Type species: Amsaria sagittocera Adisoemarto, 1974, by original designation. Syn. nov. Diagnosis Dichoptic eyes in both sexes (Figures 3–6). Ocellar tubercle often reduced in size, as wide as vertex area or much narrower (Figures 3–4); upper frons short, wider than long, at most only slightly longer than wide; lower frons often longer than upper frons (Figures 5–6). Male mid legs with a modified structure at base of first tarsomere (Figure 8). M4 vein branches off from discal cell, with m–cu crossvein connected at M3+4 fork (Figure 9); M1 and M3 long, but often fading, only apparent basally or as a fold (Figure 9 (a)). In male genitalia, gonocoxal apodeme reduced, not discernible; gonocoxal bridge at distal third; phallus and parameral sheath very reduced (Figure 10). Male and female mainly differing in the colouration over thorax and abdomen, with scutal bands slender and less intense and abdomen often completely yellowish in females; frons, frontal callus, and face in females broader than in males. Redescription Male. Length (mm): body, 6.0–6.5; wing, 5.5–6.0. Head (Figures 3–6). Typical of sargines, higher than wide and concave in dorsal view; eyes dichoptic, with very few sparse and minute setae on the eyes, and ommatidia uniform in size, except for a roughly circular area with slightly bigger ommatidia frontally. Frons, frontal callus, and face width nearly one-fifth of head or less, margins parallel-sided. Occiput black. Vertex area (from the posterior ocellus to the margin of the occiput) wide, mostly white to yellowish, except for a thin dark brown line on each side laterally; pilosity often yellowish, short to medium in length. Ocellar tubercle dark brown to black at centre, yellowish or brownish externally, reduced in size, often as wide as vertex or shorter; ocelli in the form of equilateral triangle; pilosity often yellowish, denser than in vertex, short to medium in length. Upper frons (black area between anterior ocellus and white lower frons) often wider than long or at most slightly longer and at least twice shorter than lower frons (whitish part above antenna); medial area of upper frons yellowish or brownish, at least twice as slender as the lateral area; black lateral area width varying from short to as wide as ocellar tubercle width, with short and dense yellowish to darkish pilosity; shape of anterior margin of upper frons at edge with lower frons: inverse-U-shaped (e.g. Figure 5 (a)), straight to nearly straight (Figure 6 (d))) or U-shaped, with median triangular extension slightly (Figure 6 (e)) to strongly (Figure 5 (f)) pointing towards antennal insertion. Frontal callus (= upper part of the lower frons) not distinguishable from basal half of lower frons in colour; latter with short whitish pilosity near antenna insertion. Antennae inserted at basal third of head; scape slightly longer than pedicel; mostly yellowish to reddish brown, except for a dorsoapical arista-like terminal flagellomere often dark brown, longer than remaining antenna, with a few setae at base, but often with only two; basal four flagellomeres compact, with short, relatively dense, yellowish hair-like setae; fourth flagellomere rounded or subtriangular, as long as each previous flagellomere separately (Figure 2 (a, b)) or much longer (Figure 2 (c)). Face white to yellow, much shorter than lower frons, pilosity short, yellowish. Proboscis whitish to reddish yellow, labellum well developed; maxillary palpus short, twosegmented, distal segment enlarged and shorter than basal segment. Thorax (Figure 7). Scutum mostly pale yellow in background, but reddish in some species; with a varied pattern of dark brown markings, ranging from a single complete medial band over scutum (e.g. Figure 7 (a)), with or without additional anterior and posterior lateral bands (e.g. Figure 7 (h)), to a completely dark scutum (Figure 7 (i)); scutellum often marked with dark brown, at least in the centre. Pleuron pale yellow to reddish yellow in background, with anepisternum, katepisternum, laterotergite, and mediotergite often marked with dark brown; pilosity white to yellow. Legs varying from whitish to reddish yellow, with at least the last three to four hind tarsomeres often dark brown; virtually unmodified, except for hind leg with first tarsomere much longer than tibia, and a modified structure at apex of mid first tarsomere, often hook-like or coiled, unique for each species (Figure 8). Wing (Figure 9). Wing membrane hyaline, with brownish veins; only microtrichia over membrane, except on alula, basal area of cup and br, bm, and cua cells anteriorly. C ending at wing tip. R2+3 originating slightly before or at level of r–m crossvein; basal third of R2+3 often curved, apical two-thirds straight, parallel to R1 towards wing margin.

Geographic distribution Oriental Region: Taiwan (Pingtung; Orchid Island), Philippines (Benguet; Eastern Samar: Calicoan Island; Laguna; Palawan), Thailand (Trang), Malaysia (Pahang; Sabah), Indonesia (North Maluku: Island of Mangole; West Java); Australian Region: Indonesia (West Papua), Papua New Guinea (Morobe); Australia (Queensland) (Figure 26). Comments The Malagasy Gongrosargus Lindner, 1959 is the only other genus of Sarginae that has the M4 vein branching off from the discal cell in the wing, with m–cu crossvein connected to the fork of M3+4 (Hauser et al. 2017b, p. 965, fig. 182). These, however, are very large flies and distinct due to the presence of more than five antennal flagellomeres (see Hauser et al. 2017b, p. 957, fig. 130), while all remaining genera of Sarginae have only five. Therefore, this may indicate that the genus does not belong to the Sarginae, but may be instead more closely related to the Chrysochlorinae and Hermetiinae. Adisoemarto (1974) compared his new genus Amsaria with the genera Sargus and Ptecticus and pointed out it could be distinguished from the latter two by the shape of the antenna, wing veins and thorax colouration. This is in part correct. Formosargus does not have a thumb-like projection of the pedicel towards the inner face of the flagellar complex as seen in Ptecticus (e.g. Rozkošný and Kovac 1994, p. 78, fig. 16); and in some species, including that described by Adisoemarto, the fourth flagellomere alone can be as broad as the remaining flagellomeres (see his p. 70, fig. 4), a feature that excludes it from Sargus as well. In respect of the scutum colour, the presence of a single medial dark band is indeed rather unique for most species of the genus, but some Formosargus species have also additional lateral markings, bands, or a completely dark scutum. In the Oriental Region, a three-banded scutum can be seen in Ptecticus, for example in P. proximus Rozkošný and Kovac, 1996. Therefore, this feature, the colouration of the thorax, is also not a good choice for genus identification. Adisoemarto, however, was not aware of James’s description of Formosargus (James 1939), nor of his second species described in 1969, in which he stated that the genus could be distinguished by the m–cu connected to the M3+4 fork and by veins M1 and M3 mostly fading. After examining photographs of the female holotype of Amsaria sagittocera (Figure 24) housed in the MZB collection and the illustrations in Adisoemarto (1974), it is clear to us that it belongs to Formosargus, and therefore, Amsaria is proposed as a new synonym of Formosargus. The male genitalia, illustrated for the first the time in this paper, is rather unique in the Sarginae, distinct from the genitalia of the other genera worldwide. In some Sarginae, there is a medial line, sometimes only visible as a subtle scar, over the ventral face of the synsternite, basal to the gonostylus insertion, with different degrees of sclerotisation that may be evidence of the fusion between the gonocoxites. This condition can be seen in Acrochaeta and some Merosargus, where the medial line can be further modified into a highly sclerotised projection internally (e.g. Fachin and Amorim 2015, p. 91, fig. 335). In the three genera, this medial line on the synsternite is present, although it is not well marked externally in Formosargus as it can be in Acrochaeta and Merosargus species. The medial line is, then, in Acrochaeta, Formosargus, and in some Merosargus, connected to the inner walls of the synsternite (e.g. Figure 10 (b)); Fachin and Amorim 2015, p. 19, fig. 40 and p. 90, fig. 331)). Additionally, Formosargus shares with these two Neotropical genera the presence of an inner projection in the synsternite, but the condition is slightly different. The inner projection itself in Formosargus is rather long, parallel and well defined, sometimes with strong setae distally, and free of an innermost connection with the ventral or inner margins of the gonocoxite (Figure 11), while in some Merosargus and in some members of Acrochaeta (e.g. A. fasciata Wiedemann, 1830; see Fachin and Amorim 2015, p. 19, fig. 40), the inner projection is wide and simple, with no signal of reduction around the gonostylus, and in the other members of Acrochaeta (e.g. A. flaveola Bigot, 1879; see Fachin and Amorim 2015, p. 53, fig. 61), the inner projection is still platelike but reduced laterally and around the gonostylus. In Formosargus, both the phallus and the parameral sheath are highly reduced and displaced distally in the genitalia (see e. g. Figure 12 (a)), which may be related to the reduction of the gonocoxal apodeme as well, recognisable only by an enlarging at the centre of the gonocoxal bridge (see e.g. Figure 11 (a), see black arrow). These features have also not been found in other sargines and may be apomorphies for Formosargus as well. Another important finding is the presence of a modified structure at the base of the first tarsomere in the male mid leg (Figure 8), which is, besides the hind tibial flange of Ptecticus kovaci Hauser and Rozkošný, 2007, the only case of a modified leg within Sarginae.Males are indeed rarer than females and only James (1939, 1969) had males to examine, but he did not notice the structure in the male mid leg. In the species of which we have males,the feature is unique for each species, which indicates it may be associated with some sort of courtship. Key to the adults of the species of Formosargus 1.

Medial band on scutum slightly wider on posterior half (Figure 7 (f)), with a narrowing at level of the transverse suture and yellow one-third of scutum as wide as in F. berezovskiyi sp. nov., but differs from it by a pair of anterior lateral dark brown maculae over notopleuron (Figure 19 (d)). Abdominal tergites with subtle brownish markings, mostly conforming with the background colour (Figure 19 (e)). Material examined HOLOTYPE, 1 ♀ (genitalia dissected and stored in microvial with glycerine), MALAYSIA, B. [British] N. [Northern] Borneo, [Sabah], Mt. [Mount] Kinabalu, Kamborangah, 7000 ft. [feet], 18 April 1929, [coll. H. M. Pendlebury] (NHMUK). Description Female. Length (n = 1): body, 10.0 mm; wing, 9.0 mm. Head (Figures 4 (b), 6(b)). Vertex area twice longer than ocellar tubercle. Upper frons as wide as long, twice longer than lower frons; upper frons black lateral area broader than ocellar tubercle width, with short dark brownish pilosity; anterior margin of upper frons with a median triangular projection pointing towards antennal insertion. Fourth flagellomere rounded, as wide as each previous flagellomere alone or slightly wider. Face nearly as long as lower frons. Thorax (Figure 7 (f)). Medial scutal band dark brown, nearly as wide as one-third of scutum, with a subtle narrowing at level of transverse suture, wider posteriorly, weakly discontinued at base of scutellum; a subrectangular dark brown macula over notopleuron area, extending over anepisternum proximally; laterotergite reddish yellow, mediotergite with only a small dark brown mark. Basal half of hind femur dark brown. Wing. R2+3 arising slightly before r–m, weakly curved towards R1 on basal third, nearly straight on apical two-thirds. M1 and M3 less faint. Halter mostly reddish yellow, distal half of knob dark brown. Abdomen. Reddish, with a central transverse brownish band, nearly covering entire surface of each tergites 1–5 (Figure 19 (d)), conforming in colour with the background; pilosity reddish yellow. Terminalia (Figures 15 (d), 17(g–h)). Genital fork wider medially at level of posterolateral process insertion; anterior half subtriangular, narrowing into a relatively slender and rounded anterior end; posterior bridge weakly bilobed; posterolateral process enlarged and rounded at base, much slenderer on next one-third, enlarging on last third towards apex, distal half nearly parallel; genital opening reduced, roughly oval. Male Unknown. Etymology The specific epithet, borneensis, refers to the collection site of the holotype of the new species, the island of Borneo. Geographic distribution Oriental Region. Malaysia (Sabah) (Figure 26). Comments This species is part of a group of species, including F. kerteszi, F. lineatus, F. berezovskiyi sp. nov., F. mangoleensis sp. nov. and F. melanogrammus, that share the presence of a single medial dark brown band on the scutum (see Figure 7 (a–c, e, g)) and a rounded fourth flagellomere (see Figure 2 (a, b)). Formosargus borneensis sp. nov., however, has a pair of additional subrectangular dark markings laterally on the anterior part of the scutum, mostly over the notopleuron (Figure 19 (e); see couplets 1 and 2 in the key). This feature indeed has similarities to the condition seen in the three-striped species, for example to that of F. trivittatus sp. nov. (Figure 20 (c)). The difference is that in F. trivittatus sp. nov. and in the other species related to it, the lateral macula is not only over the notopleuron but also extends over the anterior part of the scutum (see Figure 7 (h))., Published as part of Fachin, Diego Aguilar & Hauser, Martin, 2022, Revision of Formosargus James, 1939 (Diptera: Stratiomyidae): five new species in an otherwise rare genus and Amsaria Adisoemarto, 1974 as a generic synonym, pp. 1513-1562 in Journal of Natural History 56 (37 - 40) on pages 1552-1553, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2022.2117107, http://zenodo.org/record/7318178

Etymology The specific epithet is a patronym honouring Norman E. Woodley, a great expert in Diptera with major contributions to the systematics and taxonomy of Stratiomyidae. He recognised this new species as belonging to the genus Formosargus and made it available to us. Geographic distribution Oriental Region. Philippines (Benguet) (Figure 26). Comments Formosargus woodleyi sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from others by a body mostly dark, nearly completely dark on the scutum, with bluish reflections over it, especially in the scutum and abdomen (Figure 20 (e, f)). Besides these features, this is the only species of the genus that has the upper frons clearly longer than wide, also slenderer compared to other males (Figure 6 (f)), also it has a much bigger ocellar tubercle, which is wider than the vertex (Figure 4 (f)), and M1 and M3 veins completely discernible (Figure 9 (c)). The remaining species are predominantly yellow or reddish, at most only considerably marked with black over the scutum, but never with a metallic shine., Published as part of Fachin, Diego Aguilar & Hauser, Martin, 2022, Revision of Formosargus James, 1939 (Diptera: Stratiomyidae): five new species in an otherwise rare genus and Amsaria Adisoemarto, 1974 as a generic synonym, pp. 1513-1562 in Journal of Natural History 56 (37 - 40) on pages 1557-1558, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2022.2117107, http://zenodo.org/record/7318178

HOLOTYPE (Figure 25 (a–c)), ♂ labelled: ‘ Philippines, Palawan / Mantalingajan / Pinigisan 600 meter / 24 September 1961 /Noona Dan Exp. 61–62 [printed on white paper]’; ‘Caught in/malaise-traps/inside forest [printed on white paper]’; ‘zmuc/ 00026038 [printed on white paper]’; ‘ Formosargus / variegatus / ♂ James / HOLOTYPE [handwritten on red paper]’ (UZMC). The holotype has the last four mid tarsomeres missing. Geographic distribution Oriental Region. Philippines (Palawan) (Figure 26). Comments Formosargus variegatus has a scutum colour pattern similar to that seen in F. trivittatus sp. nov., since both species have at least three dark bands over the anterior part of the scutum, with yellow between the bands and the end of each of posterior lateral band connected to the medial band posteriorly. In F. variegatus, however, the medial band is completely interrupted at the transverse suture and the posterior lateral bands are strongly fused medially in the form of a semi-ellipse (Figure 25), while in F. trivittatus sp. nov., the medial band is narrowed at the level of the transverse suture and the posterior lateral bands are weakly connected to it, forming a triangular macula (Figure 7 (h))., Published as part of Fachin, Diego Aguilar & Hauser, Martin, 2022, Revision of Formosargus James, 1939 (Diptera: Stratiomyidae): five new species in an otherwise rare genus and Amsaria Adisoemarto, 1974 as a generic synonym, pp. 1513-1562 in Journal of Natural History 56 (37 - 40) on pages 1547-1550, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2022.2117107, http://zenodo.org/record/7318178, {"references":["James MT. 1969.

(Figures 4 (c), 6(c), 7(g), 16(a), 17(i–j), 19(f), 20(a)) Diagnosis (female) Medial band on scutum narrow, not reaching the extreme anterior end of scutum (Figure 7 (g)), wider posteriorly. Vertex at least twice the length of the ocellar tubercle (Figure 4 (c)); upper frons shortened, nearly three times shorter than lower frons (Figure 6 (c)). Mediotergite completely yellow; anepisternum with a small subrectangular dark spot (Figure 20 (a)). Abdomen entirely pale yellow.

Achterberg, RMNH 95’ (RMNH). Description Female. Length (n = 2): body, 10.0 mm; wing, 9.0 mm. Head (Figures 4 (c), 6(c)). Vertex area twice longer than ocellar tubercle. Upper frons shortened, twice wider than long, nearly three times shorter lower frons; upper frons black lateral area nearly as broad as ocellar tubercle width, with short brownish pilosity; anterior margin nearly straight at the edge with lower frons, only medially pointing towards antennal insertion. Fourth flagellomere rounded, as wide as each previous flagellomere alone or slightly wider. Face three times shorter than lower frons. Thorax (Figure 7 (g)). Medial dark brown band covering less than one-third of scutum width, not reaching extreme anterior end of scutum, wider on posterior half and scutellum; pleuron pale yellow, with only a small subrectangular dark brown spot on anepisternum. Wing. R2+3 originating slightly before r–m, weakly curved on basal third, straight on apical two-thirds. Abdomen. Completely yellow; pilosity yellow. Terminalia (Figures 16 (a), 17(i, j)). Genital fork wider at posterior half at level of posterior bridge; anterior half gradually narrowing into a long and curved anterior end; posterior bridge bilobed; posterolateral process parallel, slightly wider at base, gradually narrowing towards a rounded apex; genital opening roughly circular. Male Unknown. Etymology The specific epithet, mangoleensis, refers to the collection site of the holotype of the new species, the island of Mangole, in the Sula Islands, Indonesia. Geographic distribution Oriental Region. Indonesia (North Maluku: Mangole Island) (Figure 26). Comments This species, as mentioned, shares with the females of F. kerteszi a small dark spot on the anepisternum and mediotergite completely yellow. However, it is distinguished from F. kerteszi by a vertex area twice the length of the ocellar tubercle (Figure 6 (c)); also, in F. mangoleensis sp. nov., the upper frons is relatively shorter than that in F. kerteszi (see Figures 5 (b, c) and 6(c) for comparison) and it has a medial band slightly wider, that does not reach the extreme apex of the anterior part of scutum (see Figures 7 (b) and 7(g) for comparison). Besides these features, F. mangoleensis sp. nov. is so far the only species reported within the limits of Wallacea (Figure 26) – the area between Wallace’s Line and Lydekker’s Line – while F. kerteszi is found more to the north, beyond Wallace’s Line. The nearest species in geographical proximity to F. mangolensis sp. nov. is a record of F. lineatus from the Island of Waigeo, Indonesia, near the north-west boundary of Lydekker’s Line, which is in the Australian Region., Published as part of Fachin, Diego Aguilar & Hauser, Martin, 2022, Revision of Formosargus James, 1939 (Diptera: Stratiomyidae): five new species in an otherwise rare genus and Amsaria Adisoemarto, 1974 as a generic synonym, pp. 1513-1562 in Journal of Natural History 56 (37 - 40) on pages 1554-1555, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2022.2117107, http://zenodo.org/record/7318178

Geographic distribution. Oriental Region. Taiwan (Pingtung), Philippines (Eastern Samar: Calicoan Island; Laguna) (Figure 26). Comments James’s description of Formosargus kerteszi is based on one male and three females (allotype and two paratypes). The additional male specimen herein presented from the Philippines conforms with the male holotype because both have a pair of diffuse black markings on the anepisternum, and a black mediotergite (Figure 21 (a)). The females from the same site as the male holotype and one additional female from the Philippines (Calicoan Island), however, differ from them by the presence of a single and small spot on the anespisternum and, strangely, their mediotergites are completely yellow. The two Australian species, F . lineatus and F. melanogrammus, also have a yellow mediotergite and similar scutal medial band to those of the females of F. kerteszi (see Figure 18 (a and d) for comparison), but, in contrast, both anepisterna are entirely yellow. Formosargus mangoleensis sp. nov., from Indonesia, is the only species sharing with the females of F. kerteszi one small spot on the anepisternum and a yellow mediotergite (Figure 20 (a)). It is interesting that they also have a rather similar scutal medial band, although in F . mangoleensis sp. nov. it is broader and does not reach the extreme anterior margin of the scutum (Figure 7 (g)). The fact is that these females of F . kerteszi tentatively do not fit in any other species and we do not have enough evidence to propose them as a separate species as well. Our data shows that each species has a distinct genital fork (Figure 17); however, only the female from Calicoan Island has the genital fork illustrated, so a possible confirmation of these females as a separate species from the males would demand the examination of the genital fork of the allotype and paratypes of F . kerteszi, which was not performed in this study. The holotype male genitalia is currently lost. We only have an additional male of F. kerteszi, which is without the terminal part of the abdomen including the genitalia, so it could not be illustrated and described. On the other hand, one available photograph of the male genitalia of the holotype (Figure 21 (e)) shows that F. kerteszi is similar to F. lineatus, particularly due to the presence of long inner projections of the synsternite (Figure 11 (a))., Published as part of Fachin, Diego Aguilar & Hauser, Martin, 2022, Revision of Formosargus James, 1939 (Diptera: Stratiomyidae): five new species in an otherwise rare genus and Amsaria Adisoemarto, 1974 as a generic synonym, pp. 1513-1562 in Journal of Natural History 56 (37 - 40) on pages 1528-1534, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2022.2117107, http://zenodo.org/record/7318178, {"references":["James MT. 1939.

Distribution. Brazil (new record), Paraguay (Guairá: Villarrica). Comments. Pimentel & Pujol-Luz (2001: 18), in their revision of Raphiocerinae, synonymized Dicranophora brevifurca James, 1943 with D. bispinosa (Wiedemann, 1830) (see also Woodley 2011: 406). After examination of the holotype of both species, however, it became clear that both species are distinct (images of one syntype of D. bispinosa: http://daim.snm.ku.dk/digitized-type-collection-details-simple?catno=zmuc00024851). The genus Dicranophora Macquart, 1834 is characterized by the presence of a cylindrical projection, sometimes shorter, as in D. astuta Williston, 1888 (see Pimentel & Pujol-Luz 2001: 22, fig. 76), sometimes longer, as in D. fermuspiculata Godoi & Rafael, 2013 (see Godoi & Rafael 2013: 87, fig. 7), that comes out from the scutellum distal margin and forms a forked process, with the two scutellar spines at its apex. These two species herein examined (D. bispinosa and D. brevifurca), however, have a distinct scutellum shape and size of scutellar spines, clearly not forming a cylindrical base for the two marginal spines and, consequently, the forked process. Therefore, these two species should not be placed in Dicranophora. As well, we examined the holotype of Dicamptocrana jorgenseni Frey, 1934, which was described based on a single male, from the same locality (Villarrica, Paraguay) of Dicranophora brevifurca. Both species, based on males, share the same body coloration pattern and scutellum shape, hence D. brevifurca stat. rev. has its previous position as a synonym of D. bispinosa modified and it is now proposed as a new synonym of Dicamptocrana jorgenseni. It is worth noting that D. bispinosa remains now as the only species of Dicranophora for which the cylindrical projection of the scutellum is absent and it is probable that this species is conspecific with Pezodontina guianae Lindner, 1949a. We add the first record of the Dicamptocrana jorgenseni from Brazil, based on five males and one female, all labeled as: Brazil, São Paulo, Turmalina, Fazenda São João, 20°00’13”S 50°26’02”W, 08.i.2008, Malaise preta, F.B.

Barrias col., Colecten Tajamar (MNHNPY; MNHNP-HX 2057). Distribution. Paraguay (Boquerón: Parque Nacional Teniente Enciso). Comments. The limits between the genera Chordonota Gerstaecker, 1857 and Abasanistus Kertész, 1923 are not well understood (Woodley 2001: 334). This species, in particular, is smaller than the other Chordonota species and it also has an orange head with dark markings, as seen in, for example, A. aureopicus James, 1973b (see Fachin et al. 2021: 37). However, this species and, as far as we know, all Chordonota species have the pedicel at least two times longer than scape, while they are subequal in size in Abasanistus. This species, Chordonota sp. 1 (Fig. 66), is likely an undescribed taxon as the genus has not been revised., Published as part of Fachin, Diego Aguilar, Zichinelli, Marcela Maria Parada & Barrett, Bolívar Rafael Garcete, 2022, An illustrated checklist of Stratiomyidae (Diptera: Brachycera) from Paraguay with three new synonyms and 22 new records of species for the country, pp. 1-55 in Zootaxa 5190 (1) on page 16, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5190.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/7119906, {"references":["Gerstaecker, A.

(MNHNPY; MNHNP-HX 2086). 1 ♀, San Pedro, Cororo-Rio Ypane, 01–04.xii.1983, Malaise trap, M. Wasbauer coll. (CSCA). Distribution. Paraguay (Cordillera: Tobatí; San Pedro: Cororo-Rio Ypane). Comments. This species resembles the two species of Hedriodiscus Enderlein, 1914b: H. pulcher (Wiedemann, 1824) and H. quadrilineatus (Macquart, 1834). According to Woodley (2009), both genera (Hedriodiscus and Psellidotus Rondani, 1863) correspond to a heterogeneous group of species and a revision of their generic limits might place some of their species in other/new genera. Their separation is often based on the presence or absence of the crossvein r–m and in the number of flagellomeres. Hedriodiscus does not have a crossvein r–m, therefore the discal cell is fused to the radial sector, and the antenna is often shorter, with six well-discernible flagellomeres, in which the sixth is clearly slender than the fourth. Psellidotus, on the other hand, has a crossvein r–m and the antenna is a bit longer, with five or six flagellomeres (James & McFadden 1979: 9; Woodley 2009: 534), in which the last two can be indistinctly separated from each other and as wide as the previous flagellomere. Although similar in the overall body color pattern, particularly over the thorax, with H. quadrilineatus (Lagrange 1993: 71, fig. 22), our Psellidotus sp. 1 (Figs 99–100), same as for Psellidotus sp. 2, has a longer antenna, in which the flagellomeres 4–6 or 5–6 (if the fourth is fused to the fifth) are only slightly tapered, without difference in diameter between the last two and the previous flagellomere. Furthermore, both Psellidotus species have a short crossvein r-m and they do not have a developed fronto-facial prominence with the antennae inserted at the apex, as seen in the two species of Hedriodiscus revised by Lagrange (1993)., Published as part of Fachin, Diego Aguilar, Zichinelli, Marcela Maria Parada & Barrett, Bolívar Rafael Garcete, 2022, An illustrated checklist of Stratiomyidae (Diptera: Brachycera) from Paraguay with three new synonyms and 22 new records of species for the country, pp. 1-55 in Zootaxa 5190 (1) on page 34, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5190.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/7119906, {"references":["Enderlein, G.

Holotype: female (IOC, examined); Allotype: female (AMNH); Paratypes: 1 female (IOC), 2 females (AMNH); 2 females (WSU). Type locality: Brazil, Santa Catarina, Nova Teutonia (= Seara). = Adoxomyia niveipenicillata Lindner, 1949a: 786. Nomen nudum. = Adoxomyia niveipenicillata Lindner, 1949b: 872. Syntypes: 1 male, 2 female (NHMUK), 1 female (SMNS). Type locality: Brazil, Santa Catarina, Nova Teutonia (= Seara). References. James, 1973a: 26.33 (cat); Woodley, 2001: 169 (cat.). Material examined. Paraguay: 1 ♀, San Pedro, Liberación, 03.i.1994, Bolívar Garcete col. (MEL). Distribution. Brazil, Paraguay (San Pedro: Liberación). Comments. James (1943b: 382), in the original description, mentioned that one female allotype and five female paratypes were deposited in IOC, AMNH, and WSU (stated as in the collection of the author), but he did not specify which specimen is in which collection. We found that one female paratype is in IOC (examined) and another two in WSU (type number 815, see Zack 1984: 23). Therefore, although not confirmed, we are assuming that the allotype and the remaining two paratypes are in the AMNH collection.

sp. 1 Material examined. Paraguay: 1 ♀, [Itapúa], Pirapó, 28–31.xii.1971, L. Peña col. (MZUSP; MZ017905). Distribution. Paraguay (Itapúa: Pirapó). Comments. In the most complete key to Merosargus species (James & McFadden 1971), this species keys out as M. pallifrons Curran, 1932b. They both have a similar color pattern on the head, with the upper frons yellow medially and black laterally, legs mostly yellowish, and the presence of brown markings over the abdomen. However, Merosargus sp. 1, differs from M. pallifrons, in having a setose alula and wide brownish maculae over the thorax, forming a three-banded thorax., Published as part of Fachin, Diego Aguilar, Zichinelli, Marcela Maria Parada & Barrett, Bolívar Rafael Garcete, 2022, An illustrated checklist of Stratiomyidae (Diptera: Brachycera) from Paraguay with three new synonyms and 22 new records of species for the country, pp. 1-55 in Zootaxa 5190 (1) on page 28, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5190.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/7119906, {"references":["James, M.
