Abstract
- Four new genera ( Apomorphyto gen.n. from Costa Rica, Bixinia gen.n. from Australia, Rhinodonia gen.n. from New Caledonia, Rhinopeza gen.n. from Papua New Guinea) and nine new species ( Apomorphyto inbio sp.n., Bixinia collessi sp.n., B. solitaria sp.n., B. spei sp.n., B. variabilis sp.n., B. winkleri sp.n., Rhinodonia antiqua sp.n., R. flavicera sp.n., Rhinopeza gracilis sp.n.) of Rhinophoridae ( Diptera: Calyptratae, Oestroidea) are described. All new species were included in a morphology-based phylogenetic analysis to provide arguments for the justification and monophyly (when nonmonotypic) of the new genera and for including these in the Rhinophoridae. The New Caledonian Rhinodonia is a candidate sister taxon to all other rhinophorids, and the Australasian 'axiniine' species emerge inside a clade of all Neotropical taxa thus suggesting migration from South America across Antarctica into Australia.
