Popis: | Four established genera of Afrotropical Asilidae: Laphriinae, Choerades Walker, 1851, Laphria Meigen, 1803, Nannolaphria Londt, 1977 and Notiolaphria Londt, 1977 are discussed, and a new genus, Ericomyia gen. n. described. As no true Laphria are known from the afrotropics the following nine species are newly combined with Choerades pending review: auricorpus (Hobby, 1948) comb. n., ctenoventris (Oldroyd, 1970) comb. n., fortipes (Walker, 1857) comb. n., hera (Bromley, 1935) comb. n., luctuosa (Macquart, 1847) comb. n., metalli (Walker, 1851) comb. n., ricardoi (Bromley, 1935) comb. n., rueppelii (Wiedemann, 1828) comb. n., schoutedeni (Bromley, 1935) comb. n. This brings the number of recognised Afrotropical Choerades species to 25. New records are provided for the monotypic Nannolaphria, known only from South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape Provinces). Notiolaphria is reviewed with many new records provided. Six species are recognised, four transferred from Laphria and two new to science:... |
