6] – Sri Lanka
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]
