Evenhuis, 1983: 491; 2002: 26. Zaitzev, 1989: 45. Material examined. Types: TURKMENISTAN: 1 male paratype / Typus Platypygus turkmenorum sp. nov. / Askhabad, Transcaspia, 21.IV. 26 / Paramonov leg./ Zool. Mus. Berlin (ZMHB). Notes on types. Paramonov (1929) originally described Platypygus turkmenorum based on 20 male specimens from “Aschabad, Transcaspia” [= Ashkabad, Turkmenistan] collected on 21 April 1926 by Paramonov. Paramonov (1929) stated “ Typus in meiner Sammlung” and there is a single specimen labeled “ Typus ” in SIZK, which contains Paramonov’s personal collection, so it is the holotype specimen. Of the original 20 specimens, only two (1 in ZMHB and 1 in SIZK) were located by Evenhuis (2002). We have not been able to trace the remaining 18 specimens. We were able to examine the specimen in ZMHB, which although it is labeled as “ Typus ” is a surviving paratype. The holotype in SIZK carries the labels “Ashkabad/ Transcaspia/ 21.IV. 26 / Paramonov leg./ Platypygus turkmenorum / Typus / Paramonov det. ” and is double mounted with a minuten (V. Korneyev, in litt. 25 July 2000). Diagnostic features. Frons yellow with V-shaped black mark near base of antennae; antennae completely black (Fig. 23 a); postgena normal without posterior extension; occiput black, upper part of occiput with long yellowish hairs (Fig. 23 d); mesonotum (Fig. 23 b) minutely hairy, yellow with large contiguous black pattern medially, mark extending anteriorly as stripe to anterior margin of mesonotum; postpronotal lobes and postalar calli yellow; lateral margins of mesonotum yellow; lateral black spot next to transverse suture coalesced with median pattern; black prescutellar area with large yellow oval spot; scutellum completely yellow; halter yellow; costa ends slightly beyond vein R 4 + 5; crossvein r-m at middle of cell dm (Fig. 23 c); legs yellow. Male genitalia. Due to the paucity of available specimens, we did not dissect the male paratype in ZMHB. Distribution. Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. Remarks.. Females of this species are unknown.Published as part of Gharali, Babak, Evenhuis, Neal L. & Almeida, Jorge, 2013, World synopsis of described species of the genus Platypygus Loew (Diptera: Mythicomyiidae: Platypyginae), pp. 199-242 in Zootaxa 3745 (2) on pages 234-236, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3745.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/24854
Apiocera vespera Paramonov 1953
No full text<i>Apiocera vespera</i> Paramonov 1953: 476. <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> A small, elongate, grey and black species. Proboscis 0.6 x length of fore tibia, flagellum 2 x longer than maximum width, costa ending at M veins, vein M3+CuA1 absent, M2 present, becoming pale towards wing margin. Abdomen black with distinctive narrow grey bands on the posterior margin of each tergites.</p> <p> <b>Note</b>: the diagnosis of this species, based on the single holotype specimen from Booanya Rock in Cape Arid National Park and Paramonov’s description, is provisional. The holotype specimen is now lacking a head, and Paramonov did not describe all the features of the head, in particular the antenna. Paramonov described the species as most closely related to <i>A. mackerrasi</i>, and his description of <i>A. vespera</i> compares it with <i>A. mackerrasi</i>. We have assumed that the diagnostic features of the head of this species that were not described by Paramonov are the same as <i>A. mackerrasi</i>. The distinctive grey bands on the abdominal tergites make the species easy to distinguish from all other species in the group.</p>Published as part of <i>Yeates, David K. & Oberprieler, Stefanie K., 2013, Review of the Australian Apiocera minor Norris species-group (Diptera: Apioceridae) with a revised key to species, pp. 195-209 in Zootaxa 3680 (1)</i> on page 199, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3680.1.13, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/218744">http://zenodo.org/record/218744</a>

In Peck (1988: 166), taxon was given as subspecies <i>Merodon aberrans flavitibius</i> Paramanov (sic!), 1926, according to article 45g (II) ICZN (1985). Hurkmans (1993: 176) also left the subspecific rank for the taxon. He also erroneously indicated that Paramonov published the name with a subspecies status (ibid.).

Walkeromyia Paramonov
No full textWalkeromyia Paramonov Walkeromyia Paramonov, 1934: 22. Type species: Anthrax lurida Walker, 1857, by original designation. The reduced fleshy proboscis and labellum, shortened ventral oral recess, wing venation and the bare katatergite in front of the haltere place this genus in the tribe Anthracini, subfamily Anthracinae (Hull 1973). Although Hull (1973) suggested that Walkeromyia should be placed within a separate tribe, Walkeromyini, it remains within Antracini. Walkeromyia differs from other Antracini in its long conical flagellomere and the lack of a hair tuft at the apex of antenna. Characteristics of the genus are the long dense band of slender black scales on the male hind legs, and the generally uniformly brownish yellow wings.Published as part of Ávalos-Hernández, Omar, Lucia, Mariano, Álvarez, Leopoldo J. & Abrahamovich, Alberto H., 2011, Walkeromya plumipes (Philippi) (Diptera: Bombyliidae), a parasitoid associated with carpenter bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Xylocopini) in Argentina, pp. 41-46 in Zootaxa 2935 on page 42, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20653

Paramonov (1929) described Platypygus kurdorum based on 3 specimens from “Kasikoporan” (a town near in what is now Turkey near the Armenian border [40 °01'N, 43 ° 26 'E]) and deposited in SDEI. All three specimens were examined in this study and are in fair condition. Gharali et al. (2011) incorrectly assumed that one specimen in SDEI was a holotype and the other two were in Paramonov’s personal collection. In fact, all three specimens are in SDEI (two were out on loan) and since no such single specimen was ever selected by Paramonov to be a holotype, all are syntypes. Engel (1933: 123) examined the three type specimens and stated “ Type in der Sammlung des Deutsch. Entom. Institutes Berlin-Dahlem”. This statement could be considered a lectotype designation based on Article 74.5 of the ICZN Code; however, no specific specimen was selected so it is impossible to state which of the three was meant to be the type. To avoid confusion, we here select the best preserved of these three syntypes, a female specimen repined into a polyzote stage, as the lectotype female. It carries the following labels (Fig. 7 a): “RUSS. KURDISTAN/ KASIKOPORAN/ E. König” [printed]; “ 7987 ” [handwritten blue]; reverse has “ Holotypus ” [printed]; “ TYPUS ” [printed, crossed out]; “Coll. DEI / Eberswalde” [printed]; “Paramonov det. ” [printed]; “ LECTOTYPE / Platypygus / kurdorum / Paramonov” [handwritten]. The lectotype is pinned through the mesonotum and is missing both antennal flagellomeres, the left wing, and the tip of the proboscis. Eugen König was an insect dealer in St. Petersburg from 1886–1892 and an assistant curator in the Tiflis Museum in Georgia from 1893–1914. We have no information on how or when these specimens came into the hands of Paramonov but, although there is no date of collection of these specimens, given the information we have on König, they were no doubt collected before 1914, and most likely during the years König was in Tiflis. Platypygus kurdorum var. persicus by Paramonov (1934) was described based on 10 specimens collected in 1904 at a number of localities in Iran by Nikolai Alekseyevich Zarudny. All these specimens are deposited in ZIS. A specimen from “Gurzhir”, Loristan, Iran was selected by Zaitzev & Kandybina (1983) as lectotype male. Type material was not examined by us in this study and we follow the synonymy by Zaitzev (1989) of this name under P. kurdorum. Diagnostic features. Face yellow; frons yellow with variable black mark medially (Figs. 7 b, e); antennae black; occiput black except posteriorly projecting postgenal process yellow; pronotum yellow with black mark dorsomedially; mesonotum bare, with three dorsal black stripes, black spot laterally next to transverse suture (sometimes black spot coalesced with lateral stripes); lateral stripes extend from posterior margin of postpronotal lobes to postalar calli, median stripe extends from anterior margin of mesonotum to scutellum (Figs. 7 c, f); scutellum yellow; postpronotal lobes and postalar calli yellow; halter stem and knob yellow; pleura yellow except black spot on anepisternum just posterior to anterior spiracle (Fig. 7 d); black spot on anterodorsal corner of katepisternum and on upper margin of meron; r-m crossvein about the middle of cell dm, cell br longer than cell bm. Male genitalia (Figs. 8 a-d). In lateral view, epandrium trapezoid, longer than high, with two short and acute processes; gonocoxites fused, H-shaped, with some bristly hairs laterally, with two long plates; plates medially twisted; gonostyli clavate, hollowed apically, deeply inserted in gonocoxites; aedeagal bulb large, basal aedeagal apodeme narrow in dorsal view, subrectangular in lateral view, extending forward as long and apically tri-lobate process. Female genitalia (Figs. 8 e, f). Furca U-shaped, sclerotized, lateral arms strongly sclerotized; without sclerotization around genital orifice; common spermathecal duct very short, brown, sclerotized; each spermathecal duct divided into two sections, the basal section, transversely striated, long, broad, basally sclerotized; the apical section as narrow and smooth duct, without distinct sperm pump or valves; basal part of median spermathecal duct narrower than that of lateral ducts, without striation, straight basally, remainder twisted spirally, gradually broadened toward apex; apical ducts eight times narrower than basal ducts, about 0.7 times that of basal ducts in length; lateral spermathecal ducts (only a small part shown in the illustration) about 4 times median duct in width; spermathecal reservoirs pear-shaped, slightly curved at middle, with a small cap apically, cap with hardly visible short and dense canaliculi. Distribution. Iran, Israel (new record), Jordan (new record), Syria (new record), Turkey. Remarks. Gharali et al. (2011) reviewed the status of this species and, after checking one type specimen and recently collected material that matched it, they showed that the distribution of P. kurdorum at that time was known only from Iran and Turkey. We here extend its distribution into the Middle East with records from Israel, Syria, and Jordan. The single Navareh female collected from the west of Iran (Kurdistan region) listed above gives the possibility that this species may also occur in the neighboring Kurdistan region of Iraq.Published as part of Gharali, Babak, Evenhuis, Neal L. & Almeida, Jorge, 2013, World synopsis of described species of the genus Platypygus Loew (Diptera: Mythicomyiidae: Platypyginae), pp. 199-242 in Zootaxa 3745 (2) on pages 211-214, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3745.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/24854
