| Abstract: | Two new genera of Pipunculidae (Diptera) are described from the New World: Metadorylas, gen. n. (type-species: Pipunculus schreiteri Shannon, 1927) and Elmohardyia, gen. n. (type-species: Pipunculus doelloi Shannon, 1927). The species included in each genus are listed. A species is revalidated: M. simulator (Collin, 1931), previously synonymized with M. schreiteri (Shannon). Two new synonyms are proposed: Elmohardyia attenuata (Hardy, 1965) = E. congruens (Hardy, 1950) and E. discantha (Hardy, 1965) = E. lindneri (Collin, 1931). Lectotypes are designated for Metadorylas subjectus (Collin) and Elmohardyia lindneri (Collin). |
