“…It should be noted that the posteroventral lobe is distinctly present in some Vermileonidae, e.g. Vermileo comstocki Wheeler, and has been confirmed in this study (see Nagatomi & Iwata, 1976, Fig. 32).…”

“…A sensory pit is present in many rhagionid genera, but there may be some variability within genera; for example, pits were observed in this study in Ptiolina and absent in Rhagio . However, Nagatomi & Iwata (1976) did not show pits in the former, but illustrated pits in the latter genus. These sensory pits are not present in taxa with a single‐segmented cercus and not present in Oreoleptis .…”

“…A one‐segmented cercus characterizes the Tabanidae + Athericidae sister pairing, although it is rather homoplastic in the lower Brachycera and also present in Austroleptis . The first cercal segment of Ptiolina lack the posteroventral lobe and this segment is well separated in contrast to Xylophagomorpha (Nagatomi & Iwata, 1976). The first cercal segment is also widely separated in Stratiomyidae, probably due to the broadly pointed tenth tergite (see Woodley, 1989, character 18).…”

A new genus of the Tabanomorpha, Oreoleptis, gen.n., assigned to the monotypic family Oreoleptidae, fam.n., is described from the Rocky Mountains of North America. The male, female, larva and pupa of Oreoleptis torrenticola, sp.n. are described and illustrated. Adults were reared from larvae collected from torrential streams and rivers, and from pupae collected from riverbanks. No adults have been collected yet in the field. The larvae have two pairs of very long, ventrolateral, crocheted prolegs on abdominal segments 2-7, and a short, dorsal pair on segments 6-7. The larval head and mouthparts resemble those of athericids and tabanids. The mandibular hook has an internal canal, the basal mandibular sclerite is compressed with both condyles coming together and articulating on the tentorial phragma; the mandibular brush is located on a vertical rod; and the salivary pump is greatly enlarged. The adult male genitalia have aedeagal tines similar to athericids, tabanids and Bolbomyia Loew, the hypandrium is fused with the gonocoxites, the epandrium is subrectangular, lying flat on the gonocoxites, and tergite 10 is present (a mixture of advanced and primitive features). The endoaedeagal process is reduced (as in athericids), and the gonocoxal apodemes are long and slender, an advanced condition shared by athericids and tabanids. The female has a long, extrusible postabdomen and ovipositor, two-segmented cerci, and the basal cercal segment has a prominent posteroventral lobe, typical of rhagionids and pelecorhynchids. Cladistic analysis assigns the genus Oreoleptis to sister group status of the Athericidae þ Tabanidae. However, wing venation, simple, unmodified female abdomen, undivided first tergite, and two-segmented female cercus, excludes this taxon from the Athericidae and Tabanidae. The relationships of the new family are discussed and the phylogeny of the higher Tabanomorpha reassessed.

“…Nenhum dos poucos estudos acerca da morfologia comparada das terminálias masculina e feminina de Brachycera (Nagatomi & Iwata, 1976;Nagatomi, 1984;Sinclair et al, 1994) propôs-se a investigar especificamente os gêneros de Rhagionidae com distribuição na Região Neotropical e nenhum deles o fez em um contexto filogenético explícito. O objetivo do presente trabalho é cobrir parte dessa lacuna.…”

Apresentamos uma investigação comparativa da morfologia das terminálias masculina e feminina de gêneros da família Rhagionidae (Diptera, Brachycera, Tabanomorpha) com distribuição neotropical. Partindo do plano básico de Brachycera, hipóteses de homologias entre as peças reprodutivas foram analisadas em um contexto comparativo. Os resultados sugerem que as condições presentes em Rhagionidae são no geral muito modificadas quando comparadas com o ancestral comum mais recente de Brachycera. Este trabalho apresenta uma hipótese filogenética heurística cujos resultados podem servir como base para o entendimento da grande diversificação morfológica das terminálias masculina e feminina dos ragionídeos, apontando para a solução de algumas controvérsias a respeito da morfologia das estruturas reprodutivas do grupo.

“…They concluded that Heterostomus curvipalpis is related to Pelecorhynchidae within Tabanomorpha. Thus, it could be reasonable to retain Sinonemestriidae as a subfamily within Heterostomidae erected by Nagatomi (1977), and place these taxa in Tabanomorpha.…”

A new species of Sinonemestrius Hong & Wang, 1990 is described and illustrated based on a complete compression fossil of the fly. Currently placed in Rhagionemestriidae or Xylophagidae, the present study concludes that the morphology of the new find indicates that Sinonemestrius is a heterostomid genus within Tabanomorpha. The placement of Ahirmoneura neimengguensis K-y Zhang et al., 2008 is reassessed. It demonstrates close similarities in body structure and wing venation to those of Sinonemestrius, and can be provisionally transferred from Nemestrinidae to Heterostomidae: Sinonemestriinae.
