(2024): Notopeza, a new genus of Platypezidae (Diptera) from Chile. Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 64 (1): 107-112, DOI: 10.37520/aemnp.2024.008, URL: https://doi.org/10.37520/aemnp.2024.008
886BB773FFDEFFF4FBE6FB9651BBFAA7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Resembling Seri Kessel & Kessel, 1966 and Bolopus Enderlein, 1932 in both sexes being dark coloured without distinctive markings and in the forking of vein M 1 + 2 at least as far from the wing margin as from crossvein dm-m; differing from both in presence of an anteroventral as well as a posteroventral spur at apex of mid tibia. Male differs from both in its strongly setose head, with a group of long upcurved setae on upper part of frons and long dense setae extending from gena onto broad parafacial reaching close to level of antennae [Seri has a group of short setae on upper part of frons, absent in Bolopus, but in both genera setae do not extend onto the parafacial from the gena]; antenna with long setae on pedicel extending beyond tip of postpedicel (= first flagellomere) [as in Bolopus; setae on pedicel are shorter than postpedicel in Seri], but with a terminal arista [as in most Platypezidae; set near to dorsal margin of postpedicel in the male of Bolopus]. Male terminalia: hypandrium with thick curved blunt-ended apical process (gonopod, pregonite or hypandrial lobe) on each side [similar to Seri, this process more tapered apically in Bolopus; Platypeza, which also has a strongly setose male head, lacks the extension of the hypandrium into gonopods but has a strongly developed phallapodeme extending beyond the sides of the hypandrium]; epandrium large with surstylus fused to it basally [articulating in Bolopus and Seri], tapered to a blunt point in lateral view, with medially broadened base in posterior view; phallus short and blunt apically with a warty surface on the apical part [closer to Bolopus in that respect; Seri has a long cylindrical, apically pointed, phallus as in most Platypezinae]; phallapodeme also short, articulating with phallus; short sclerotised ejaculatory duct enclosed within segment 8 [as in Seri, Bolopus and Polyporivora].	en	Chandler, Peter J.

886BB773FFDEFFF4FBE6FB9651BBFAA7.taxon	etymology	Etymology. From Greek notos = southern and the terminal part of the generic name Platypeza, emphasising the southern distribution and its occurrence in forests of Nothofagus (Southern Beech; nothos = false, but meaning of notos may also have been intended in the naming of that genus). Gender is feminine.	en	Chandler, Peter J. (2024): Notopeza, a new genus of Platypezidae (Diptera) from Chile.
