5B7E87FDFFFF0640FF76E0B2FD7AF9F0.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Eyes uniformly pilose (typical of subgenus Pandasyopthalmus), covered with dense, white pile as long as pedicel, and narrowly separated by a length of about two ommatidia (Fig. 7 A). Face with distinct tubercle. Spurious vein extending beyond the meeting point of vein M with the discal cross-vein (Fig. 2 A). Medial longitu- dinal protuberance at the boundary between sterna 2 and 3 present (Figs 2 C – D: pr); posterior margin of sternum 4 medially protruded, with two tufts of black pile medially (Figs 2 C – D: t). Surstylus squared with apical protuberance and inner spine (marked with arrow on Fig. 3 B); hypandrium as in Figs 3 C – D; paramere broad basally and tapering towards the rounded apex, with a lateral spine (marked with arrow on Figs 3 C – D). Based on its external morphological characters, Paragus longipilus sp. nov. belongs to the subgenus Pandasyopthalmus. Paragus longipilus sp. nov. differs from other described species of the genus by having much lon- ger and denser body pile. Additionally, the medial longitudinal protuberance at the boundary between sterna 2 and 3 is present (Figs 2 C – D: pr), as well as the posterior margin of sternum 4 medially protruded with two tufts of black pile medially (Figs 2 C – D: t). The aedeagus complex (Figs 4 A – C) is similar to that of the species Paragus jozanus Matsumura in Matsumura & Adachi 1916 (see Fig. 66 in Vujić et al. 2008).	en	Tot, Tamara, Radenković, Snežana, Nedeljković, Zorica, Likov, Laura, Vujić, Ante (2020): Descriptions of two new species of the genus Paragus Latreille (Diptera: Syrphidae) with a key to males of all South African species.

5B7E87FDFFF8064DFF76E568FC13FBDE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Eyes uniformly pilose (typical of subgenus Pandasyopthalmus), covered with dense white pile as long as diameter of posterior ocellus and narrowly separated by a length of three ommatidia (Fig. 7 B). Face with less pronounced tubercle. Spurious vein ends before the meeting point of vein M and the discal cross-vein (Fig. 5 B). Tarsi dorsally black, except for yellow meso- and metabasotarsomere, ventrally yellow except for fifth tarsomere (Fig. 5 A). Abdomen elongated, about 3 times longer than wide. Tergum 2 with long white pile at lateral margins. Sterna shiny black, covered with long white wavy-tipped pile. In male terminalia, the cerci are enlarged, 5.9 times longer than the narrowest medial part of the epandrium in dorsal view, covered with a short dense and yellow pubescence and very long wavy-tipped yellow pile (Figs 6 A – B). Surstylus small, tapering towards the apex (Fig. 6 A). Paramere relatively small, dorsal and ventral margins sub-parallel (Fig. 6 D). Ejaculatory apodeme large, umbrella-like (Fig. 6 E). Based on the shape of its hypandrium, Paragus megacercus sp. nov. is most similar to Paragus haemorrhous Meigen, 1822 (Figs 10 K – L). The enlarged cerci distinguish this species from all other known members of the genus.	en	Tot, Tamara, Radenković, Snežana, Nedeljković, Zorica, Likov, Laura, Vujić, Ante (2020): Descriptions of two new species of the genus Paragus Latreille (Diptera: Syrphidae) with a key to males of all South African species.

5B7E87FDFFF5064CFF76E444FBB1FCB6.taxon	discussion	Comments. Hull (1949) described Paragus punctatus based on a single female, collected in Swellendam (Cape Province, South Africa) in November 1933. Stuckenberg (1954 a) found in the collections of the British Museum a male, labelled the same as holotype of Paragus punctatus. He designated this male as allotype of Paragus punctatus. Hull (1964) described a new species, Paragus chalybeatus, from Hout Bay, Skoorsteenkop, South Africa. He stated that this new species shares very similar morphological characters with the allotype of Paragus punctatus designated by Stuckenberg (1954 a), but also indicated the existence of differences between them. Examining the holotype of Paragus chalybeatus we conclude that the type specimen shares the same morphological characters with the allotype of Paragus punctatus found in Stuckenberg (1954 a) and with the examined males of Paragus punctatus deposited in FSUNS. We designate here Paragus chalybeatus as synonym of Paragus punctatus. Based on diagnostic characters defined by Vujić et al. (2008) (small ejaculatory apodeme with simple apical part, lateral lobe of aedeagus protruded anteriorly more than paramere, and hypandrium without characteristic lateral protuberances) (Figs 10 I – J) Paragus punctatus belongs to the P. jozanus group.	en	Tot, Tamara, Radenković, Snežana, Nedeljković, Zorica, Likov, Laura, Vujić, Ante (2020): Descriptions of two new species of the genus Paragus Latreille (Diptera: Syrphidae) with a key to males of all South African species.
