Three new genera and nine new species – just a fragment of the Afrotropical fauna of Anthomyzidae (Diptera)
Original language description
The fauna of Afrotropical Anthomyzidae (Diptera) is enriched by three new genera and nine new species, viz., Durantha gen. nov., D. dura sp. nov. (type species; Tanzania, Kenya), D. freidbergi sp. nov. (Ethiopia); Pectarista gen. nov., P. grandiloba sp. nov. (type species; Cameroon), P. curta sp. nov. (Cameroon), P. planta sp. nov. (Kenya); Virgatomyza gen. nov., V. helvior sp. nov. (type species; Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania), V. bivirgata sp. nov. (Ethiopia), V. discolor sp. nov. (Kenya) and V. dissimilis sp. nov. (Ethiopia). All these taxa are described and illustrated in detail and their relationships are discussed. Durantha gen. nov. is affi liated with the Amygdalops group of genera, Pectarista gen. nov. with the Barbarista group of genera and Virgatomyza gen. nov. is the fi rst Afrotropical representative of the Anthomyza group of genera. A new key to Afrotropical genera of Anthomyzidae and keys to the identifi cation of Pectarista and Virgatomyza species are given. Sexual dichroism of the fore leg of Pectarista species is described for the fi rst time in the family. The female internal genitalia of Pectarista grandiloba everted after oviposition are described and illustrated. Diversity of Afrotropical Anthomyzidae is discussed.
