    Curtonotum : Macquart 1844

    1.2. Curtonotum Macquart Type species: Musca gibba Fabricius, 1805 [preoccupied], by original designation. [The name of the Type species is a junior primary homonym preoccupied by Musca gibba Müller, 1776: 175 and M. gibba Rossi, 1794: 73. Curtonotum taeniatum Hendel, 1913: 629 was accepted as the replacement name by Thompson and Pont (1993)]. Species included: 73. Klymko and Marshall (2011) noted that there were no obvious synapomorphies for the genus Curtonotum, with the possible exception of the spinose costa. A costal margin with very long, conspicuous, closely-packed spines (16) may be a homologue and have been lost in the Axinota pictiventris species-group.Published as part of Kirk-Spriggs, Ashley H. & Wiegmann, Brian M., 2013, A revision of Afrotropical Quasimodo flies (Diptera: Schizophora; Curtonotidae).

    1.2.8. &lt;i&gt;Curtonotum uncinatum&lt;/i&gt; species-group &lt;p&gt;Species included: 10 (Afrotropical).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Synapomorphy: Distiphallus with two dorsally-directed basal spines or dorsal ridge (45). Tsacas (1977) regarded 9 of the 10 species here ascribed to the species-group as a single species, &lt;i&gt;C&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;cuthbertsoni&lt;/i&gt;. The 10 species are virtually identical externally and are only separable on the basis of slight, but consistent differences in the shape of the basiphallus and distiphallus of the male terminalia. As attested by the above-mentioned synapomorphy, they are here regarded as being sufficiently distinct to warrant inclusion in a species-group of their own.&lt;/p&gt;Published as part of &lt;i&gt;Kirk-Spriggs, Ashley H. &amp; Wiegmann, Brian M., 2013, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;strong&gt; A revision of Afrotropical Quasimodo flies (Diptera: Schizophora; Curtonotidae).

    1.2.9. &lt;i&gt;Curtonotum stuckenbergi&lt;/i&gt; species-group &lt;p&gt;Species included: 7 (Afrotropical; confined to Madagascar).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Synapomorphy: Basiphallus heavily sclerotised, markedly expanded apically and narrowed pre-apically (47). Tsacas (1977) included all species then known from Madagascar in his &lt;i&gt;cuthbertsoni&lt;/i&gt; species-group. Seven of the species recorded from the island are regarded as being sufficiently distinct to warrant inclusion in a species-group of their own, as attested by the above-mentioned synapomorphy. A more complete molecular study of the Malagasy &lt;i&gt;Curtonotum&lt;/i&gt; fauna is required to ascertain whether this species-group is truly monophyletic.&lt;/p&gt;Published as part of &lt;i&gt;Kirk-Spriggs, Ashley H. &amp; Wiegmann, Brian M., 2013, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;strong&gt; A revision of Afrotropical Quasimodo flies (Diptera: Schizophora; Curtonotidae).
