Genus Coenosia Meigen, 1826

Coenosia is the largest muscid genus occurring in the Afrotropical Region, with 110 described species (Pont 1980). Couri et al. (2006) recently described a new species from Madagascar and Pont (2009) described a new species from the Seychelles. See Couri et al. (2006) for generic diagnosis. Coenosia strigipes Stein, 1916 is the only species recorded from Namibia (Emden 1958: 7, “S. W. Africa”). This species was found in the material examined.
