Material examined: Kerman Province: 3♂, 2♀, 35 km E Rafsanjan, Kaboutarkhan, 1679 m, N30º18.098′ E56º19.167 ′, 23.vi.2019, V.M. Gnezdilov & F. Mozaffarian leg. (ZIN and HMIM).
Notes: New record of the genus and species for Iranian fauna. The species was described based on three females from Kerki and later recorded from Repetek in Turkmenistan (Haupt, 1917; Kusnezov, 1929). Fifty years later it was recorded from Uzbekistan (Dubovsky, 1966) and Kazakhstan (Mitjaev, 1971). In Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan Calligonum spp. were mentioned as its host plants (Kaplin, 1993; Mitjaev, 2002). Apparently it is one of the largest species of Adelungiini with its total length 6–9 mm.

Notes: The species was originally recorded from Iranshahr in southeast of Iran (Dlabola, 1960a) and Gnezdilov (2021) recently recorded it from Bampur. Mirzayans (1995) mentioned this species from northeast of Iran (Gonbadkavus, gray dot in fig. 33). However, the last record may be an error due to the absence of this specimen in HMIM.
Our data expands the known distribution of this species to the west of Iran (Fig. 33). The species was collected from March to December on 20–700 m a. l. s. Further collecting in south of Fars province may connect the two isolated distribution records of the species in southeast and southwest of the country (Fig. 33).

Material examined: Kerman Province: 4♂ 8♀ 35 km E. Rafsanjan, Kaboutarkhan, 1689 m, N30º18.098′ E56º19.167 ′, 23.VI.2019, V.M. Gnezdilov & F. Mozaffarian leg. (ZIN and HMIM).
Notes: New record of the genus and species for the Iranian fauna. The species was described based on the series of specimens collected near Tigrovaya Balka in Haloxylon desert in southern Tadzhikistan and in Ashgabad in Turkmenistan (Dlabola, 1960b). Later, it was recorded also from Kazakhstan (Mitjaev, 1971). In Repetek (Turkmenistan) the species was collected on Calligonum spp. (Kaplin, 1993).
Comparison of drawings by Dubovsky (1968) with the original description by Dlabola (1960b) showed their identity and accordingly we suggest to treat Melicharella pascualis Dubovsky, 1968 described from Uzbekistan (Bukhara province) and collected on Calligonicum (Dubovsky, 1968) as a junior synonym of Melicharella basalis Dlabola, 1960.

These data and new material examined expanded the known distribution of this species, but still it is limited to the southeast of Iran. Nast (1972) recorded this species from Tadzhikistan.

(Figs 1A–C, 3A–D)
Type-species. Afrostoma quadripunctatum Skevington & Thompson.
Description. Small, slender black flies. Length: 7–8 mm. Head: Face straight, slightly projecting, with distinct medial tubercle; oral opening about 1.2 times as long as broad; gena narrow; frontal triangle not swollen; antennal sockets confluent; eye bare, holoptic in male, with eye contiguity slightly longer than frontal triangle; antenna short, with basoflagellomere oval; arista long, about as long as antenna, pubescent, with short pile about as long as aristal diameter. Thorax: Black; postpronotum (humerus) bare; notopleuron with indistinct tubercle; scutellum convex, not modified; subscutellar fringe present, of multiple rows; anterior anepisternum bare; katepisternal pile patches broadly separated throughout; metasternum not excavated anteriorly, bare; metathoracic pile patch absent; metapleuron bare; postmetacoxal bridge absent; legs simple; plumula simple, long. Wing: brownish, microtrichose; vein R 4+5 straight; vein M 1 (apical crossvein) oblique, slightly sinuous; alula broad, about as wide as cell cup. Abdomen: elongate, slightly narrower than thorax, segments more or less quadrate, as long as broad, without marginal sulcus. Male genitalia: surstyles symmetric; lingula absent; postgonite free; phallus one-segmented.
Etymology. Afrostoma is an arbitrary word derived from combination of the first letters of Afrotropical and the last letters of Melanostoma. The name is to be treated as neuter as is Melanostoma.
Discussion (including comparative diagnosis). Afrostoma is the sister genus to Melanostoma (Fig. 2) and belongs among the basal syrphine groups in the paraphyletic assemblage known as the tribe Melanostomini or Bacchini (see above). While these flies look like Melanostoma species, close inspection of the metasternum reveals the lack of the basolateral excavation, characteristic of Melanostoma (Andersson 1970). Also, the male genitalia lack the specialized synapomorphies of Platycheirus (scythe-shaped gonostylus and basomedial lobe on surstyle).
Afrostoma is very distinctive by its lack of male external secondary characters and biogeography (being endemic to the Afrotropical region where the only other melanostomine group is Melanostoma).

Tuberculanostoma Fluke, 1943: 425. Type, antennatum Fluke by original designation.
Neotropical region only, high Andes from Venezuela to Bolivia (4 species, last revision Fluke (1943). Another species, solitarium van Doesburg (1955: 50), was described from the Karakorum mountains (Oriental region). Unfortunately, the species was based only on females and differs significantly from the Neotropical species in having a head with reduced eyes, enlarged gena and ventral occiput, very deep anterior tentorial pits and very broad facial stripes. Tuberculanostoma has a normal head (except for snout), with large eyes, small narrow gena and ventral occiput, shallow tentorial pits and narrow facial stripes. Unfortunately, without a male the description of a new genus for this strange Karakorum species would be premature.

(Fig. 1B)
Bezzia hondurensis Spinelli & Wirth, 1990: 20 (female, male, Honduras; figures; distribution). Borkent & Wirth 1997: 126 (world catalog); Borkent & Spinelli 2000: 61 (new world catalog south of the USA; distribution); Borkent & Spinelli 2007: 94 (Neotropical catalog; distribution); Borkent & Dominiak 2020: 200 (world catalog).
Diagnosis. The only species in the gibbera group with the following combination of characters: palpus brown; thorax dark brown, with 8–10 stout prealar setae, one postalar seta; legs dark brown, narrow pale rings subapically on fore femur, sub-basally on fore tibia; tarsi yellowish except tarsomeres 5 black, female abdomen with one pair of long slender gland rods. Male genitalia with sternite 9 with a deep caudomedian excavation; gonocoxite greatly expanded mesally at base, with stout spinules on disto-mesal portion; gonostylus moderately curved; aedeagus triangular, basal arch extending 1/3 of total length; parameres with short anterolateral lobes, slender distally with pointed tip.
Material examined. MEXICO, Veracruz, Actopan, La Mancha, LC 12, selva baja, 16−mar−2010, CDC trap, 1 male (CAIM).
Distribution. Mexico (Veracruz, Chiapas), Honduras, El Salvador, Panama.
Remarks. This species was previously reported from Fortín de las Flores, Veracruz, Mexico by Spinelli & Wirth (1990). We include a new record from La Mancha, Actopan, Veracruz. This species is distinguished primarily by females having very large spermathecae, and males with a gonocoxite with stout spinules on its mesal margin.
