description: Cluzobra Edwards   
 Cluzobra Edwards 1940a: 463. Type-species, Acnemia ocellaris Edwards (orig. des.). Ref.— Matile 1996 (new species, key, phylogeny); Amorim & Oliveira 2008 (new species); Kurina 2008 (new species).   
 C. binocellaris (Edwards) 1934: 362. Type-locality: Paraguay, La Cordillera, San Bernardino. Ref.— Matile 1996: 14, figs. 1–4 (♂ terminalia); Amorim & Oliveira 2008: 19, figs. 2 (thorax), 4 (♂ terminalia), 14 (wing). Holotype ♂, NHM.   
(Figure 10)  
 Notes. As already noted by Matile (1996: 16), the original description stated that the type series is a “ Holotype ♂ and ♀ (taken in copula)”—deposited in the Vienna Museum– and a male, at the NHM. The indication of syntypes for this species in the Neotropical catalogue (Papavero 1978: 49), as well as the syntype label at the specimen at the NHM are incorrect. The labels of the male paratype at the NHM are: “Fiebrig / Paraguay / San Bernardino” // “SYN- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with light blue border]” // BM / 1939.639” // [male terminalia dissected, mounted on an acetate sheet] // “ Acnemia / binocellaris [hw] / F.W.Edwards 193[pr]4[hw]” // “BMNH(E) # / 257802”. The collection has three additional specimens from Nova Teutônia.   
 C. fascipennis Edwards 1940a: 464. Type-locality: Brazil, Santa Catarina, Nova Teutônia. Ref.— Lane 1948b: 254, figs. 14–15 (♂ terminalia); Matile 1966: 24, fig. 51 (♂ terminalia), 59 (♀ terminalia); Amorim & Oliveira 2008: 16. Holotype ♀, NHM.   
(Figure 11)  
 Notes. The type series included the female holotype and a female paratype, both of which are at the NHM. The labels with the holotypes are: “ Brasilien / Nova Teutonia / 27º 11’ S 52º 23’ W / Fritz Plaumann / 6.6.1939.” // “Brit Mus / 1939-628” // “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “ Cluzobra / fascipennis [hw] / F.W. Edwards 193[pr]9[hw]” // “ HOLOTYPE [pr] / Cluzobra / fascipennis [hw] / det. J.E. Chainey 1995 [pr]” // “BMNH(E) # / 257812”. The entire abdomen of the holotype has been removed from the specimen and is glued, together with a pair of legs, to the card where the remaining of the specimen is pinned. The female paratype has a collection number BMNH(E) # 257813. The wing of the paratype is mounted on a slide in the NHM Diptera slide collection.   
 C. fuscipennis Edwards 1940a: 464. Type-locality: Brazil, Santa Catarina, Nova Teutônia. Ref.— Lane 1948b: 254, figs. 14–15 (♂ terminalia); Matile 1996: 29, figs. 7–8 (♂ terminalia), 61–62 (♀ terminalia); Amorim & Oliveira 2008: 19, fig. 15 (wing). Holotype ♂, NHM.   
(Figure 12)  
 Notes. The type series included the male holotype and two female paratypes, of which the holotype and one paratype are at the NHM. The labels with the holotype are: “ Brasilien / Nova Teutonia / 27º 11’ S 52º 23’ W / Fritz Plaumann / 4.7.1939.” // “Brit Mus / 1939-628” // “Type” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “ Cluzobra / fuscipennis [hw] / F.W. Edwards 193[pr]9[hw]” // [male terminalia dissected, mounted on an acetate sheet] // “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “ HOLOTYPE [pr] / Cluzobra / fuscipennis [hw] / det. J.E. Chainey, 1996 [pr]” // “BMNH(E) # / 257809”. Just the tip of the abdomen of the holotype has been removed and mounted on the acetate sheet. The NHM number of the paratype is BMNH(E) # 257810. The wing of the holotype is mounted on a separate slide in the NHM Diptera slide collection.   
 C. lanei Edwards 1940a: 463, fig. 4 (wing photo). Type-locality: Brazil, Mato Grosso do Sul, Salobra. Holotype ♂, NHM. Ref.— Amorim & Oliveira 2008: 8, fig. 7 (wing).   
(Figure 13)  
 Notes. The type series included only the male holotype. The labels with the holotype are: “1.210” // “ M. Grosso / Salobra / vii.1939 / Exp. C. Z. B.” // “Type” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “ Cluzobra / lanei Edw. [hw] / F.W. Edwards 193[pr]9[hw]” // Brazil. / J Lane. BM 1939.636.” [hw] // “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // [male terminalia dissected, mounted on an acetate sheet] // “ HOLOTYPE [pr] / Cluzobra / lanei [hw] / det. J.E. Chainey, 1996 [pr]” // “BMNH(E) # / 257814”. Only the tip of the abdomen of the holotype has been removed and mounted on the acetate sheet. One of the wings of the holotype is mounted on a separate slide in the NHM Diptera slide collection.   
 C. plaumanni Edwards 1940a: 463. Type-locality: Brazil, Santa Catarina, Nova Teutônia. Ref.— Matile 1996: 34, lectotype designation, figs. 5–6 (♂ terminalia), 67 (♀ terminalia); Amorim & Oliveira 2008: 20, fig. 16 (wing). Lectotype ♂, NHM.   
(Figure 14)  
 Notes. The type series included four males and four females syntypes. Matile (1996) revised the genus and formally designated the male syntype as the lectotype, but there is still not a lectotype label on the specimen. The NHM has now only the male lectotype and one of the female paralectotypes (plus two other specimens from the type-locality identified as conspecific, but not labeled as syntypes). The male had its abdomen removed and mounted on a plastic stripe, pinned to the specimen; a missing wing of the lectotype is probably mounted on a separate slide in the NHM Diptera slide collection. The labels with the lectotype are: “ Brasilien / Nova Teutonia / 27º 11’ S 52º 23’ W / Fritz Plaumann / 6.7.1939 ” [pr]” // “Brit. Mus. / 1938-682” // “SYN- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with light blue border]” // “ SYNTYPE / Cluzobra / plaumanni / Edwards / det. J.E. Chainey 1996 [pr]” // “BMNH(E) # / 257803”. The female paralectotype numbers are BMNH(E) #257804-7.
