- Genus CYPHOMYIA Wiedemann Cyphomyia Wiedemann, 1819: 54. Type species, Stratiomys cyanea Fabricius, 1794 by designation of Duponchel in d’Orbigny (1844: 548; see Evenhuis & Thompson, 1990: 234). [For nomenclatural history, see Woodley (2001: 157–158); no changes are proposed here.] Cyphomia pubiventris Rondani Ciphomia pubiventris Rondani, 1863: 86. ST 1 ♀ [MZUN]: South Africa: Cape of Good Hope. [error, not Afrotropical; see below]. This species was described from “ South Africa ”, but it is clear that this is an error in the locality information. There are 73 species of Cyphomyia in the New World (only two reaching into the Nearctic region), nine Oriental species and only one species in the Palearctic (China) and Australian regions, but there has been no specimen of this genus found in Africa. We were able to study the syntype female specimen from photographs (Fig. 15) (kindly supplied by A. Raspi & N. Maio), and it is a typical South American species and should be removed from the Afrotropical fauna.
