Abstract
The Tachinidae of the Afrotropical Region are catalogued and seven genera and eight species are newly described. There are 237 genera and 1126 species recognized, of which 101 genera and 1043 species are endemic to the region. The catalogue is based on examination of the primary literature comprising about 525 references as well as numerous name-bearing types and other specimens housed in collections. Taxa are arranged hierarchically and alphabetically under the categories of subfamily, tribe, genus, subgenus (where recognized), species, and rarely subspecies. Nomenclatural information is provided for all genus-group and species-group names, including lists of synonyms (mostly restricted to Afrotropical taxa) and name-bearing type data. Species distributions are recorded by country within the Afrotropical Region and by larger geographical divisions outside the region. Additional information is given in the form of notes, numbering about 300 in the catalogue section. Seven genera and eight species are described as new: Afrophylax Cerretti & O’Hara with type species Sturmia aureiventris Villeneuve, 1910, gen. n. (Exoristinae, Eryciini); Austrosolieria Cerretti & O’Hara with type species Austrosolieria londti Cerretti & O’Hara, gen. n. and sp. n. (South Africa) and Austrosolieria freidbergi Cerretti & O’Hara, sp. n. (Malawi) (Tachininae, Leskiini); Carceliathrix Cerretti & O’Hara with type species Phorocera crassipalpis Villeneuve, 1938, gen. n. (Exoristinae, Eryciini); Filistea Cerretti & O’Hara with type species Viviania aureofasciata Curran, 1927, gen. n. and Filistea verbekei Cerretti & O’Hara, sp. n. (Cameroon, D.R. Congo, Uganda) (Exoristinae, Blondeliini); Mesnilotrix Cerretti & O’Hara with type species Dexiotrix empiformis Mesnil, 1976, gen. n. (Dexiinae, Dexiini); Myxophryxe Cerretti & O’Hara with type species Phorocera longirostris Villeneuve, 1938, gen. n., Myxophryxe murina Cerretti & O’Hara, sp. n. (South Africa), Myxophryxe regalis Cerretti & O’Hara, sp. n. (South Africa), and Myxophryxe satanas Cerretti & O’Hara, sp. n. (South Africa) (Exoristinae, Goniini); and Stiremania Cerretti & O’Hara with type species Stiremania karoo Cerretti & O’Hara, gen. n. and sp. n. (South Africa), and Stiremania robusta Cerretti & O’Hara, sp. n. (South Africa) (Exoristinae, Goniini). Paraclara Bezzi, 1908 is transferred from the Cylindromyiini to the Hermyini, comb. n. Sarrorhina Villeneuve, 1936 is transferred from the Minthoini to the Graphogastrini, comb. n. Three genera are newly recorded from the Afrotropical Region: Madremyia Townsend, 1916 (Eryciini); Paratrixa Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1891 (Blondeliini); and Simoma Aldrich, 1926 (Goniini). Three genera previously recorded from the Afrotropical Region are no longer recognized from the region: Calozenillia Townsend, 1927 (Palaearctic, Oriental and Australasian regions); Eurysthaea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 (Palaearctic, Oriental and Australasian regions); and Trixa Meigen, 1824 (Palaearctic and Oriental regions). Two species are newly recorded from the Afrotropical Region: Amnonia carmelitana Kugler, 1971 (Ethiopia, Kenya); and Simoma grahami Aldrich, 1926 (Namibia). Three species previously recorded from the Afrotropical Region are no longer recognized from the region: Euthera peringueyi Bezzi, 1925 (Oriental Region); Hamaxia incongrua Walker, 1860 (Palaearctic, Oriental and Australasian regions); Leucostoma tetraptera (Meigen, 1824) (Palaearctic Region). New replacement names are proposed for five preoccupied names of Afrotropical species: Billaea rubida O’Hara & Cerretti for Phorostoma rutilans Villeneuve, 1916, preoccupied in the genus Billaea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 by Musca rutilans Fabricius, 1781, nom. n.; Cylindromyia braueri O’Hara & Cerretti for Ocyptera nigra Villeneuve, 1918, preoccupied in the genus Cylindromyia Meigen, 1803 by Glossidionophora nigra Bigot, 1885, nom. n.; Cylindromyia rufohumera O’Hara & Cerretti for Ocyptera scapularis Villeneuve, 1944, preoccupied in the genus Cylindromyia Meigen, 1803 by Ocyptera scapularis Loew, 1845, nom. n.; Phytomyptera longiarista O’Hara & Cerretti for Phytomyzoneura aristalis Villeneuve, 1936, preoccupied in the genus Phytomyptera Rondani, 1845 by Phasiostoma aristalis Townsend, 1915, nom. n.; and Siphona (Siphona) pretoriana O’Hara & Cerretti for Siphona laticornis Curran, 1941, preoccupied in the genus Siphona Meigen, 1803 by Actia laticornis Malloch, 1930, nom. n. New type species fixations are made under the provisions of Article 70.3.2 of the ICZNCode for two genus-group names: Lydellina Villeneuve, 1916, type species newly fixed as Lydellina villeneuvei Townsend, 1933 (valid genus name); and Sericophoromyia Austen, 1909, type species newly fixed as Tachina quadrata Wiedemann, 1830 (synonym of Winthemia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830). Lectotypes are designated for the following nine nominal species based on examination of one or more syntypes of each: Degeeria crocea Villeneuve, 1950; Degeeria semirufa Villeneuve, 1950; Erycia brunnescens Villeneuve, 1934; Exorista oculata Villeneuve, 1910; Kiniatilla tricincta Villeneuve, 1938; Myxarchiclops caffer Villeneuve, 1916; Ocyptera linearis Villeneuve, 1936; Peristasisea luteola Villeneuve, 1934; and Phorocera crassipalpis Villeneuve, 1938. The following four genus-group names that were previously treated as junior synonyms or subgenera are recognized as valid generic names: Bogosiella Villeneuve, 1923, status revived; Dyshypostena Villeneuve, 1939, status revived; Perlucidina Mesnil, 1952, status revived; and Thelymyiops Mesnil, 1950, status n.

Introduction
The Tachinidae are a large cosmopolitan family of flies that are parasitoids of other arthropods, primarily other insects (
Crosskey’s exemplary skills as a taxonomist, nomenclaturalist and bibliographer ensured that his Afrotropical catalogue and keys were virtually free of errors in their presentation of factual information. His higher classification of the Tachinidae, however, was little changed from his earlier conspecti and in this respect was not progressive. Nevertheless, it suited Crosskey’s desire to construct keys that would first separate tribes and then genera within tribes. His classification was already at odds with the advances being made in tachinid relationships by Mesnil, Herting and Verbeke (
The main impetus for preparing this catalogue was the announcement in 2010 during the 7th International Congress of Dipterology in San José, Costa Rica, of an international effort to publish a Manual of Afrotropical Diptera (A.H. Kirk-Spriggs and B.J. Sinclair, editors, in prep.). The Tachinidae are by far the largest family of Afrotropical Diptera in terms of genera and the Manual chapter detailing this diversity is recognized as a considerable challenge by the authors (P. Cerretti, J.E. O’Hara, J.O. Stireman and D.M. Wood, in prep.). This catalogue is intended as both a companion volume to the Manual chapter and a resource for the chapter authors as they prepare a key to genera and evaluate the diversity, biology and biogeography of the tachinid fauna.
The geographic limits of the Afrotropical Region for the purposes of this catalogue have been changed slightly from those of
Numerous specimens of Afrotropical Tachinidae were examined during the preparation of this catalogue. This has led to taxonomic changes within the catalogue and also revealed numerous new species and a smaller number of new genera. Described herein are seven new genera that are well characterized and worthy of formal recognition in this catalogue and by such treatment will be available for inclusion in the key to tachinid genera in the Manual.
The Catalogue of the Diptera of the Afrotropical Region recognized 95 families, 2020 genera and 16,550 species (
The number of Afrotropical tachinid genera and species has risen modestly over the past 35 years due to taxonomic activity, an expansion of the region’s boundaries, and the new taxa described herein. The present catalogue records 237 genera, of which 101 (43%) are endemic to the region. Of the 1126 species recorded, a total of 1043 (93%) are endemic. The current numbers represent an increase since 1980 of 29 genera and 130 species. Despite these advances, the tachinid fauna of the region remains understudied and many new taxa await discovery and description.

This catalogue is arranged in a similar manner to the one on the Tachinidae of China by
General
This catalogue cites all nominal species in their original combinations, provides details about name-bearing types, gives known distributions, and is based on the examination of all but a very few of the approximately 525 publications listed in the References.
Valid names are arranged hierarchically and alphabetically according to the categories of subfamily, tribe, genus, subgenus, species, and subspecies. Synonyms are given for valid names of genera, subgenera, and species and are listed chronologically. Synonymic lists comprise taxa described from the Afrotropical Region, synonyms that have been used as valid names in the literature on Afrotropical Tachinidae, and (where known) misidentifications (given last in synonymic lists).
Each genus-group name is listed with the following information: genus name in italics and capital letters (and additionally in bold if valid, unless misidentified from the Afrotropics), author, year (with letter if applicable), page, note in parentheses if applicable (e.g., junior homonym, proposed as subgenus), type species with author and date, form of type fixation, and region of origin of type species in square brackets if not the Afrotropics. Each type species is cited in its original binomen (Recommendation 67B of the Code, ICZN 1999), and if that name is a synonym then it is followed by the valid name of the species in parentheses. We have invoked Article 70.3.2 of the Code (ICZN 1999) to fix the intended species as the type species for generic names that were based on misidentified type species. This maintains the concepts of these generic names as currently accepted and in prevailing usage. The genera so affected are listed below under “Summary of new taxonomic and nomenclatural changes”.
Type species were fixed by original designation, monotypy, subsequent designation, or in a few instances subsequent monotypy, except for type species newly fixed here for nominal genera based on misidentified type species. Fixation by original designation requires an explicit designation of a type species (Article 68.2 of the Code, ICZN 1999), so a new genus “proposed for” or “erected for” a single species has its type species fixed by monotypy. A new genus proposed before 1931 for a single species and accompanied by the expression “gen. n., sp. n.” or an equivalent also has its type species fixed by monotypy (Article 68.2.1). If, on the other hand, the new genus is proposed for more than one new species and the expression “gen. n., sp. n.” or an equivalent is applied to only one of the new species, then that species is fixed as type species by original designation (Article 68.2.1).
Species are listed by valid name followed by the available name(s) associated with it; i.e., the available name of the valid name plus synonyms. The valid name is represented by the valid specific epithet in bold and italics (in italics only if questionably recorded or misidentified from the Afrotropics) followed by the author, date (no letter), and known distribution. Author and date are enclosed in parentheses if the species has moved from its original genus. The distribution is given first for the Afrotropical Region and then for other regions as explained under “Geographic divisions” and “Distributional data”. Each available name is given in italics in its original combination and spelling followed by author, year (with letter if applicable to match a publication listed in the References), page, and a note in parentheses if applicable (e.g., junior homonym, subsequent spelling). A questionable synonym is preceded by a question mark (e.g., “? Ocyptera cribrata Villeneuve”). Given next is name-bearing type information consisting of status (holotype, lectotype, neotype, or syntypes), sex (of single type, or number and sex of syntypes), type depository (in parentheses), and type locality. If a neotype or lectotype was designated then a citation is given to the designation. Additional information may be given in parentheses with the type depository to cite the number and sex of syntypes existing in a collection if that number is different from the information given in the original description, or if the original description did not provide details about the type series; also, a reference may be cited wherein information can be found about the name-bearing type.
A subsequent spelling of a generic or specific name can be an incorrect subsequent spelling (which is not an available name) or an unjustified emendation (which is an available name with its own author and date). Incorrect subsequent spellings encountered during this study are cited but there are certainly others that escaped our notice. In a departure from the catalogue of

Name-bearing types
We follow the same method developed by
Type(s), male: One or more males. This citation is used for a species described from the male sex without indication of whether a single male (i.e., a holotype) or more than one male (i.e., syntypes) comprised the type series.
Type(s), female: One or more females. See “Type(s), male”.
Type(s), unspecified sex: One or more specimens with no indication of sex.
Syntypes, [number] male[s] and [number] female[s] (e.g., “Syntypes, 3 males and 2 females”): Species described from an indicated number of males and females.
Syntypes, males and females: Species described from both sexes but the number of each sex was not given.
Syntypes, males: Species described from more than one male but without indication of the number of males.
Syntypes, females: Species described from more than one female but without indication of the number of females.
Syntypes, unspecified number and sex: Species described from more than one specimen but without indication of sex or number of specimens.
Avoidance of assumption of holotype
In following the foregoing format we have complied with Recommendation 73F of the Code (ICZN 1999), “Avoidance of assumption of holotype”, which states: “Where no holotype or syntype was fixed for a nominal species-group taxon established before 2000, and when it is possible that the nominal species-group taxon was based on more than one specimen, an author should proceed as though syntypes may exist and, where appropriate, should designate a lectotype rather than assume a holotype (see also Article 74.6)”. See
By following Recommendation 73F of the Code, assumed holotypes take on the status of syntypes. The recommendation favors “where appropriate” the designation of lectotypes. We have combined the spirit of Recommendation 73F and the provisions of Article 74.5 of the Code (ICZN 1999) to recognize certain published statements (as discussed in next section) about assumed holotypes as lectotype fixations. This follows
Lectotypifications
There are two types of lectotypification in zoological nomenclature, explicit and implicit. In the former, a single syntype in a type series is designated as lectotype; in the latter, there is some form of statement that can be construed as the selection of a single name-bearing type. We follow
“In a lectotype designation made before 2000, either the term ‘lectotype’, or an exact translation or equivalent expression (e.g. ‘the type’), must have been used or the author must have unambiguously selected a particular syntype to act as the unique name-bearing type of the taxon. When the original work reveals that the taxon had been based on more than one specimen, a subsequent use of the term ‘holotype’ does not constitute a valid lectotype designation unless the author, when wrongly using that term, explicitly indicated that he or she was selecting from the type series that particular specimen to serve as the name-bearing type”.
What constitutes a valid lectotypification (or lectotype fixation in our terminology) in the foregoing is largely dependent on how one interprets the passage about an author explicitly indicating “that he or she was selecting from the type series that particular specimen to serve as the name-bearing type”. At one end of the spectrum is the mere mention of a “holotype” or “type” by a subsequent author when the original type series clearly consisted of two or more syntypes. This statement does not constitute a lectotype fixation because the “holotype” is not distinguishable from other syntypes. At the other end of the spectrum is the mention of a “holotype” or “type” with accompanying details about its labelling, features, damage, etc. that clearly distinguishes that specimen from other syntypes; or perhaps there is only one type specimen in a collection and it is an “assumed holotype” (see section above) for a species described from an unspecified number of specimens. We considered these latter statements about a single type to qualify as lectotype fixations under Article 74.5 because they contain an explicit indication that an author accepted the cited “holotype” as the name-bearing type and restricted the term to a single recognizable specimen in a collection. We encountered many “holotype” statements that were not so easily interpretable as the aforementioned ones. For these, we adopted the criteria that there had to be reasonable grounds to believe the information provided would permit the “holotype” or “type” to be recognized in a collection, and we generally required some additional data beyond the mere mention of a “holotype” or “type”, for a statement to qualify as a lectotype fixation.
Type localities
Type localities are cited first by country and then by location within that country from larger to smaller geographic area or place. Spellings of geographic areas and places largely follow The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World (
The type localities of almost 30 nominal species were published as the Rwenzori (often published as “Ruwenzori”) Range on the border of D.R. Congo and Uganda, frequently with additional data.
Criteria for citing type localities from Sweden, and for nominal species described by Meigen, are explained in
Collections housing name-bearing types
The location of the name-bearing type (holotype, lectotype, neotype, or syntypes) is cited for each nominal species, where known. The collections housing these name-bearing types are listed below with the acronyms used in the text. We largely accepted as accurate the statements about the deposition of name-bearing types given in the original literature unless we had reason to doubt the information given (e.g., types known to have been relocated or are presumed lost). We personally examined many of the types cited in

Geographic divisions
The known distribution of each tachinid species recorded from the Afrotropical Region is given next to the valid name in the following order: Afrotropical Region, Palaearctic Region, Oriental Region, Australasian and Oceanian regions [cited as Australasian for brevity], Nearctic Region, and Neotropical Region. Each of these regions is subdivided according to the scheme explained below. Areas close to the Afrotropical Region are subdivided more finely than those that are distant from it. Spellings of countries and areas within countries follow, with few exceptions, The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World (

New type species fixations
Article 70.3.2 of the Code (ICZN 1999) allows the type species of a nominal genus to be fixed as the species intended by the original author if the type species designated by that author was misidentified. We have invoked Article 70.3.2 for the two instances of misidentified type species in this catalogue that had not been dealt with previously (e.g.,
Lydellina Villeneuve, 1916c: 490. Type species newly fixed as Lydellina villeneuvei Townsend, 1933. Valid generic name.
Sericophoromyia Austen, 1909: 95. Type species newly fixed as Tachina quadrata Wiedemann, 1830. Synonym of Winthemia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830.
Lectotype designations
Lectotypes are designated for the following nominal species (see Lectotype Designations section).
Degeeria crocea Villeneuve, 1950. This is a valid name in the genus Medina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, as Medina crocea (Villeneuve).

New taxa of Afrotropical Tachinidae
Seven new genera are described below to accommodate five described and eight new species that do not fit within the generic concepts of other Tachinidae. They are described here to allow the catalogue above to more accurately reflect the known generic diversity of Afrotropical Tachinidae. A key to identify these genera within the broader context of all Afrotropical genera of Tachinidae will appear in the upcoming Manual of Afrotropical Diptera (as discussed in the Introduction). Morphological terms follow
Dexiinae, Dexiini
Mesnilotrix , gen. n.
Type species
Dexiotrix empiformis Mesnil, 1976, by present designation.
Etymology
Mesnilotrix is a composite word formed from the surname of Louis Paul Mesnil (the author of the type species) and the suffix of the generic name Dexiotrix Villeneuve. The name alludes to the morphological external similarity of empiformis to members of Dexiotrix that led Mesnil to describe the species in Dexiotrix.
Diagnosis
Compound eye bare. Antenna at most as long as height of gena. Arista plumose, with total width of arista and microtrichia 3.0–3.7 times as wide as width of postpedicel. Frontal setae descending to above level of upper margin of scape. Parafacial bare, about 2 times as wide as width of postpedicel. Facial ridge slightly concave, with fine decumbent setulae on lower 1/4 (or slightly more). Vibrissa arising distinctly above level of lower facial margin; subvibrissal ridge well developed with a row of 3–5 setae. Face concave with a small, narrow carina, not dividing antennae and not visible in laterial view. Genal dilation not developed. Upper occiput with several long black setulae not arranged in rows. Gena about 0.5 times as high as compound eye. Prementum about 2 times as long as wide. Palpus short, 2/3–3/4 as long as prementum, cylindrical (i.e., not inflated apically), with several long black setulae on apical 1/2. Proepisternum and prosternum bare. Postpronotum with 2–3 setae (if 3, then arranged in a line); lateral postpronotal seta enormously developed (Fig.

Filistea , gen. n.
Type species
Viviania aureofasciata Curran, 1927, by present designation.
Etymology
The holotype of our new species Filistea verbekei below bears a label written by Verbeke identifying it by the unpublished generic name “Filistea”. We have chosen to use this name for our new genus, although we do not know its meaning or etymology. It is to be treated as a feminine noun.
Diagnosis
An attractively patterned fly. Thoracic dorsum with a black submedian postsutural spot and two or four black presutural vittae standing out against the golden-microtomentose scutum. Ground colour of body black. Abdominal tergites 3 to 5 each with a distinct basal band of golden microtomentum strongly contrasting with black remainder. Wing almost entirely brown coloured. Compound eye bare. Ocellar setae well developed, proclinate. Frons 0.52–0.62 (male), 0.90–1.05 (female) times as wide as compound eye in dorsal view. Outer vertical seta not differentiated from postocular setae in both sexes. Two upper reclinate orbital setae (only 1 in a male from D.R. Congo). Male without, female with 2 proclinate orbital setae. Parafacial bare below lower frontal seta. Parafacial at its narrowest point 0.9–2.0 times as wide as width of postpedicel. Facial ridge straight or slightly concave, with short, fine, decumbent setulae on lower 1/5–1/4 of its length. Lower facial margin not visible in lateral view. Antenna arising above level of middle of eye height when head seen in lateral view. Postpedicel 2.2–2.9 times as long as pedicel. Arista apparently bare (i.e., longest microtrichia distinctly shorter than maximum basal diameter of arista), thickened on basal 1/4–1/3. First aristomere shorter than wide; second aristomere about as long as wide. Genal dilation well developed. Occiput flat to slightly concave. Lower occiput and postgena covered with pale setulae. Upper occiput with one or more rows of black occipital setulae. Vibrissa arising above level of lower facial margin. Palpus varying from cylindrical to slightly clavate. Prementum not more that 3.5 times as long as wide. Prosternum usually bare, rarely with 1–5 fine setulae laterally. Proepisternal depression bare. Proepisternal seta present. Postpronotum with 3 setae arranged in a line or in a shallow triangle. Scutum with 1 + 3 intra-alar setae; 2–3 + 3 dorsocentral setae; 3 + 3 acrostichal setae. First postsutural supra-alar seta shorter than first postsutural intra-alar seta, shorter than first postsutural dorsocentral seta and at most as long as notopleural setae. Katepimeron bare. Three katepisternal setae (2+1). Scutellum with 5 pairs of marginal setae: one pair of apical setae, crossed and sub-horizontal; one pair of subapical setae, well developed and divergent; two pairs of lateral setae (anterior pair shorter and less divergent than posterior pair); one pair of converging basal setae. Wing cell r4+5 narrowly open at wing margin. Mid tibia with 2 or more anterodorsal setae and a strong ventral seta. Hind coxa bare posterodorsally. Hind tibia with a row of anterodorsal setae irregular in length and thickness and 2 or 3 dorsal preapical setae. Mid-dorsal depression of abdominal syntergite 1+2 reaching posterior margin of syntergite. Syntergite 1+2 with 1 pair of median marginal setae; tergite 3 with one pair or a complete row of marginal setae; tergite 4 with a complete row of marginal setae. Tergites 3 and 4 with median discal setae.
Remarks
The bare compound eye, the vibrissa arising far above lower facial margin, the presence of robust, crossed and horizontal apical scutellar setae, together with a usually bare prosternum and an unmodified oviscapt are the main character states that separate Filistea from the other Afrotropical Blondeliini. Moreover, the unique colour pattern of the body and the darkened wing membrane make Filistea easily identifiable among Afrotropical tachinids. We also examined all available keys to genera of other regions and compared our specimens with blondeliine descriptions and specimens in collections, paying special attention to those of the Palaearctic and Oriental regions, and did not find any basis for assigning F. aureofasciata and F. verbekei to a known genus. We thus erect a new genus for these two Afrotropical species.

Remarks
The genus Argyrophylax is widespread in the Neotropical, Oriental and Australasian regions and a few species reach the southern Nearctic and eastern Palaearctic regions. The type species of Argyrophylax (the New World species A. albincisus (Wiedemann, 1830)), as well as other congeners of which the reproductive system has been examined, is characterized by a long and convoluted common oviduct retaining hundreds of microtype, plano-convex, fully embryonated eggs. Females of Afrophylax aureiventris have a different reproductive strategy and lay macrotype membranous eggs and cannot be assigned to Argyrophylax. Moreover, we have determined that this species does not fit within the limits of an existing tachinid genus (see diagnosis) and propose for it the new genus Afrophylax.
Carceliathrix , gen. n.
Type species
Phorocera crassipalpis Villeneuve, 1938, by present designation.
Etymology
The compound name Carceliathrix is formed from the generic name Carcelia Robineau-Desvoidy and the Greek noun thrix (meaning hair). Carceliathrix resembles Carcelia in possessing a narrow gena and a setose posterodorsal margin of the hind coxa. The suffix thrix refers to the row of setae on the facial ridge.
Diagnosis
Compound eye covered with thick, long ommatrichia (each ommatrichium clearly longer than diameter of 3 eye facets). Frontal vitta normally developed, about 1/2–2/3 as wide as fronto-orbital plate measured at midlength. Ocellar seta well developed, proclinate. No proclinate orbital setae in male, 2 in female. Parafacial bare. Facial ridge convex, with a row of strong, downcurved setae above vibrissa, on lower 1/2–2/3 of its length (Fig.
Carceliathrix Cerretti & O’Hara, gen. n. a male habitus in lateral view of C. crassipalpis (Villeneuve) (lectotype,
Remarks
A convex facial ridge characterized by having a row of strong, downcurved setae on lower 1/2−2/3 is the main, probably derived, character state that separates Carceliathrix from the widespread and speciose genus Carcelia. However, the compound eye covered with long ommatrichia, a narrow gena and setose facial ridge are traits shared by the anacamptomyiine genera Anacamptomyia and Parapales from which Carceliathrix is readily distinguished by having strong and proclinate ocellar setae, frontal vitta at least 1/2 as wide as width of fronto-orbital plate, postpronotum with the 3 strongest setae arranged in a triangle, and male without sexual patches on the abdominal tergites. We have determined that Phorocera crassipalpis Villeneuve and the two probably undescribed species from Namibia (sp. 1) and South Africa (sp. 2) listed below do not fit within the limits of an existing genus and propose for them the new genus Carceliathrix.

Myxophryxe , gen. n.
Type species
Phorocera longirostris Villeneuve, 1938, by present designation.
Etymology
The compound name Myxophryxe derives from the prefix of the generic name Myxogaedia Villeneuve (to which longirostris was assigned before this revision) and the generic name Phryxe Robineau-Desvoidy, which is morphologically similar.
Diagnosis
Compound eye covered with thick, long ommatrichia (longest ommatrichia longer than diameter of five eye facets). Ocellar setae well developed, proclinate. Frons 1.1–1.6 times as wide as compound eye in dorsal view. Parafacial bare or with a few short, fine setulae just below lower frontal seta. Parafacial flat or slightly convex, at its narrowest point 1.2–2.2 times as wide as width of postpedicel. Facial ridge straight or convex, with a row of strong, downcurved setae above vibrissa, on lower 4/5 or more of its length. Lower facial margin warped forward and slightly visible in lateral view. Postpedicel 3.9–6.3 times as long as pedicel. Arista apparently bare, thickened on basal 1/2–2/3. First aristomere shorter than wide; second aristomere about as long as wide. Genal dilation well developed. Gena in profile 0.25–0.50 times as high as compound eye. Lower occiput and postgena covered with mostly pale hair-like setulae. Upper occiput with one row of black occipital setulae. Vibrissa arising at level of lower facial margin. Palpus slightly clavate. Prementum varied. Prosternum with at least three long setulae along lateral margin. Proepisternal depression bare. Proepisternal seta present. Postpronotum with 4 or 5 setae, the 3 strongest basal ones arranged in a line. Scutum with 3 postsutural intra-alar setae; 3 + 4 dorsocentral setae; 3 presutural acrostichal setae. First postsutural supra-alar seta longer than notopleural setae and longer and stronger than first postsutural intra-alar seta. Katepimeron bare or with setulae on anterior 1/4–2/3. Three katepisternal setae (2+1). Scutellum with 4 pairs of marginal setae and 1 or 2 pairs of discal setae: apical scutellar setae crossed (sometimes converging and slightly crossed distally), sub-horizontal. Wing cell r4+5 open or closed at wing margin. Mid tibia with 2 anterodorsal setae (a short additional seta occasionally present) and a strong submedian ventral seta. Hind coxa bare posterodorsally. Mid-dorsal depression of abdominal syntergite 1+2 reaching posterior margin of syntergite. Syntergite 1+2 and tergite 3 with 1 pair of median marginal setae. Tergite 4 with a complete row of marginal setae. Tergites 3 and 4 without median discal setae (several robust, short median discal setae or setulae irregularly dispersed, sometimes barely distinguishable from general erect setulae).
Remarks
As mentioned in the Classification section above, it is not always possible to ascertain whether a given genus belongs to the Goniini (microtype egg producers) or the Eryciini (macrotype egg producers) relying only on external morphological characters. This is especially true when only males are available for examination as has been the case for Myxophryxe. In spite of this, we propose here to tentatively assign Myxophryxe to the Goniini given the close morphological similarity of males to those of the goniine genus Myxogaedia. Myxophryxe is characterized by having the parafacial bare or with a few fine, short setulae below the lower frontal seta, arista thickened on basal 1/2–2/3, preapical anterodorsal seta of fore tibia varying from shorter to as long as preapical dorsal seta, and hind tibia with two or three dorsal preapical setae. In contrast, species of Myxogaedia have the parafacial with at least some strong, pro-medioclinate setae on upper 1/2, arista thickened on basal 4/5 to its whole length, preapical anterodorsal seta of fore tibia distinctly longer than preapical dorsal seta, and hind tibia with four or five dorsal preapical setae. Nevertheless, we cannot exclude that future investigation of the reproductive strategy of Myxophryxe species may change the current classification.

Remarks
A robust body, broad head and wide parafacial covered with short setae make specimens of Stiremania easily mistaken for those of Sturmiopsis and Pseudalsomyia. However, Sturmiopsis is characterized by having the antenna distinctly longer than height of the gena, parafacial not wider than width of postpedicel, two katepisternal setae, and mid tibia with two anterodorsal setae. Also, females of Sturmiopsis species produce macrotype, membranous eggs, thus placing the genus in the tribe Eryciini. Females of Stiremania karoo, on the other hand, produce microtype, planoconvex eggs, which is the reproductive strategy of goniines. Within the Goniini, Stiremania is similar and perhaps closely related to Pseudalsomyia with which it shares, in addition to the character states it shares with both Sturmiopsis and Pseudalsomyia, a very short and narrow antenna and broadly convex parafacial. Pseudalsomyia differs from Stiremania by having one upper reclinate orbital seta, vibrissa almost indistinct from setae on facial ridge, two lateral scutellar setae, two katepisternal setae, mid tibia with one anterodorsal seta, and male possessing sexual patches on abdominal tergites 3 and 4. We have determined that the two new species described below do not fit within the limits of an existing genus and propose for them the new genus Stiremania.

Stiremania robusta , sp. n.
Type material
Holotype ♂: “Capland/ Willowmore/ März 1935/ Dr. Brauns” (NMDA).
Etymology
The specific epithet derives from the Latin adjective robustus meaning stout, alluding to the robustness of this species, mostly due to its thick, short legs.
Description
Body length: 8–9 mm.
Male differs from that of S. karoo as follows:

Austrosolieria , gen. n.
Type species
Austrosolieria londti Cerretti & O’Hara, sp. n., by present designation.
Etymology
Austrosolieria is a composite word formed from the prefix of the Latin adjective austrīnus, meaning southern, and the generic name Solieria Robineau-Desvoidy, which is morphologically similar.
Diagnosis
Compound eye bare. Ocellar setae well developed, proclinate. Frons 1.2–1.6 times as wide as compound eye in dorsal view. Parafacial bare, convex, at its narrowest point 1.1–1.3 times as wide as width of postpedicel. Facial ridge convex (slightly concave just above vibrissa), with 2–3 fine setulae on lower 1/6. Lower facial margin not warped forward and not visible in lateral view. Postpedicel sub-rectangular (more or less sharply pointed at apex in male), about 1.4–1.6 times as long as pedicel. Arista apparently bare; thickened on approximately basal 1/4. First aristomere shorter than wide; second aristomere about as long as wide. Genal dilation well developed, with several strong setae on anterior 1/2. Gena in profile 0.4–0.6 times as high as compound eye. Lower occiput and postgena covered with mostly pale hair-like setulae. Upper occiput with at least a few black occipital setulae. Vibrissa well developed, arising at level of lower facial margin. Prementum short and relatively narrow, palpus clubbed, well developed. Prosternum and proepisternal depression bare. Proepisternal seta present, well developed. Postpronotum with 2–5 setae. Katepimeron bare. Three katepisternal setae (2+1). Presutural intra-alar seta absent. Two or 3 postsutural intra-alar setae (if 2, then setae separated by a distance less than that between first seta and transverse suture). First postsutural supra-alar seta shorter than notopleural setae and first postsutural dorsocentral seta. Two or 3 presutural and 3 postsutural dorsocentral setae. Zero to 2 presutural acrostichal setae. Scutellum with 2 pairs of strong, slightly diverging marginal setae subequal in size: basal and subapical. Costal spine strong, 1.5–3.5 times as long as crossvein r-m (Fig.

Remarks
To our knowledge, species of Austrosolieria are not easily confused with those of any other Afrotropical genus. However, the habitus of Austrosolieria species and the combination of a wide frons, bare prosternum, three postsutural dorsocentral setae, two strong marginal scutellar setae (subapical and basal), hind tibia with short and weak preapical posteroventral seta, and costal spine well developed, are reminiscent of the Palaearctic genera Solieria, Bithia Robineau-Desvoidy, and, in part, Clausicella Rondani. Austrosolieria differs from these by having the lower facial margin not protruding and not visible in lateral view, fore tibia with preapical anteroventral seta distinctly longer than preapical dorsal seta, and postpedicel more or less sharply pointed at apex in male. We have determined that the two new species described below do not fit within the limits of an existing tachinid genus and propose for them the new genus Austrosolieria.

Acknowledgements
A large taxonomic catalogue like this one is never entirely accurate and complete in the nomenclatural and type information it presents because such works rely on the compilation and verification of data contained within hundreds of publications spanning about 250 years and type specimens housed in a multitude of collections. Within this context, we are especially indebted to the numerous curators and colleagues who assisted this project by providing us with information about their holdings and/or welcoming us into their institutions so we could study for ourselves the tachinid collections therein. We are especially thankful for the assistance of the following: Paolo Audisio and Maurizio Mei (
It is our pleasure to thank fellow dipterist Neal L. Evenhuis (Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, Honolulu, USA) for his thoughts and advice on nomenclatural and bibliographic issues. We participated in an expedition to South Africa in 2012 with Ashley H. Kirk-Spriggs (
