New genera of philopotine spider flies (Diptera, Acroceridae) with a key to living and fossil genera

Abstract

In this paper we describe two new genera of philopotine Acroceridae: Schlingeriella irwini gen. et sp. n. (New Caledonia) and Quasi fisheri gen. et sp. n. (Mexico). The Baltic amber species Eulonchiella eocenica Meunier, 1912 is rediagnosed and a neotype designated based on a newly discovered specimen. We also provide a dichotomous key to the world genera of Philopotinae, both living and fossil. Copyright Jéssica P. Gillung, Shaun L. Winterto.
