03BFBB46FB13FFA47FA6A90907E3FDD3.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Apyrgota marshalli Hendel, 1914. D i a g n o s i s. Robust, wasp-like flies, very similar to Eupyrgota in having large subocular sclerite, bare scutellum, wing with spurious vein inserted to deep flexion of R 2 + 3, femora with two ventral rows of shortened and thickened setae on ventral side; mostly bare epandrium with elongated surstyli (as in Eupyrgota s. str.), oviscape with opening directed ventrally, paired rows of stiff setulae located anterolaterally of it, and short, T- or Y-shaped aculeus with strongly widened shoulders basally. They differ from Eupyrgota by the saddlelike prosternum without nipple or finger-like projections ventrally, and oviscape bearing no postero-laterally directed sclerotized hooks. D e s c r i p t i o n. Afrotropical Region (from Nigeria to Kenya and Tanzania). Head. Frons and facialium broad, wider than eye, face with narrow, often very low carina; epistome low; subocular sclerite large; setae moderately short: oc, or and vte shorter than or at most as long as poc. Thorax. Presternum saddle-like, without nipple-like ventral projections. Scutellum bare, with two pairs of setae. Legs. Female fore and mid trochanters without thickened setulae; mid femur of female with or without femoral organ; setae of apicoventral rows moderately thickened and shortened. Wing usually grey microtrichose, sometimes widely or almost entirely yellow tinged; subcostal vein straight, interrupted at fusion with costa. Pterostigma short. Vein R 2 + 3 deeply and sharply bent at insertion of spurious vein, R 4 + 5 bare. Costal vein reaching apex of M. Cell bcu with calypters with fine and short fringe, without spinulose cilia. Abdomen. Sternites 1 and 2 entirely fused, forming long Y-shaped synsternite 1 + 2. Male genitalia. Hypandrium with phallic guide. Epandrium almost entirely bare, with elongate lateral surstyli. Medial surstyli without prensisetae. Female genitalia. Oviscape shorter than abdomen; its opening ventrally directed; apical fields of trichoid sensilla present: on lateroventral lobe (with thick setulae arranged in two rows — fig. 2, 2: lvl; 4, 9; 8, 4) and dorsomedial lobe (fig. 2, 2: dl); medioventral part at the apex widely desclerotized (fig. 2, 1; 4, 8; 8, 4). Sclerotized hooks distal of them absent. Aculeus short, strongly widened in basal one-third and narrowly stiletto-like in apical portion (Y-like, see fig. 2, 3; 4, 10; 8, 5). Ventral receptacle tubular, with spherical apical portion (fig. 2, 4). One or two unequal smooth, poorly sclerotized, slightly curved spermathecae observed in few dissected specimens (related species of Eupyrgota usually have 2 larger and one smaller spermatheca, and I suppose this could be actual number of spermathecae in Afropyrgota, too, while the other could be lost during preparation).	en	Korneyev, V.

Oviscape (fig. 8, 1 – 3) black, densely black setulose, dorsoventrally compressed, as long as or slightly wider than long, and as long as tergites 3 – 6 combined, with apex bent ventrally, bearing no hooks, only setulae on lateroventral lobes (fig. 8, 4), and medioventral desclerotized area (fig. 8, 4) as in A. copelandi sp. n. Eversible membrane without sclerotized lobes or raspers. Oviscape (fig. 8, 5) wide, robust. Spermathecae sausage-like, poorly sclerotized (fig. 8, 6). Male unknown.	en	Korneyev, V. A.

03BFBB46FB1FFFA97FA6A8A60792FCB1.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Tylotrypes immsi Bezzi, 1914. D i a g n o s i s. Robust, densely setulose dark brown flies with darkened wings (fig, 10, 1, 2, 4, 13, 14); head without subocular sclerite; face with (fig. 10, 5) or without carina (fig. 10, 15); wing with straight and entire vein Sc, straight R 2 + 3, and without a spurious vein, costa more or less thinned posterior of R 4 + 5 apex; femora without ventral rows of shortened and thickened setae, usually densely setose; femoral organ in females usually lacking, except in T. fuscipes (Wulp); scutellum heavily setulose; synsternite 1 + 2 wide, with setulose posterior part; epandrium setulose dorsally, with moderately short surstyli (medial surstylus without prensisetae); hypandrium with two posterior lobes forming a phallic guide between surstyli (fig. 10, 10, phg); oviscape with long medioventral sclerotized lobe, but without hook- or nail-like unpaired sclerotized process (fig. 10, 6, mvl), often with calluses on ventral surface (fig. 10, 2, 4, 6, 14, opc); aculeus with basal part thickened dorsoventrally, but neither Y- or T-shaped (fig. 10, 7, 8); three sclerotized sausage-like spermathecae (fig. 10, 9), one of them smaller and shorter. Tylotrypes shares the absence of the subocular sclerite, and straight veins Sc with Pyrgota Wiedemann and Tephritopyrgota Hendel and apparently is related to them, differing by having very long medioventral lobe of the oviscape apex instead of a short hook and also by the shape of aculeus with its basal part thickened dorso-ventrally and triangular in profile (fig. 10, 7, 8, a unique character state not occurring elsewhere, possibly a synapomorphy of Tylotrypes). R e m a r k s. I have examined about two dozen specimens from Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, Mainland China, Taiwan, and Indonesia (Java, Borneo), which represent six to eight species of the genus Tylotrypes similar or identical to species described by Shi (1994; 1996) from China (Yunnan) as Apyrgota species. As the type material is unavailable at this moment and illustrations and descriptions are incomplete or based on males alone, identification of that material with Chinese nominal species is pending until a forthcoming revision of Tylotrypes. Judging from the photographs of the type specimen of Apyrgota longa Shi kindly provided by Dr. Li-hua Wong (Beijing) it must be with certainty transferred from Apyrgota to Tylotrypes, which now contains seven nominal species:	en	Korneyev, V.

03BFBB46FB1FFFA97FA6A8A60792FCB1.taxon	materials_examined	These taxonomic acts are based either on the material examined (to be listed in the forthcoming publication) or on the comparison of the diagnosis of the genus with original descriptions. Some of these species were described from males and females alone, and can belong to the same species; I do not synonymize them here as it needs study of additional material and will be subject to a taxonomic revision (Korneyev, in preparation). This paper is partly resulting from the study supported by the Belgian Federal Office for Scientific, Technical and Cultural Affairs Research Fellowship and conducted in the Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren, Belgium in 2005 – 2006; most type specimens were photographed there. My thanks are due to Ben Brugge (RMNH), Robert Copeland (NMKE), Allen L. Norrbom (USDA SEL, Washington, D. C., U. S. A., material from USNM), David Notton (BMNH), Thomas Pape (ZMUC), Peter Sehnal (NHMW), and Chen W. Young (CMNH), who kindly put at my disposal important material, both type and undetermined, or provided necessary data on the specimens deposited in collections under their care. Chris Raper kindly read the early proof of this paper. I thank Robert Copeland and an anonymous reviewer for their criticism and valuable comments.	en	Korneyev, V. A.
