Abstract: The male genitalia of Cryptonevra Lioy, 1864 living in the galls of Lipara Meigen, 1830, on the common reed are described and illustrated with 24 drawings. The male genitalia of C. consimilis and C. flavitarsis are identical, and there is overlap between diagnostic characters. Accordingly, it is suggested that C. consimilis be a junior synonym of C. flavitarsis. The male genitalia of C. nigritarsis differ considerably from those of C. flavitarsis, their diagnostic characters being also different. Accordingly, C. nigritarsis should be recognised as a separate species. A key is presented for determination of Cryptonevra flies living in Lipara galls on the common reed.
