Phylogenetic classification of Eudorylini (Diptera : Pipunculidae)

The phylogenetic relationships of members of Eudorylini (Diptera: Pipunculi dae: Pipunculinae) were explored. Two hundred and fifty-seven species of Eu dorylini from all biogeographical regions and all known genera were examine d. Sixty species were included in an exemplar-based phylogeny for the tribe . Two new genera are described, Clistoabdominalis and Dasydorylas. The iden tity of Eudorylas Aczel, the type genus for Eudorylini, has been obscure si nce its inception. The genus is re-diagnosed and a proposal to stabilize th e genus and tribal names is discussed. An illustrated key to the genera of Pipunculidae is presented and all Eudorylini genera are diagnosed. Numerous new generic synonyms are proposed. Moriparia nigripennis Kozanek & Kwon is preoccupied by Congomyia nigripennis Hardy when both are transferred to Cl araeola, so Cla. koreana Skevington is proposed as a new name for Mo. nigri pennis.
