“…The first two species of Kelloggina were described at the end of the 19 th century, K. torrentium (Müller, 1881) and K. rufescens (Williston, 1893). Lutz (1920) described an additional 16 species from Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Santa Catarina Brazilian states. After that, two further species were described based on male adults, K. brevicornia (Edwards, 1929) and K. chilena (Alexander, 1952), from Misiones, Argentina and Santiago, Chile, respectively (Hogue, 1971).…”

“…Comparing the species described by Lutz (1920) with Lane & d'Andretta's (1956) is a difficult task. The delimitations of Lutz's species were clearly based on the immatures; in contrast, Lane & d'Andretta's exclusive reliance on adults.…”

“…As stated by Hogue (1971), both studies focused on the same area of southeastern Brazil and there may be some overlapped species. Lutz (1920) provided useful descriptions of the immatures, which are richly illustrated, but did not provide the same treatment to adults, which are neither well described, nor well illustrated. On the other hand, Lane & d'Andretta (1956) presented superficial descriptions of adults.…”
Kelloggina Williston, 1907 is one of the least studied Blephariceridae genera in the world, despite being the most diverse in the Neotropics with 34 species. We provide a catalogue with the 14 nominal species of the genus described by Lane and d’Andretta from the Southeastern Region of Brazil, of which the type-specimens are deposited at the Diptera Collection of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo. There are 60 specimens deposited at this museum, including male holotypes of 14 species and females “allotypes” (paratypes) for seven species. We include male diagnoses and photographs of the holotypes of all species.

“…His project remains unfortunately incomplete but revealed that many species still need to be described, despite several important early studies (mainly Mü ller, 1881aMü ller, , 1881bMü ller, , 1881cMü ller, , 1881dLutz, 1920;Edwards, 1929;Lane & d'Andretta, 1956).…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
