39111C03A12CEC2CDC02D886B9BBDB49.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Named after the southern Mesozoic continent of Gondwana, in reference to the probable age and distribution of this genus of flies on the southern continents of South America and Australasia (Figs 10, 11). All five authors are responsible for the new genus name. TS first identified this new genus, and both ARP and JMC + BJS independently studied separate series. SEB recently discovered the New Zealand species.	en	Sinclair, Bradley J., Cumming, Jeffrey M., Brooks, Scott E., Plant, Adrian R., Saigusa, Toyohei (2016): Gondwanamyia, a new empidoid (Diptera) genus of uncertain placement.
