Genus Diplonevra Lioy, 1864 View in CoL
About 70 species have been described in this cosmopolitan genus. Species recognition is currently based on the males, and descriptions based on females alone are no longer helpful. The Afrotropical species were last keyed by Disney and Kistner (1998).A revised key is given below. The larval habits range from feeders on vertebrate and invertebrate carrion to those that parasitise termites and earthworms.
