TL;DR: An alternative hypothesis is suggested, that of a Gondwanan origin for the Neotropical anthomyiids, that is distributed mainly in southeastern South America and the other from northwestern South America to southern North America.
Abstract: . The anthomyiid fly genus Coenosopsia Malloch contained five species geographically restricted to the forests of the New World, from southern U.S.A. to southeastern Brazil and Paraguay. Two new species are described here from the Brazilian Cerrado: C. ferrari sp.n. and C. michelseni sp.n. Viviparity in C. brasiliensis Michelsen and C. peruviana Michelsen is reported and discussed. A cladistic analysis of the genus was performed using Fannia bahiensis Albuquerque (Fanniidae), Polietina orbitalis (Stein) (Muscidae), Anthomyia pluripunctata (Albuquerque), Delia platura (Meigen) and Phaonantho benevola Couri (Anthomyiidae) as outgroups. The analysis was carried out using three character weighting schemes: equal, successive and implied weighting. In the phylogenetic relationship ((C. ferrari, C. brasiliensis) (C. peruviana (C. prima (C. michelseni (C. floridensis, C. mexicana))))), two major clades were found, one distributed mainly in southeastern South America and the other from northwestern South America to southern North America. Reconciling the phylogeny with the available distributional data, a biogeographical analysis of the genus is proposed and discussed. The pattern found for Coenosopsia corroborated a previously proposed model of vicariance events for the Neotropical region. Although the presence of anthomyiid fauna in the region was explained previously on the basis of the North-to-South America dispersal, we suggest an alternative hypothesis, that of a Gondwanan origin for the Neotropical anthomyiids.

TL;DR: Five species are recognized in the Anthomyia pluvialis complex from Europe; two new synonyms are established; and six names, which are considered nomina dubia due to inadequate descriptions and loss of types, are deleted from the synonymy of pluvials.
Abstract: . Five species are recognized in the Anthomyia pluvialis complex from Europe: bazini Seguy, imbrida Rondani, pluvialis (Linnaeus), procellaris Rondani, and quinquemuculata Macquart. A key for identification, diagnoses, figures of male genitalia, and distribution records are provided and notes are given on all available types with three lectotype designations; two new synonyms are established. Six names, which are considered nomina dubia due to inadequate descriptions and loss of types, are deleted from the synonymy of pluvialis. The Afrotropical A.benguellae Malloch is a new synonym of A. quinquemaculata Macquart, described from the Canary Islands.

TL;DR: This paper deals with the 185 new species-group taxa that P. M. Macquart described in the dipteran families Fanniidae, Anrfiomyiidae and Muscidae, together with a further 5 species- groupTaxa that belong to other families, 9 replacement names that he proposed, and 1 nomen nudum.
Abstract: This paper deals with the 185 new species-group taxa that P. J. M. Macquart described in the dipteran families Fanniidae, Anrfiomyiidae and Muscidae, together with a further 5 species-group taxa that belong to other families, 9 replacement names that he proposed, and 1 nomen nudum. Notes are provided on the Diptera collections on which Macquart worked. In the Fanniidae, there are 8 species (and 1 replacement name), in Anthomyiidae, 33 species (and 4 replacement names), and in Muscidae, 144 species (and 4 replacement names). 85 lectotypes are newly designated in order to fix the identity of the names. The following new synonyms are proposed: in Anthomyiidae: Chortophila angusta Macquart, 1835 = Botanophila striolata (Fallen, 1824); Pegomyia basilaris Macquart, 1835 = Pegomya solennis (Meigen, 1826); Anthomyia brunnipennis Macquart, 1835, and Anthomyia fuscipennis Macquart, 1835 = Pegoplata aestiva (Meigen, 1826); Hylemyia caesia Macquart, 1835 = Anthomyia liturata (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830); Chorto...

TL;DR: The Anthomyiidae (root-maggot flies) of the Canaries are revised and four species are described as new, viz.
Abstract: The Anthomyiidae (root-maggot flies) of the Canaries are revised. Altogether 24 species in 9 genera are recorded. Four species are described as new, viz. Pegomya canariensis, Anthomyia confusanea, Leucophora canariensis and L. subsponsa. In addition, Pegomya lateropunctata sp. n. is described from Madeira. Pegomya suaedivora Hering (type locality: France) is synonymized with P. suaedae Hering (syn. n.). Delia cilitarsis Hennig is regarded a distinct species, not a subspecies of D. platura (Meigen). A key to males and females is provided. Local distribution of the species, both ecological and geographical, is considered, and the anthomyiid fauna of the other Macaronesian archipelagos is reviewed. The origin of the Canarian anthomyiid fauna is discussed. The species all seem to be descended from the fauna of the Mediterranean subregion and can be regarded either as (1) introduced, (2) indigenous, or (3) endemic to the Canaries. Apparently endemic Canarian species are Pegomya canariensis sp. n., P. vittithorax (Stein), Hylemya latevittata Stein, Leucophora canariensis sp. n., Delia canariensis Hennig and D. cilitarsis Hennig.

TL;DR: The afrotropical Anthomyia species are revised to include 19 species and ten new species are described: acutula, concave, latilamina, malagasica, parapluvialis, stuckenbergi, subabyssinica, subornata, verecunda, and whitei.
Abstract: The afrotropical Anthomyia species are revised to include 19 species Ten new species are described: acutula, concave, latilamina, malagasica, parapluvialis, stuckenbergi, subabyssinica, subornata, verecunda, and whitei Four new synonymies are established : Anthomyia griseobasis Malloch, 1924 = Anthomyia maculigena Stein, 1913; Anthomyia inda Ackland & Pont, 1977 (new name for indica Malloch, 1924, preocc) = Anthomyia benguellae Malloch, 1924; Anthomyia spinigera Malloch, 1924 = Anthomyia abyssinica Jaennicke, 1867; Hylemyia fasciata Walker, 1858 = Anthomyia amoena (Macquart, 1851) The majority of the afrotropical species (16 including those described in this paper) belong to the recently proposed Anthomyia pluvialis section (Griffiths 2001), which corresponds to Anthomyia in the previously restricted sense The remaining three species belong to Griffiths' A liturata subsection In addition to the A pluvialis superspecies (already characterised by Griffiths), three new superspecies groups are proposed for the afrotropical species in the A pluvialis section : the A ornate superspecies, the A amoena superspecies, and theA abyssinica superspecies; one species (concave) is treated as a species sola
