Genus ADOXOMYIA Kertész

Adoxomyia Kertész, 1907: 499 . Type species, Clitellaria dahlii Meigen, 1830 by designation of Bezzi (1908: 75). Adoxomyia proposed for Clitellaria of authors (not Meigen, 1803) without description or inclusion of named species but available by indication through back reference to Speiser (1905: 406–407). Bezzi’s designation from eight species listed under Clitellaria by Bezzi (1903: 5) and alluded to by Speiser.

Haplephippium Speiser, 1913: 138 . Type species, Haplephippium colossulus Speiser, 1913 , by original designation.

Cormacantha Enderlein, 1914: 13 . Type species, Cormacantha maculiventris Enderlein, 1914 [= Haplephippium colossulus Speiser ], by original designation.

Euclitellaria Kertész, 1923: 96 , 101. Type species, Clitellaria heminopla Wiedemann, 1819 , by original designation.

Mixoclitellaria Lindner, 1935: 312 . Type species, Mixoclitellaria maculipennis Lindner, 1935 , by monotypy.

Myxoclitellaria Lindner 1938: 72 . Unjustified emendation of Mixoclitellaria Lindner.

Adoxomyia argenteofasciata (Bezzi) .

Clitellaria argenteofasciata Bezzi, 1906: 232 . ST ♀ [MZLS]: Ethiopia: Adì Ugrì. Cormacantha grisea Séguy, 1931: 650 . HT ♀ [ MNHN] : Mozambique: Zambezi River , Alfiaté, upstream from Tambara. Syn. nov .

Adoxomyia argenteofasciata Bezzi is a widespread Afrotropical species and as Woodley (2011) pointed out, Séguy (1930) did not compare Cormacantha grisea with A. argenteofasciata (at the time still placed in Clitellaria ). We studied the female holotype of Cormacantha grisea [MNHN] ( Fig.14 ) and it agrees completely with the description of A. argenteofasciata and all the other specimens from Africa which we identified as A. argenteofasciata . The species is characterized by a small flange on the gena which is uncommon in this genus.
