New spider flies from the Neotropical Region (Diptera, Acroceridae) with a key to New World genera

Abstract: Two new genera and five new species of spider flies (Diptera: Acroceridae) are described from the Neotropical Region. A new genus of Philopotinae (Neophilopota brevirostris Schlinger gen. et sp. n.) is described from Mexico, while an unusual new species of Sphaerops Philippi, 1865 (Acrocerinae: Sphaerops micella Schlinger sp. n.) is described from Chile. A new Panopinae genus near Lasia Wiedemann, 1824 (Coquena stangei Schlinger gen. et sp. n.), is described from Argentina and two new species of Pialea Erichso… Show more

“…Only two species of Nemestrinidae are found in Canada (Table 1), the same as in 1979, and these are confined to the central arid regions of British Columbia. Twenty species of Acroceridae are recorded from Canada; a key to New World genera is available in Schlinger et al (2013), but only one recent revision has included Canadian records (Borkent et al 2016). A few more acrocerid species are therefore expected in the country.…”

“…La familia Acroceridae es un grupo de dípteros braquíceros caracterizados por presentar cabeza pequeña a mediana, tórax globoso, caliptra inferior muy desarrollada y abdomen giboso y con tamaños, formas y colores variables (Schlinger, 2009;Schlinger et al, 2013). Las especies de acrocéridos presentan una amplia distribución geográfica y se encuentran en todas las regiones biogeográficas del planeta, excluyendo la Antártica, incluso en algunas islas oceánicas (Barraclough, 1991).…”

“…Las especies de acrocéridos presentan una amplia distribución geográfica y se encuentran en todas las regiones biogeográficas del planeta, excluyendo la Antártica, incluso en algunas islas oceánicas (Barraclough, 1991). La familia contiene 530 especies (actuales y fósiles) agrupadas en 55 géneros, y en la región Neotropical habitan 19 géneros y alrededor de 100 especies (Schlinger et al, 2013). Acroceridae se divide en 3 subfamilias, Philopotinae, Panopinae y Acrocerinae, las 2 primeras son monofiléticas, mientras que Acrocerinae, probablemente, representa un grupo polifilético conformado por 4 linajes independientes, con Carvalhoa Koçak y Kemal, 2013 + Acrocera Meigen, 1803 como grupo hermano del resto de los acrocéridos (Gillung et al, 2018;Winterton et al, 2007).…”

“…Currently, about 530 species of Acroceridae or small-headed flies are placed within three subfamilies comprising 55 genera (Barneche et al 2013;Schlinger et al 2013;Winterton & Gillung 2012). Most known Acroceridae larvae develop as endoparasitoids in the opisthosoma of true spiders (Araneae), undergoing a distinct hypermetamorphosis, i.e., each larval instar is morphologically unique and has a distinctive lifestyle (Schlinger 2003).…”
