The Afrotropical Mydidae genera Ectyphus Gerstaecker, 1868 and Parectyphus Hesse, 1972 are revised. Six species of Ectyphus are recognised (Ectyphus abdominalis Bezzi, 1924, Ectyphus armipes Bezzi, 1924, Ectyphus capillatus Hesse, 1969, Ectyphus pinguis Gerstaecker, 1868, and Ectyphus pretoriensis Bezzi, 1924), of which one is newly described from Kenya, Ectyphus amboselisp. n. Two species, Ectyphus bitaeniatus Hesse, 1969 and Ectyphus flavidorsalis Hesse, 1969, are newly synonymised with Ectyphus pinguis. The monotypic genus Parectyphus Hesse, 1972 and the male of its type species Parectyphus namibiensis Hesse, 1972 are re-described while the female is described for the first time. Comments on the distribution of all species within biodiversity hotspots are given. A dichotomous identification key to the genera and species of world Ectyphinae is provided and illustrated keys to the world Ectyphinae are made available online in both dichotomous and multi-access, matrix-based formats.
对非洲热带区的蝇科属埃克蒂弗斯属(Ectyphus Gerstaecker,1868)和拟埃克蒂弗斯属(Parectyphus Hesse,1972)进行了修订。确认了埃克蒂弗斯属的6个物种(1924年的腹埃克蒂弗斯Ectyphus abdominalis Bezzi、1924年的臂埃克蒂弗斯Ectyphus armipes Bezzi、1969年的毛埃克蒂弗斯Ectyphus capillatus Hesse、1868年的肥埃克蒂弗斯Ectyphus pinguis Gerstaecker以及1924年的比勒陀利亚埃克蒂弗斯Ectyphus pretoriensis Bezzi),其中一个新物种是从肯尼亚描述的,即双角埃克蒂弗斯Ectyphus amboselisp. n.。1969年的双带埃克蒂弗斯Ectyphus bitaeniatus Hesse和1969年的黄背埃克蒂弗斯Ectyphus flavidorsalis Hesse这两个物种被新认定为肥埃克蒂弗斯的同物异名。对单型属拟埃克蒂弗斯属(Parectyphus Hesse,1972)及其模式种纳米比亚拟埃克蒂弗斯(Parectyphus namibiensis Hesse,1972)的雄性进行了重新描述,同时首次描述了其雌性。给出了所有物种在生物多样性热点地区分布的评论。提供了世界埃克蒂弗斯亚科属和物种的二分鉴定检索表,并以二分法和基于矩阵的多途径格式在线提供了世界埃克蒂弗斯亚科的图解检索表。
