“…SMITH (1967) considered it a junior synonym of Macrostomus. Porphyrochroa was eventually revalidated by RAFAEL (2001) to receive one of the species, P. fasciventris (Curran), that CURRAN (1931) originally described in the genus Axelempis. The present study of the type-species and other included species reveals that the Porphyrochroa is related to Macrostomus and belongs to a distinct monophyletic lineage.…”

Macrostomus ferrugineus (Fabricius, 1805), the type-species of Macrostomus Wiedemann, 1817 and Porphyrochroa palliata (Coquillett, 1902), the type-species of Porphyrochroa Melander, 1927 are redescribed and figured from the types. Both Neotropical genera are considered sistergroups and their synapomorphies are presented. The species belonging to both genera, and those Neotropical species remaining in the heterogeneous group Rhamphomyia Meigen, 1822 are listed. A key to genera is provided, 25 species are transferred to Porphyrochroa: P. abdominalis (Bezzi, 1905) comb. nov., P. argyrina (Bezzi, 1909) comb. nov., P. barueri (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. carrerai (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. catarinae (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. cyanogaster (Wheeler & Melander, 1901) comb. nov., P. digitata (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. distinctipennis (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. divisa (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. dolichocera (Bezzi, 1905) comb. nov., P. fasciventris (Curran, 1931), P. furcifer (Wheeler & Melander, 1901) comb. nov., P. galactodes (Bezzi, 1909) comb. nov., P. juri (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. micrargyra (Bezzi, 1909) comb. nov., P. monstrosa (Bezzi, 1909) comb. nov., P. mundurucu (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. mura (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. orthoneura (Bezzi, 1905) comb. nov., P. palliata (Coquillett, 1902), P. penicillata (Bezzi, 1909) comb. nov., P. perpulchra (Bezzi, 1909) comb. nov., P. pulchriventris (Bezzi, 1905) comb. nov., P. rotundipennis (Bezzi, 1905) comb. nov., P. seticauda (Smith, 1963) comb. nov., P. variseta (Smith, 1962) comb. nov. and P. wiedemanni (Smith, 1962) comb. nov. A lectotype is designated for P. palliata (Coquillett, 1902).
Macrostomus ferrugineus (Fabricius, 1805), espécie-tipo de Macrostomus Wiedemann, 1817 e Porphyrochroa palliata (Coquillett, 1902), espécie-tipo de Porphyrochroa Melander, 1927 são redescritas e ilustradas a partir dos tipos. Os dois gêneros são neotropicais, considerados grupo-irmãos e suas sinapomorfias são apresentadas. São listadas as espécies pertencentes a ambos os gêneros e as espécies neotropicais que permanecem no gênero heterogêneo Rhamphomyia Meigen, 1822. Uma chave é fornecida para separação dos gêneros próximos e 25 espécies são transferidas ao gênero Porphyrochroa: P. abdominalis (Bezzi, 1905) comb. nov., P. argyrina (Bezzi, 1909) comb. nov., P. barueri (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. carrerai (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. catarinae (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. cyanogaster (Wheeler & Melander, 1901) comb. nov., P. digitata (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. distinctipennis (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. divisa (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. dolichocera (Bezzi, 1905) comb. nov., P. fasciventris (Curran, 1931), P. furcifer (Wheeler & Melander, 1901) comb. nov., P. galactodes (Bezzi, 1909) comb. nov., P. juri (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. micrargyra (Bezzi, 1909) comb. nov., P. monstrosa (Bezzi, 1909) comb. nov., P. mundurucu (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. mura (Smith, 1962) comb. nov., P. orthoneura (Bezzi, 1905) comb. nov., P. palliata (Coquillett, 1902), P. penicillata ...

“…Smith (1967) considered it as a junior synonym of Macrostomus, being reinstated by Rafael (2001) based on the following hypothesized synapomorphies: (1) male tergite 8 with few setae confined posterolaterally; (2) male tergite 7 with posteroventral protuberance; (3) abdomen metallic blue or blue-green in colour (this faint metallic lustre is characteristic of species of Porphyrochroa); described in detail in Mendonça et al (2008). Rafael (2001) also transferred Axelempis fasciventris Curran to the genus. A redescription of the group can also be found in Rafael and Cumming (2004).…”

The tribe Empidini (Diptera: Empididae: Empidinae) is a diverse group with fourteen genera, seven of which are exclusive to the Neotropical region: Bolrhamphomyia Rafael, Chilerhamphomyia Rafael, Hystrichonotus Collin, Lamprempis Wheeler and Melander, Macrostomus Wiedemann, Opeatocerata Melander and Porphyrochroa Melander. Although Empidini itself is likely paraphyletic, many presumably monophyletic genera and species groups are recognized. Here, we apply DNA sequences from multiple genes to infer the phylogeny of Empidini, focusing on placing the Neotropical lineages within the entire tribe and identifying monophyletic groups. We included 98 Empidini taxa along with 18 outgrous terminals, spanning the diversity within the group. The results from the analyses performed are largely similar, with major groupings of genera in common. Specifically, the analyses recovered a monophyletic Hilarini and a paraphyletic Empidini. Most species from Chile and Argentina (Andean region) are found to belong to an early branching lineage within Empidinae, and are not monophyletic with other Empidini. A large portion of the remaining Neotropical Empidini (not Andean) comprises a single clade that includes four endemic genera and a number of Neotropical Empis Linneaus species. Macrostomus and Porphyrochroa each recovered as monophyletic and sister to one another, although generic placement of a few taxa remains uncertain due to conflicting morphological features. Lamprempis+Opeatocerata are also found to be sister-taxa in most analyses. Several large genera were found to be polyphyletic or paraphyletic including Empis and Rhamphomyia Meigen. We evaluate our findings and discuss them in light of current Empidinae taxonomy.
