Taxonomia de Neodiogmites s. l. Carrera, 1949 (Asilidae, Dasypogoninae)

Abstract

The genus Neodiogmites s.l Carrera,1949 was revised based on examination of type specimens where examined; they were obtained through loans from institutions in the country and abroad. Drawings of male and female terminalia were made to illustrate the descriptions and redescription. A total of 69 specimens were examined, being 23 males and 46 females. The genus Lastauroides Carrera, 1949 and Lastaurax Carrera, 1949 which were considered synonymous of Neodiogmites are revalidated. Neodiogmites has four species N. melanogaster, N. tenebrosus, N. carrerai and Neodiogmites. sp. nov., Laustauroides, six species L. alexanderi, L. atriapexI, L. mixtus, L. modestus rev., L. niger and Lastauroides sp. nov. and Lastaurax, two species (L. lanei and L. tauauna n. comb. The specie Lastauroides. hirtuosus (Wiedmemann, 1821) is transferred to the genus Apoxyria Schiner, 1866. A key to identify the genera in the tribe Lastauracini, keys to identify species of the studied genera are provided.
