The genus Daspletis Loew, 1858 and the description of two new genera, Anasillomos and Remotomyia (Diptera: Asilidae: Stenopogoninae)

Abstract

The southern African genus Dasplttis Loew, 1858, is revised and a key presented for the separation of six species D. vulpes, D. hirtus, D. hermann; ([ormerly Microstylum), D. setithoracicus (formerly Neodysmachus) and two new species, D. placodes (from northern Transvaal) and D. s/enoura (from northern Cape Province). Two new southern African genera are described: Remotomyia, with four species (R. albosetatus (formerly Daspit/is) and three new oncs R. brunales, R. longipalpus and R. pennthae) and Anasitlomos with a single new species (A. chrysopos). A key to these and other related genera of the tribe Stenopogonini is presented.
