New species of Cyamops (Diptera: Opomyzoidea: Periscelididae) from the old and new world tropics

First records of Periscelididae (Diptera, Opomyzoidea) from French Guiana

“…Although this sampling improves our knowledge of Periscelididae, it does not represent the actual diversity of Periscelididae from French Guiana, given the greater diversity of the group in neighboring countries that share the same biome (Ale-Rocha and , Mathis and Rung 2011, Rung and Ale-Rocha 2011, Mathis et al 2012, Ale-Rocha et al 2014. Increasing samples from the country will undoubtedly produce a more reliable estimate of the diversity of this family from this part of South America.…”

“…The family currently comprises about 139 valid species in 10 extant genera and 1 extinct genus (Procya mops, known from Baltic amber); 52 species occur in the Neotropical Region, distributed in 9 genera (Mathis and Rung 2011, Mathis et al 2012, Rung and Ale-Rocha 2011, Ale-Rocha et al 2014).…”
