Abstract
This paper deals with relationships among species-groups of Chrysocharis from the following three points of view : I. morphological similarities based on canonical discriminant analysis ; II. morphoclines for 10 characters ; III. parasite-host associations. It has been concluded that the species-groups associated with a lepidopterous genus, Stigmella, represent primitive forms of Chrysocharis, from which the Diptera-feeding groups have evolved through intermediate forms such as species-groups associated with multiple hosts.
