No full textAphaniosoma harteni Ebejer, 1996 Aphaniosoma harteni: Ebejer 1996: 293. Described from Yemen and later found in Tunisia, this species is unique in the Afrotropical fauna. It is the only representative of the group of species with a strong presutural dc seta. This species group is distributed across the Mediterranean, with four species recorded from the Canary Islands and one from Mongolia. Distribution: Tunisia, Yemen.Published as part of Ebejer, Martin J., 2009, A revision of Afrotropical Chyromyidae (excluding Gymnochiromyia Hendel) (Diptera: Schizophora), with the recognition of two subfamilies and the description of new genera, pp. 321 in African Invertebrates 50 (2) on page 402, DOI: 10.5733/afin.050.0208, http://zenodo.org/record/791060

No full textAphaniosoma nigricauda Ebejer, 1998 Remarks An almost completely dark brown to black species with greyish microtomentum, and on external characters alone it is indistinguishable from A. creperum (Fig. 16). For discussion of similar species, see note above under A. creperum and note under A. nigricauda below. Distribution Algeria, Cyprus, Morocco, Tunisia (Ebejer 1998, 2016, 2021a; Baba Aissa et al. 2016).Published as part of Ebejer, Martin J., 2023, The genus Aphaniosoma Becker, 1903 (Diptera: Chyromyidae) in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, with descriptions of new species, pp. 1-161 in European Journal of Taxonomy 872 on page 116, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2023.872.2131, http://zenodo.org/record/801830
Aphaniosoma cypriense Ebejer 2021
No full textAphaniosoma cypriense Ebejer, 2021 Fig. 21 Material examined Paratype CYPRUS • 1 ♂; Mazotos beach; 34°46ʹ32ʹʹ N 33°28ʹ12ʹʹ E; 26 Apr. 2002; M.J. Ebejer leg.; on Atriplex L. and Chrysanthemum L.; MJE. Remarks A rather elongate species that most resembles A. melitense Ebejer, 1993 in having strong fronto-orbitals, uniform frontal setulae on a frons that is longer than wide, and long rows of short dorsocentral and acrostichal setae including a prescutellar pair. Unlike A. melitense, A. cypriense does not have any modification of abdominal tergite 4. The original description includes photographs of both sexes.

Other material ISRAEL • 1 ♂, 2 ♀♀; Western Negev, Ezuz; 30°46ʹ N, 34°29ʹ E; 24 Mar. 2000; M.J. Ebejer leg.; on grazed grass and dung; MJE.

Remarks When this species was described the subtle projection on the hind tronchanter was missed. The type series was re-examined and further illustrations provided (Ebejer 2016: 231, figs 14b, 15a–b). The record from Tunisia (Ebejer 1998) is now doubtful considering that many similar species have been described since, and a number of additional similar species known to the author are still awaiting description. Photographs of the holotype are provided here (Figs 39A, 40). Distribution Yemen (Ebejer 1996).

Aphaniosoma claridgei Ebejer 1998
No full textAphaniosoma claridgei Ebejer, 1998 Remarks A species widespread in coastal localities around the Mediterranean that is difficult to identify without examination of the male hypopygium as there are several species almost identical to it in the same geographical area that are often collected with it.

Aphaniosoma proximum Ebejer 1998
No full textAphaniosoma proximum Ebejer, 1998 Remarks This species has much in common with A. notatum and A. scutellare. Being variable in colour pattern adds to the difficulty of identification of species in this complex. The pregenital sternite of A. proximum usually has 2 projecting lobes. The barely noticeable posterior lobes arising from the postero-lateral corners of the sternite just beyond those that project ventrally and arise from the lateral border of the sternite. Basally, the sternite is divided into two more or less rectangular sclerotized parts (Ebejer 1998: 220, fig. 64). In A. scutellare, the posterior projections are not much shorter than those proximal to them and the basal part of the sclerite is complete and irregularly hexagonal (Ebejer 1998: 222, figs 69–70). In both species the sternite is much smaller than that in A. gallagheri, which has a deep U-shaped apical incision and much longer antero-ventrally directed projections from the lateral margins at its caudal end (Ebejer 2009: 401, fig. 46a–b). Distribution Italy (Sardinia and Sicily), Malta, Morocco, Romania, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates (Ebejer 1998, 2005, 2016; Ebejer & Bartak 2019).Published as part of Ebejer, Martin J., 2023, The genus Aphaniosoma Becker, 1903 (Diptera: Chyromyidae) in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, with descriptions of new species, pp. 1-161 in European Journal of Taxonomy 872 on page 130, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2023.872.2131, http://zenodo.org/record/801830
