All the Afrotopical Limnophora Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera, Muscidae) deposited in the Natural History Museum, London (United Kingdom) were analyzed, including the types of the species described by Emden, mainly from the British Museum (Natural History) Ruwenzori Expedition of 1934-1935. Diagnoses and notes on all the species recorded from the Afrotropical region are given, together with illustrations of the male terminalia (when sufficient material was available), some of which are given for the first time. We made the following taxonomic changes: Limnophora terrestris Paterson, 1955 is a junior synonym of Limnophora translucida Stein, 1913 (syn. nov.); Limnophora aculeipes latilamellata Malloch, 1921 has its status revised and is elevated to species rank (stat. rev.) with Limnophora aculeipes eurymetopa Emden, 1951 proposed as a junior synonym (syn. nov.); L. majuscula kinangopana Emden, 1951 is also raised to species rank (stat. nov.). Four new species are described: Limnophora alta sp. nov.; Limnophora nuda sp. nov.; Limnophora numerosa sp. nov. and Limnophora sinuosa sp. nov., with illustrations of male terminalia.
对存放在英国伦敦自然历史博物馆的所有非洲区的亮斑蝇属（双翅目，蝇科）进行了分析，包括埃姆登描述的物种模式标本，主要来自1934 - 1935年大英博物馆（自然历史）鲁文佐里探险队的标本。给出了所有记录于非洲热带地区物种的诊断和注释，并配有雄性外生殖器插图（当有足够材料时），其中一些是首次提供。我们进行了以下分类学修订：1955年的陆生亮斑蝇是1913年的半透明亮斑蝇的次异名（新异名）；1921年的宽板刺足亮斑蝇的分类地位得到修订，提升为物种等级（修订地位），1951年的宽额刺足亮斑蝇被提议作为次异名（新异名）；1951年的大亮斑蝇基南戈帕纳种也提升为物种等级（新地位）。描述了四个新物种：高亮斑蝇新种；裸亮斑蝇新种；多亮斑蝇新种和弯亮斑蝇新种，并配有雄性外生殖器插图。
