Rhinotora diversipennis Lopes (Figs 1 A���F, 10) Rhinotora diversipennis Lopes, 1936: 107. Holotype ��, MNRJ. Type-locality: Brazil, S��o Paulo, Capital, Cantareira. Distr.��� Brazil (S��o Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul). Refs ��� Lopes 1936: figs 3���4, 7���9 (male genitalia, crossveins of cell r1, wing); Papavero 1967: 2 (catalogue); Almeida & Ale-Rocha 2011: 54 (male genitalia). Diagnosis. Rhinotora diversipennis, along with R. travassosi, are the only two species having two independent supernumerary crossveins arising from the middle of R2+3. In R. diversipennis, however, these crossveins are parallel (sometimes connected posteriorly) and the spot around them are not distinctly darker than the remaining wing spots. In addition, this species differs from R. travassosi by the lack of anterior orbital seta (feature also observed in R. lopesi). As in most Rhinotora species, the male fore femur is about three times longer than wide (slightly narrower on female). Redescription. Head (Figs 1 A���C). Yellow to brown, silvery to golden pruinose.

Rhinotora travassosi shares with lopesi, R. paschoali sp. nov., and R. spiloptera, the complex pattern of brown and golden pruinose stripes and spots on scutum.

Diagnosis. Rhinotora fonsecai is the only Rhinotora species with lobed, instead of spiniform, protuberances on scutellum. This species shares with some specimens of R. travassosi and also with Rhinotoroides the presence of branched supernumerary crossveins on r1. Likewise R. pluricellata, R. salesopolitana, R. spiloptera, and many exemplars of R. lopesi, this species has one simple supernumerary crossvein arising from the middle of R2+3. As in most Rhinotora species, the anterior orbital seta is present. Redescription. Head (Fig. 1 A). Mostly yellow, silvery to golden pruinose. Anterior reclinate orbital seta short, piliform. Mouthparts brown, clypeus and palpus yellowish. Thorax (Fig. 1 A). Scutum reddish brown with yellowish regions. Scutellum trapezoidal, with lateral and apical roundish protuberances; base of apical seta prolonged posteriorly. Scutellum mostly reddish brown, yellow at the base of apical seta; silvery pruinose, shiny at the base of apical setae. Wing. Medial vein ratio: 0.46.

Rhinotora fonsecai was transferred to Neorhinotora Lopes, 1934, by Papavero (1967) based on the lack of spines on scutellum. In the last review of Neorhinotora species, however, Almeida & Ale-Rocha (2008) argued that the lobed protuberances found in the scutellum of R. fonsecai (two lateral and one apical) are in a similar position to the spiniform protuberances of the scutellum of Rhinotora, suggesting homology between those structures. The authors, despite not having transferred R. fonsecai back to Rhinotora, also stated many features that separate this species from the remaining Neorhinotora, namely head relatively wider, compound eye more obliquely disposed, clypeus not as well developed, pruinescence finer, scutellum not excavated, female sternite 8 with two rows of setulae instead of one and egg with widespread chorionic reticulation. Considering all these aspects, R. fonsecai is here transferred back to its original genus., Published as part of Calhau, Julia, Coelho, L��via Aguiar, Kawada, Ricardo, Lima, Felipe Varussa De Oliveira & Guillermo-Ferreira, Rhainer, 2016, Review of Rhinotora (Diptera, Heleomyzidae) with description of a new species and key to all known heleomyzid species from Brazil, pp. 513-533 in Zootaxa 4138 (3) on pages 518-519, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4138.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/259175, {"references":["Lopes, H.

Rhinotora Schiner Rhinotora Schiner, 1868: 233. Type-species, Rhinotora pluricellata Schiner, 1868 (orig. des.). Diagnosis. Rhinotora, within the Rhinotorini, is unique by the protuberances on scutellum. It shares with Neorhinotora and some Australian species of Cairnsimyia Malloch, 1931, the absence of postvertical setae (McAlpine 1985). Likewise most Rhinotorini, Rhinotora has the scutellum flattened (not excavated as in Neorhinotora), and the pruinescence of scutum is fine, present around setal sockets (in Neorhinotora pruinescence is thicker, absent around setal sockets). The genus, along with the remaining Rhinotorina, also has the following features, as observed by McAlpine (1985): genal seta present; presutural intrallar seta present; one presutural intrallar seta; two well separated postsutural dorsocentral setae; scutellum without setulae (only strong setae present); propleuron without hairs except at lower extremity; hind femur with one strong anterodorsal seta at about apical fifth; spaced costal spines absent; costal break simple; male postabdomen: sternite 5 deeply bilobed; tergite 6 never present as a separate sclerite; surstylus movably articulated at base.

Rhinotora paschoali Calhau & Coelho sp. nov. (Figs 3A���G, 10) Diagnosis. Rhinotora paschoali sp. nov. is the only species in the genus that lacks strong ventral seta on mid and hind femora, besides having the most developed anterior orbital seta in the genus. It shares with R. spiloptera the fore femur proportions (about four times longer than wide). On the other hand, this species is similar to some specimens of R. lopesi concerning the branched supernumerary crossvein arising from the middle of R2+3. Likewise R. lopesi, R. spiloptera and R. travassosi, the scutum has a complex pattern of brown and golden pruinose stripes and spots. The male genitalia in this new species is very distinctive, with cerci laterally expanded in fingerlike projections and phallus flattened, laterally L-shaped. Description. Male. Body length, excluding antenna and abdomen: 3.40 mm. Head (Figs 3A���C). Height: 0.83 mm, width: 1.53 mm. Yellow to brown, silvery to golden pruinose. Compound eye yellowish.

Anterior reclinate orbital seta about as long as one third of posterior seta. Ocellar triangle brown. Face yellow with a dark brown band below antennae. Gena yellow with an oblique medial brown stripe. Subgena yellow to brown. Postgena yellow. Median occipital sclerite brown, shiny. Occiput yellow, black setulose. Mouthparts yellowish.

Rhinotora lopesi Guimar��es & Papavero (Figs 2 C���F, 10) Rhinotora lopesi Guimar��es & Papavero, 1966: 264. Type-locality: Brazil, S��o Paulo, Campos do Jord��o, Alto da Boa Vista, Fazenda da Guarda. Distr.��� Brazil (S��o Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul). Ref.��� Guimar��es & Papavero, 1966: figs 3���4 (male genitalia); Papavero 1967: 2 (catalogue). Diagnosis. Rhinotora lopesi, along with R. diversipennis, are the only species on which the anterior orbital seta are completely absent. These species are easily distinguished from each other by the number of supernumerary crossveins arising from the middle of R2+3 (one crossvein in R. lopesi, two in R. diversipennis). Rhinotora diversipennis resembles R. travassosi regarding the presence of parallel posteromedial paired spots on scutum., but these spots are well separate in R. lopesi, and connected to each other in R. travassosi. As in most Rhinotora species, the male fore femur is about three times longer than wide (slightly thinner on female). Rhinotora lopesi is easily distinguishable from the remaining congeneric species by the male genitalia, specially by the cerci shape. Redescription. Head (Figs 2 C���D). Yellow to brown, silvery to golden pruinose. Anterior reclinate orbital seta absent. Mouthparts brown, clypeus and palpus yellowish. Thorax (Figs 2 C���D). Scutum brown, with complex pattern of brown and golden pruinose stripes and spots; posteromedial paired spots parallel. Scutellum triangular with apical and lateral spiniform protuberances; base of apical seta protuberant; yellowish brown, golden pruinose, apex and protuberances shiny. Wing (Fig. 2 D). Medial vein ratio: 0.46. Veins mostly dark brown with white and yellow areas; C mostly yellow, dark brown on distal two thirds of cell c. Membrane hyaline with dark spots. Cell r1 with six to nine simple supernumerary crossveins. Cell r2+3 with a simple or branched supernumerary crossvein arising from the middle of R2+3. Legs (Fig. 2 C). Fore femur on male about three times longer than wide (slightly thinner on female). Distal third of mid femur with short strong anteroventral setae. Distal third of hind femur with anteroventral row of strong setae. Mid tibia with one distinct apical ventral seta. Abdomen. Tergites dark brown, sternites yellowish brown; brown setulose. Protandrium (Fig. 1 E). Sternite 5 medially membranous. Sternites 6���8 fused, encircling the abdomen without a break. Male genitalia (Fig. 1 F). Cerci fused to each other, distally free, each of them comprising a greater medial lobe, and a smaller lateral lobe. Surstylus with outer long projection and pair of small microtrichose inner lobes. Phallus with membranous, oval apex. Distribution (Fig. 10). Brazil (Amazonas, Paran��, Rio Grande do Sul, S��o Paulo). Examined type material. HOLOTYPE ��. BRAZIL.
