The sugar beet root maggot[1] (Tetanops myopaeformis) is a species of picture-winged fly in the genus Tetanops of the family Ulidiidae. It is a serious pest of sugarbeets in North America.
The fly was described first by the name Eurycephala myopaeformis by Viktor von Röder in 1881.[2] In 1907 the name was emended by Friedrich Hendel to Eurycephalomyia in order to avoid confusion with the preoccupied name Eurycephala for a genus of Leaf bugs, now called Halticus.[3]
