Abstract:

The World fauna of Dorylomorpha Aczel is revised. Keys, descriptions (including early stages), distribution maps and information on habitats, hosts and phenology are presented. Discussions of the reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships and on classifications are included, as well as a phylogeny hypothesis reached by a new method based on repeated compatibility analyses, where non-homoplastic characters are detected by means of clique intersections and character compatibility probabilities, and a classification based on anagenetic analysis. New subgenera:Dorylomima, Dorylomyia, Dorylomyza and Pipunculina. New species and subspecies: Dorylomorpha aberrans, alaskensis, amurensis, burmanica, dispar, extricatoides, flavolateralis, flavoscutellaris, fulvitarsis, hardyi, improvisa, indica, kambaitiensis, koreana, lautereri, malaisei, neglecta, onegensis, orientalis, sachaliensis, semiclavata, shatalkini, similis, spinosa ssp. kamachatkensis, subclavata and tanasijtshuki. New combinations: Dorylomorpha montivaga (Hardy), Eudorylas angustipennis (Kertesz), E. confusoides (Lamb), E. lini (Hardy), E. nitidifrons (Becker), E. quartarius (Brunetti), Tomosvaryella helwanensis (Collin) and T. pterae (Kapoor & Grewal). New synonyms: Tomosvaryella intermedia (Aczel), Dorylomorpha imparata (Collin), Dorylomorpha ornata Hardy, Dorylomorpha albitarsis (Zetterstedt), Dorylas strandi (Duda), Dorylomorpha borealis (Wahlgren) and Dorylomorpha uncinata Hardy, Dorylomorpha caudelli (Malloch). Neotypes are designated for Dorylomorpha beckeri (Aczel) and aczeli Hardy, and lectotypes for Dorylomorpha caudelli (Malloch), borealis (Wahlgren), strandi (Duda), albitarsis (Zetterstedt), imparata (Collin), confusa (Verrall) and xtricata (Collin).
