            <p> Notopeza gen. nov.</p>
            <p>(Figs 1–7)</p>
            <p> Type species.  Platypeza brunnescens Collin, 1931: 50 , here designated. </p>
            <p> Diagnosis. Resembling  Seri Kessel &amp; 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 ]. </p>
            <p> 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. </p>
