Abstract
The relationships, status and composition of the genera Ariphron and T achynomia are re-examined. Two new genera, Tachynoides and Takyomyia, are described to include species previously placed in Tachynomia and A riphron. Ariphron is the sister group of the other three, and of the r emaining three genera the relationships are: Tachynoides + (Tachynomia + Takyomyia). New synonymies include: Ariphron rigidulus Turner under A. bicolor Erichson; Ariphron fervidus Erichson under Agriomyia abdom inalis Guerin; Aelurus pilosulus (Smith) under Thynnus adusta (Smith); and Thynnus schroederi Dalla Torre, Thynnus punctata Smith and Thynnu s schoberi Dalla Torre under Tachynomia dentata (Smith). Ariphron bico lor propodealis Rohwer is elevated to species status, as Ariphron prop odealis.
