Genus ASYNDETUS Loew, 1869a View in CoL

ASYNDETUS Loew, 1869a: 35 View in CoL . Type species: Asyndetus ammophilus Loew View in CoL [Nearctic, Neotropical], designation by Coquillett, 1910c: 511. There has been some confusion over the type species of Asyndetus View in CoL among the current regional catalogs. Asyndetus ammophilus Loew View in CoL is listed as the type species in the Nearctic ( Foote et al., 1965), Neotropical ( Robinson, 1970b), and Afrotropical ( Dyte & Smith, 1980) catalogs, whereas the Oriental ( Dyte, 1975), Australasian & Oceanian ( Bickel & Dyte, 1989), and Palearctic ( Negrobov, 1991) catalogs list Diaphorus interruptus Loew View in CoL as the type. Loew (1869a) included only two species when he erected Asyndetus View in CoL , namely A. ammophilus View in CoL and A. appendiculatus View in CoL , both from Newport, Rhode Island. Therefore the earlier designation of the Cuban species Diaphorus interruptus Loew View in CoL as type species by Bigot (1890) is invalid as it was not one of the originally included species.

ANCHINEURA Thomson, 1869: 506 View in CoL . Type species: Anchineura tibialis Thomson View in CoL , by monotypy.

MERINGOPHERUSA Becker, 1902 View in CoL –1903: 56. Type species: Meringopherusa separata View in CoL Beck er, designation by Dyte, 1975: 247.

NOTES: Asyndetus View in CoL is known from all realms but is most diverse in the New World. Several species are known from crab holes and presumably breed in these microhabitats. Species from the eastern United States are primarily coastal, but are occasionally found around inland lakes. The genus seems to be more widely distributed in the west ( Robinson, 1964).

Genus CHRYSOTUS Meigen, 1824 View in CoL

CHRYSOTUS Meigen, 1824: 40 View in CoL . Type species: Musca nigripes Fabricius [Palearctic], designation by Westwood, 1840: 134. See comments by Foote et al. (1965) and Dyte & Smith (1980) regarding the valid name of the type species.

LYRONEURUS Loew, 1857b: 38 View in CoL . Type species: Lyroneurus coerulescens Loew View in CoL , designation by Coquillett, 1910c: 563. Listed as subgenus ( Robinson, 1970b) or synonym ( Dyte & Smith, 1980) of Diaphorus View in CoL . NEW SYNONYMY.

NOTES: Chrysotus View in CoL is known from all realms, but is most diverse in the New World. In this catalog, separation of Chrysotus View in CoL and Diaphorus View in CoL follows the key in Robinson & Vockeroth (1981) resulting in the transfer of 12 species from Diaphorus View in CoL to Chrysotus View in CoL based on examination of identified material in the CNC. Chrysotus View in CoL is generally heliophilous and is mainly found on the foliage of low herbs, but a number of species seem to prefer wet, sandy banks of ponds and rivers.

NOTES: Diaphorus View in CoL is well represented in all realms but is most diverse in the New World. Separation of Diaphorus View in CoL and Chrysotus View in CoL in this catalog follows the key in Robinson & Vockeroth (1981) resulting in the transfer of 12 species from Diaphorus View in CoL to Chrysotus View in CoL based on examination of identified material in the CNC. This genus includes both hygrophilous and xerophilous species which are known from a variety of different habitats (heathland, river banks, humid forests).

Genus KEIROSOMA Van Duzee, 1929 View in CoL

KEIROSOMA Van Duzee, 1929: 24 View in CoL . Type species: Keirosoma albicinctum Van Duzee View in CoL [Neotropical], by original designation. Listed in Rhaphiinae View in CoL by Foote et al. (1965).

NOTES: Foote et al. (1965) placed Keirosoma View in CoL in the Rhaphiinae View in CoL because Van Duzee (1929) considered Keirosoma View in CoL similar to Nematoproctus View in CoL . Subsequently, Robinson (1970a, 1970b) placed Keirosoma View in CoL in the Diaphorinae View in CoL without explanation. Although Keirosoma View in CoL may not belong in the Diaphorinae View in CoL , the systematic position adopted by Robinson (1970a, 1970b) is followed here until placement of the genus is resolved. Keirosoma View in CoL is only known from the New World. The habits of K. slossonae View in CoL are unknown.
