Australian stiletto flies of the sister-genera Acupalpa Kröber, 1912 and Pipinnipons Winterton, 2001 (Diptera: Therevidae: Agapophytinae) are revised. Twelve new species of Acupalpa are described, while Acupalpa imitans (White, 1915), comb. n. is transferred from Pipinnipons and Acupalpa albimanis (Kröber, 1914), comb. n. is transferred from Ectinorhynchus Macquart as a senior synonym of Acupalpa pollinosa Mann. The total number of species of Acupalpa is therefore increased to 19: Acupalpa albimanis (Kröber), comb. n., Acupalpa albitarsa Mann, Acupalpa bohartisp. n., Acupalpa divisa (Walker), Acupalpa dolichorhynchasp. n., Acupalpa glossasp. n., Acupalpa imitans (White), comb. n., Acupalpa irwini Winterton, Acupalpa melanophaeossp. n.,Acupalpa miaboolyasp. n., Acupalpa minutasp. n., Acupalpa minutoidessp. n., Acupalpa notomelassp. n., Acupalpa novayamarnasp. n., Acupalpa rostrata Kröber, Acupalpa semirufa Mann, Acupalpa westralicasp. n., Acupalpa yalgoosp. n. and Acupalpa yanchepsp. n. Three new species of Pipinnipons are described, increasing the total number of species to five: Pipinnipons chauncyvallissp. n., Pipinnipons fascipennis (Kröber), Pipinnipons kampmeieraesp. n., Pipinnipons kroeberi Winterton, and P. sphecodasp. n.Pipinnipons and Acupalpa are rediagnosed in light of the new species presented herein and revised keys to species are included. A dichotomous key to genera of Australasian Therevidae is included. As an empirical example of cybertaxonomy, taxonomic descriptions were composed using a character matrix developed in Lucid Builder (in Structured Descriptive Data (SDD) format) to generate natural language descriptions supplemented by online specimen and image databases. Web resources are provided throughout the document including: a) links to high resolution colour images of all species on Morphbank, b) registration of authors, publications, taxon names and other nomenclatural acts in Zoobank, with assignment of Life Science Identifiers (LSIDs) for each, c) links to Genbank accession records for DNA sequences, and d) assignment of LSIDs to specimen records with links to respective records in an online Therevidae specimen database.
对澳大利亚的姐妹属——1912年的尖腹蝇属(Acupalpa Kröber)和2001年的管腹蝇属(Pipinnipons Winterton)(双翅目:长足虻科:Agapophytinae亚科)进行了修订。描述了12个尖腹蝇属新物种,同时,仿尖腹蝇(Acupalpa imitans (White, 1915),新组合)从管腹蝇属转移至尖腹蝇属,白手尖腹蝇(Acupalpa albimanis (Kröber, 1914),新组合)从长吻虻属(Ectinorhynchus Macquart)转移至尖腹蝇属,作为花粉尖腹蝇(Acupalpa pollinosa Mann)的次异名。因此,尖腹蝇属的物种总数增加到19种:白手尖腹蝇(Acupalpa albimanis (Kröber),新组合);白跗尖腹蝇(Acupalpa albitarsa Mann);博氏尖腹蝇(Acupalpa bohartisp. n.);分尖腹蝇(Acupalpa divisa (Walker));长吻尖腹蝇(Acupalpa dolichorhynchasp. n.);舌尖腹蝇(Acupalpa glossasp. n.);仿尖腹蝇(Acupalpa imitans (White),新组合);欧文尖腹蝇(Acupalpa irwini Winterton);黑面尖腹蝇(Acupalpa melanophaeossp. n.);米亚布利尖腹蝇(Acupalpa miaboolyasp. n.);微小尖腹蝇(Acupalpa minutasp. n.);类微小尖腹蝇(Acupalpa minutoidessp. n.);南黑尖腹蝇(Acupalpa notomelassp. n.);新亚玛纳尖腹蝇(Acupalpa novayamarnasp. n.);喙尖腹蝇(Acupalpa rostrata Kröber);半红尖腹蝇(Acupalpa semirufa Mann);西澳尖腹蝇(Acupalpa westralicasp. n.);亚尔戈尖腹蝇(Acupalpa yalgoosp. n.)和扬切普尖腹蝇(Acupalpa yanchepsp. n.)。描述了3个管腹蝇属新物种,使物种总数增加到5种:昌西谷管腹蝇(Pipinnipons chauncyvallissp. n.);束翅管腹蝇(Pipinnipons fascipennis (Kröber));坎普迈尔管腹蝇(Pipinnipons kampmeieraesp. n.);克罗伯管腹蝇(Pipinnipons kroeberi Winterton)和胡蜂管腹蝇(P. sphecodasp. n.)。根据本文提出的新物种对管腹蝇属和尖腹蝇属进行了重新诊断,并给出了修订后的物种检索表。还包括了澳大拉西亚长足虻科属的二叉检索表。作为网络分类学的一个实证例子,分类描述是使用在Lucid Builder中开发的特征矩阵(结构化描述数据(SDD)格式)编写的,以生成由在线标本和图像数据库补充的自然语言描述。文档中提供了网络资源,包括:a)指向Morphbank上所有物种高分辨率彩色图像的链接;b)在动物分类学数据库(Zoobank)中对作者、出版物、分类单元名称和其他命名行为的注册,并为每个行为分配生命科学标识符(LSID);c)指向DNA序列的Genbank登录记录的链接;d)为标本记录分配LSID,并链接到在线长足虻科标本数据库中的相应记录。
