Chaetopleurophora semifurcata; Borgmeier, 1961: 4; 1968: 14. Chaetocnemistoptera furcamperdens; Schmitz, 1927: 32; 1929: 94; Borgmeier, 1961: 3 (syn.). Diagnosis. No useful diagnosis can be given as no males could be associated with the female holotype. Material examined. Holotype ♀, BRAZIL: Rio de Janeiro: Petrópolis, 8.x. 1922, B. Ronchi col. (MZSP). Comments. The association of males to the female holotype of C. semifurcata (as made by Borgmeier, 1961) cannot be made with confidence by this time. Four of the new species (C. lobata, C. magdalena, C. trichopoda, C. pityropyga) described herein can be diagnosed only by male structures. All could possibly be the male of C. semifurcata, as they show a similar coloration and chaetotaxy to the female holotype of this species.Published as part of Ament, Danilo César, 2014, Taxonomic revision of the genus Chaetocnemistoptera Borgmeier (Diptera: Phoridae), with the description of five new species, pp. 301-322 in Zootaxa 3753 (4) on page 311, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3753.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/25094

Coniceromyia fusca Borgmeier

Material examined. Holotype ♀, BRAZIL: Rio de Janeiro: Petrópolis, 13.iv.1923, Ronchi col (MZSP). Comments. The association of males with globose antenna to the female holotype of C. fusca, as has been proposed by Borgmeier (1950), is not accepted here. The morphological resemblance of the antenna shared between them is also shared with males of other species with similar distribution, as is the case of the males of C. affinis. Males previously considered conspecific with the holotype of C. fusca are here described as C. neofusca, sp. nov.Published as part of Ament, Danilo César & Amorim, Dalton De Souza, 2016, Taxonomic revision of Coniceromyia Borgmeier (Diptera: Phoridae), with the description of three new species from Brazil, pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 4086 (1) on page 35, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4086.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/39968
Chonocephalus dominicanus Borgmeier
No full textChonocephalus dominicanus Borgmeier Chonocephalus dominicanus Borgmeier, 1967: 206. Chonocephalus punctifascia auct. nec Borgmeier, 1935: 257. Chonocephalus wirthorum Disney, 1980: 363. Syn. nov. Borgmeier wrote of C. dominicanus “hypandrium mostly concealed by the internal copulatory organs”. However, the slide mount of the holotype (in the United States National Museum, Washington) has the hypopygium mounted underside uppermost. The two paler gonopods and the bilobed median lobes are readily observed overlying the darker structures of the penis complex, provided one uses critical lighting. This error of observation by Borgmeier rendered his figure misleading to the extent that specimens from Panama were not recognised as belonging to this species. I now formally synonymise C. wirthorum with C. dominicanus. Material Holotype male, Dominica, B. W. I., Clarke Hall, light trap, 1120 May 1964, O. S. Flint (USNM 2665). Holotype male of C. wirthorum, Panama, Gamboa, C. Z., Pipeline Road, July 1967, W. & M. Wirth, reared from Carludovica palmata (USNM); 3 male, 1 female paratypes of C. wirthorum, same data (CUMZ) and 12 male, 2 female paratypes (USNM). Also recorded from the Seychelles. Natural history Apart from the rearings from the rotting spadices of Carludovica palmata (Cyclanthacaeae) and Heliconia mariae (Heliconiaceae) (Disney, 1980); it has also been reared from bread fruit (Artocarpus altilis (Z.) Frost, Moraceae) (Disney, 1994).Published as part of Disney, R.

Coniceromyia arizonensis Borgmeier
No full textConiceromyia arizonensis Borgmeier (Figs. 325–326) Coniceromyia arizonensis Borgmeier, 1962: 78. Refs.: Borgmeier 1963a: 89, fig. 85. Material examined. Holotype ♀, USA: Arizona: Oak Creek, 14.vii.1937, L.D. Christenson col. (USNM). Geographical distribution. Arizona (U.S.A.). Comments. Borgmeier (1963a) described Coniceromyia arizonensis based on a female holotype, diagnosing this species by its M1 ending far from the wing tip. This feature, however, is considerably widespread in the genus and it is not sufficient alone to separate it from many other species of Coniceromyia. The geographical distribution suggests that males described as C. auristriata Borgmeier may correspond to the female holotype of C. arizonensis. Additional material from the United States and a better sampling of the genus along this distribution would be necessary, however, before any decision concerning synonymizing both species.Published as part of Ament, Danilo César & Amorim, Dalton De Souza, 2016, Taxonomic revision of Coniceromyia Borgmeier (Diptera: Phoridae), with the description of three new species from Brazil, pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 4086 (1) on page 11, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4086.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/39968

Very long scutellar setae (about three times longer than the scutellum); large frontal setae; hind femur with ventral lobe extending along its entire venter (Fig. 295), but not as developed as in C. femoralis. Material examined. Holotype: ♂, PERU: East side Carpish Mts., 2,800 m, 40 miles SW Tingo Maria, 17.x.1954, E. I. Schinger & E. S. Ross coll. (CAS). Geographical distribution. Known only from the type-locality in Peru. Comments. The holotype, the only known specimen of C. parvicornis, could not have the hypopygium illustrated since the distal part of its abdomen is missing.Published as part of Ament, Danilo César & Amorim, Dalton De Souza, 2016, Taxonomic revision of Coniceromyia Borgmeier (Diptera: Phoridae), with the description of three new species from Brazil, pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 4086 (1) on pages 46-48, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4086.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/39968

Long thin setae on fore and mid coxae and on midfemur; foremetatarsus without anteroapical process. Material examined. Holotype ♂, Dominica, W.I., Trois Pitons, 4.v.1964, O.S. Flint Jr. col. (USNM). Geographical distribution. Dominica, West Indies. Comments. The hypopygium of the holotype of Coniceromyia pilicoxa is severely damaged and could not be described or illustrated. Possible affinities of C. pilicoxa are discussed under C. ciliatipes comments.Published as part of Ament, Danilo César & Amorim, Dalton De Souza, 2016, Taxonomic revision of Coniceromyia Borgmeier (Diptera: Phoridae), with the description of three new species from Brazil, pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 4086 (1) on page 48, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4086.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/39968

Very long scutellar setae (about three times longer than the scutellum), large frontal setae, hind femur with well-developed ventral lobe, extending along its entire venter (Fig. 279). Material examined. Holotype: ♂, PERU: 5 mi. NE Cerro de Pasco, Pasco, 3,500 m, 29.xii.1954, E.I. Schlinger & E.S. Ross col. (CAS). Comments. Coniceromyia femoralis seems to be closely related to C. lobipennis and C. parvicornis, sharing with them the enlarged frontal setae, hind femur ventrally swollen, first flagellomere globose, and the anterodorsal seta of the hind tibia at the apical fourth (rather than its usual preapical position).Published as part of Ament, Danilo César & Amorim, Dalton De Souza, 2016, Taxonomic revision of Coniceromyia Borgmeier (Diptera: Phoridae), with the description of three new species from Brazil, pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 4086 (1) on page 35, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4086.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/39968
