Remarks. Takahashi (1940) mentioned “three pairs of minute setae present on the cephalothorax, a pair of similar ones on the basal abdominal segment and near the vasiform orifice.” We observed the setae were absent on first abdominal segment, the three setae are cephalic, meso- and metathoracic; dorsum with many geminate pores, the smaller pore always placed on white shade. Further, he noted “the vasiform orifice with a very small blunt median tubercle”, we observed the tubercle is absent in some of his mounted puparia of Cr. alpinus.

Physometopon vesicalis: Lindner, 1966b: 22. Incorrect original spelling.
When Lindner described Pseudoxymyia, he compared it with the South African genus Oxymyia Kertész and included two species, P. flavitarsis and P. parvicornis, in the genus. After examining the type specimens of P. flavitarsis and P. parvicornis [MNHN], it became clear that the two species do not belong in the same genus. The vein R2+3 originates beyond the crossvein r-m in P. parvicornis, while in P. flavitarsis this vein originates before the crossvein. The compact body shape and the white arista place P. parvicornis clearly in Cardopomyia.
In the description of Physometopon minor, Lindner stated that this is a small version of P. vesicularis and listed differences in the coloration of the legs and the setae on the thorax. We studied a male syntype [SMNS] and it is conspecific with Cardopomyia robusta, which is by far the most commonly collected Stratiomyidae from Madagascar.
We did not examine the holotype of Physometopon vesicularis, but we studied a male specimen identified as this species by Lindner and compared this with the description. It fits very well with material we have on hand from Madagascar, except that in the original description vein R4 is absent, while in most specimens of Cardopomyia the vein is present, but in rare cases the vein can be absent. Lindner (1968:16) stated that he found two males and one female of P. vesicularis in the Paris collection and that they are identical to the type specimen, except that they all have vein R4 present and therefore he corrected the diagnosis to having R4 normally present. Thus, we consider P. vesicularis a member of the genus Cardopomyia.

Himantochaeta cultellata Lindner, 1939: 10. ST 1 ♂, 1 ♀ [BMNH], 1 ♂ [SMNS]: Uganda: Ruwenzori, Namwamba Valley, 6500 feet.
We studied several syntypes [MNHN] of Nyplatys niger and a syntype of Himantochaeta cultellata [SMNS] as well as additional material of these species and came to the conclusion that both species are congeneric. Further studies are needed to determine how many species are in this genus, since from material on hand it seems that there are several different species in eastern Africa. In describing Nyplatys, Séguy (1938) compared it with Platynomyia Grünberg, which is strange, because Platynomyia is not only nearly twice the size of Nyplatys, but it has a white filiform last antennal flagellomere, while Nyplatys is characterized by its black laterally flattened last antennal flagellomere.

Lindner (1935) described the genus Hypoceromys and pointed out the similarity to Psapharomys Grünberg. But because of the more dorsally inserted arista-like last antennal flagellomere, he proposed this new genus. He was not aware of the strong sexual dimorphism in this genus (and in the related Psapharomys, see below). When he described Meristomeringella jamesi (Fig. 5), he compared the new genus with Meristomerinx Enderlein, which is strange because the two genera are not really similar, especially vein R2+3 arising distinctly distal to crossvein r–m in Meristomerinx and proximal to crossvein r–m in Meristomeringella. Only a year later he described Hypoxycera simplex and mentioned that the last antennal flagellomere was inserted slightly dorsad on the spindle shaped flagellum, which is also the case in Meristomeringella jamesi. We examined the type specimens of both species and concluded that they are conspecific, and that they belong in the genus Hypoceromys.
The holotype of Pachygaster nigripes (Fig. 6) has the antennae missing (as mentioned in the original description), but all other characters, such as the wing venation, shape of the head and body shape clearly place this species in the genus Hypoceromys.

We examined a female syntype [IRSNB] of Neopachygaster stigma (Fig. 7), the syntype series of N. umbrifera and additional material with an apical wing spot, and we could not find any differences among the specimens, so we therefore consider the two taxa as conspecific.

The very distinct Platyna hastata is a widespread species in the tropical parts of Africa, and is characterized by its very broad triangular shaped abdomen, the long antenna and the scutellum elongated into a spine. When Grünberg described P. denudata he stated that the main difference between it and P. hastata is the lack of the silver pubescence on the abdomen and he mentioned that he had several males and females of the new species. After examining the syntype specimens it became clear that he had only females (Fig. 9) of P. hastata, which have much less silver pubescence on the abdomen than the males (Fig. 8). Therefore we synonymize P. denudata under P. hastata.

Leucacron interruptum Lindner, 1966b: 19. HT ♀ [MNHN]: Madagascar: Périnet.
The type specimen of L. interruptum was examined and it shows a constriction at the base of the last antennal flagellomere, which Lindner noted in the description and which is an important character for this genus. Lindner compares Leucacron with the Oriental genus Lophoteles Loew but did not make any comments about the new genus following the description of Leucacron in his paper: Ptilinoxus. We consider the antenna of the only specimen of L. interruptum a teratological deformation and regard this genus as a synonym of Ptilinoxus. After examining a large number of Ptilinoxus (which comprises at least two species), we never found a single specimen with the antennal structure as found in the type specimen of L. interruptum.
Lindner (1979) listed two males of Lophoteles plumula from the Comoros [MNHN], but these specimens belong to the genus Ptilinoxus. The only records of Lophoteles in the Afrotropical Region are from the Seychelles (Kertész 1914, Woodley 2009).

We did not study the female holotype of Steleoceromys anthracina, but the description and illustrations are detailed enough that we are confident that all material we have examined is congeneric. The only discrepancy is that in our material vein CuA forms nearly a right angle with Cu and CuP (Fig. 38), while the wing illustration in Grünberg (1915) shows vein CuA at a slightly wider angle. But because all the other characters are in accordance with our material we think that the illustration might not be correct. The female holotype of Psapharomydops procera (Fig. 11) was examined [MRAC] and fits the description of Steleceromys very well. We have several undescribed species of Steleoceromys on hand.

Gobertina picticornis Bigot, 1879b: 192. ST 2 ♂, 6 ♀ [BMNH]: Sierra Leone. Gobertina argentea Bigot, 1879b: 193. ST 3 ♂, 1 ♀ [BMNH]: Sierra Leone.
There has been a lot of confusion about the identity of the widespread, closely related group of genera close to Sternobrithes (see under Argyrobrithes). Part of the confusion started with the description(s) of Sternobrithes Loew (1857, 1860), in which the color of the last antennal flagellomere was not described. Gobertina picticornis Bigot was synonymized with Sternobrithes tumidus Loew by Kertész (1908: 347) but then Lindner (1935: 294) indicated that these are good species, without having studied the Loew material. Three syntypes of Sternobrithes tumidus from Guinea (which are deposited in ZMHU, not NHRS, as stated in Woodley 2001: 142), were examined by Jenny Pohl [ZMHU] (and by N. Woodley in 2010) and have a white last antennal segment. The female syntype from South Africa was neither in ZMHU (J. Pohl pers. com.) or in NRS (Y. Brodin & K. Holston, pers. com.). We agree with Kertész (1908) that Sternobrithes and Gobertina are congeneric, but do not follow Kertész in synonymizing the species picticornis with tumidus, before the genus is revised carefully.
Next to Sternobrithes picticornis (Bigot) and S. tumidus Loew is a third valid species, S. mercurialis (Lindner) (Fig. 12), all of which have the last antennal segment white (with an orange base) and the last antennal segment is much shorter than the rest of the flagellomere. We have seen specimens of an undescribed species, which is very similar to S. picticornis / tumidus, but with the last antennal segment completely black. The generic limits of Sternobrithes and Argyrobrithes need to be reevaluated, including species from Madagascar and the Oriental Region, as well as other closely related genera and it could be that the two genera should be combined under Sternobrithes.

When Wiedemann described Hermetia pectoralis he did not indicate the gender of the specimen and he only gave a brief description. Woodley (2001: 184) stated the gender as male, but it is a female. Later, Macquart (1838) erected the genus Thorasena with H. pectoralis as the type species. Macquart provided an illustration of the species, but it is very likely that he never saw the type specimen or any other specimen because of the several discrepancies between the drawing and the type specimen. In the drawing he depicted four M veins, instead of the three present in the type. Also, the illustration shows the pedicel being as long as broad, which is by far the most common condition in Stratiomyidae, while the type specimen has the pedicel elongated, as long as the scape. There are more differences in the wing venation, thorax coloration, leg coloration, overall proportions etc., although Macquart’s illustrations often show a high degree of abstraction. All the characters mentioned in Wiedemann’s descriptions are illustrated correctly, while Macquart just substituted unknown features with typical Hermetia -like ones. After studying photographs (Fig. 13) of the type specimen of H. pectoralis (kindly supplied by T. Pape), it was clear that this species does not belong in the Hermetiinae, but is a Pachygastrinae. Although the type of Dolichodema africana is destroyed, it is clear from the description that D. africana and H. pectoralis are conspecific. Therefore the two species have to be synonymized and Dolichodema has to be placed as a synonym of Thorasena.

Adoxomyia argenteofasciata Bezzi is a widespread Afrotropical species and as Woodley (2011) pointed out, Séguy (1930) did not compare Cormacantha grisea with A. argenteofasciata (at the time still placed in Clitellaria). We studied the female holotype of Cormacantha grisea [MNHN] (Fig.14) and it agrees completely with the description of A. argenteofasciata and all the other specimens from Africa which we identified as A. argenteofasciata. The species is characterized by a small flange on the gena which is uncommon in this genus.

Cyphomia pubiventris Rondani
Ciphomia pubiventris Rondani, 1863: 86. ST 1 ♀ [MZUN]: South Africa: Cape of Good Hope. [error, not Afrotropical; see below].
This species was described from “ South Africa ”, but it is clear that this is an error in the locality information. There are 73 species of Cyphomyia in the New World (only two reaching into the Nearctic region), nine Oriental species and only one species in the Palearctic (China) and Australian regions, but there has been no specimen of this genus found in Africa. We were able to study the syntype female specimen from photographs (Fig. 15) (kindly supplied by A. Raspi & N. Maio), and it is a typical South American species and should be removed from the Afrotropical fauna.

Microchrysa nigricoxa Lindner, 1936: 41. HT ♂ (stated ♀) [SMNS]: Madagascar: Ambositra.
Lindner (1936) described the genus Microptecticus with M. dimidiatus as its type species, of which we have examined one of the female syntypes [SMNS]. In the same publication he described Ptecticus magnicornis and Microchrysa nigricoxa. Mason (1997a) stated that M. nigricoxa cannot be kept in the genus Microchrysa and Woodley (2001: 232) listed it under the “unplaced species of Sarginae ”. We have seen the holotypes of both species and they fit well in the concept of the genus Microptecticus, since both have the lower calypter without projecting lobe or at most with very small finger-like projection and M vein strong only distally. Microptecticus ambiguus (Fig. 25) was described as the second species in this genus by Lindner. Shortly thereafter Lindner (1968) described the third species, M. clarus, which he surprisingly compared only to M. dimidiatus and did not mention M. ambiguus at all. We examined the two female syntypes of M. clarus [MNHN] (Fig. 26) and the holotype of M. ambiguus [MNHN] (Fig. 25) and concluded that they are conspecific. We have more than 10 undescribed species of this genus from Madagascar on hand.

Stratiomys rufiventris Curran, 1928: 1. HT ♂ [AMNH]: Zaire: Stanleyville.
The only Afrotropical Stratiomys listed in Woodley (2001: 305) is Stratiomys rufiventris Curran. The examination of photographs of the female paratype clearly shows that this species does not belong into the genus Stratiomys, although it has an elongated scape and large scutellar spines. However, the narrow body shape and the color pattern do not agree with the concept of the Holarctic genus Stratiomys. The species fits very well in the genus Afrodontomyia, which James (1940: 1) characterized as “A genus showing certain characters of both Stratiomys and Odontomyia ”.
Most species of Afrodontomyia do not have the scape elongated, except A. flammiventris Brunetti (Fig. 35), A. apicalis James 1952, and A. rufiventris (Curran) (Fig. 36). It is possible that all three taxa are conspecific.
The type material of Ondontomyia erecta Brunetti (2 male syntypes [MNHN], 1 female syntype [MRAC]) and O. protrudens Curran (female holotype [AMNH], 1 female paratype [MRAC]) is clearly conspecific and the same is true for O. gigas Brunetti (we examined the male holotype and a female paratype [MNHN], two female paratypes [BMNH] and another female paratype [MRAC]) and O. impressa Curran (male holotype [AMNH]) and therefore these species are synonymized here. Remarkably, all of Curran’s material was collected from the same locality and collecting event, even though most of these species are very rare in collections.

Small white animal (7 × 1-1.5mm) with the anterior region slightly wider than the posterior one, rounded ends (Fig. 4C). With hollow acicular sclerites (80-100 × 6-8 µm) (Fig. 8K, L). Sclerites barely protruding from cuticle. Found on Sertularella sp. (Hydrozoa).
REMARKS
The tentative identification of the specimen as Pruvotia sopita is based on its external appearance and the way it is attached to the Sertularella sp. colony. The habitus of the Corsica specimen, characterized by a small, white body, and the absence of coiling around its host but rather attachment solely at the anterior region of the body to the hydrozoan branches, closely mirrors the description provided by Pruvot (1891) for Pruvotia sopita. This resemblance is further sustained by our own observations of this species (Castro-Claros et al. pers. comm.). Histology was not performed due to the specimen’s small size and the fact that it was damaged. Consequently, our identification relies on these characteristic external features. Interestingly, our phylogenetic analysis recovers the Corsica specimen well within Pruvotinidae with strong support (bootstrap support: 92%; Fig. 2). Confirmation of the identification of this specimen as Pruvotia sopita would necessitate a reevaluation of not only Pruvotia ’s classification within Rhopalomeniidae but also of the monophyly of Pruvotinidae with respect to Rhopalomeniidae.
