Two new species of Neurigona Rondani from northern and northeastern Brazil (Diptera, Dolichopodidae)

Abstract

Two new species of Neurigona Rondani from northern and northeastern Brazil (Diptera, Dolichopodidae). Two new species of Neurigona Rondani (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) of the brevitibia-group are described from northern and northeastern Brazil: N. lenae sp. nov. and N. manauara sp. nov. A key to males of the brevitibia-group is provided.

Dipterological survey in Mitaraka Massif (French Guiana) reveals megadiverse dolichopodid fauna with an unprecedented species richness in Paraclius Loew, 1864 (Diptera: Dolichopodidae)

“…Yang et al (2006) listed nearly 1300 species for the neotropical realm, which is -surprisingly -over 100 species fewer than reported from the Palaearctic region. It is obvious that this is only a fraction of the extant neotropical fauna, which is confirmed by the permanent stream of new species described from this part of the world (Bickel 2006(Bickel , 2007(Bickel , 2015Brooks & cumming 2008Brooks & cumming , 2009Brooks et al 2010;capellari 2013a, b, 2015acapellari & Amorim 2009capellari & Amorim , 2010capellari & Amorim , 2011capellari & Amorim , 2014naglis 2011;Runyon 2015;Grichanov 2017). And many more neotropical species await to be discovered or described (e.g.…”

The genus Neurigona Rondani, 1856 (Diptera, Dolichopodidae) from Yunnan, China, with descriptions of seven new species and a key to the species of China

“… Neurigona is the most speciose genus of the Neurigoninae with 166 known species from the world, of which 44 species are from the Palaearctic, 44 from the Neotropical, 39 from the Nearctic, 32 from the Oriental, four from the Australian, and three from the Afrotropical realms ( De Meijere 1916 ; Becker 1922 ; Parent 1935 , 1944 ; Dyte 1975 ; Negrobov 1987 , 1991 ; Negrobov and Fursov 1988 ; Pârvu 1996 ; Yang 1999 ; Yang and Saigusa 2001a , b , 2005 ; Naglis 2003 ; Zhang et al 2003 ; Wang et al 2006 , 2007 , 2010 , 2020 ; Yang et al 2006 , 2011 ; Grichanov 2010 ; Capellari 2013 ; Grootaert and Foo 2019 ; Da Silva et al 2022 ; Kazerani et al 2022 ). Thirty-one species were known to occur in China ( Wang et al 2010 ; Yang et al 2006 , 2011 , 2018 ).…”
