Rhinoleucophenga Hendel comprises an unusual Drosophilidae (Diptera) genus with predaceous larvae, currently compounded by 29 nominal species with New World distribution. In the present study, Rhinoleucophenga brasiliensis (Costa Lima) and R. fluminensis (Costa Lima) are redescribed. These two species are commonly misidentified in Drosophilidae species inventories, mainly by the few morphological character details presented in the original taxonomic description. Thus, by the morphological review performed here, lectotype and paralectotypes designed to R. brasiliensis and R. fluminensis, as well as new morphological characters, drawings and photos (for the first time) are presented in order to avoid further taxonomic mistakes with those referred sibling species of Rhinoleucophenga.
白角果蝇属(Hendel)是果蝇科(双翅目)中一个不寻常的属,其幼虫为捕食性,目前包含29个具新热带区分布的命名物种。在本研究中,对巴西白角果蝇(Costa Lima)和弗卢米嫩塞白角果蝇(Costa Lima)进行了重新描述。这两个物种在果蝇科物种清单中常被误认,主要是因为原始分类描述中呈现的形态特征细节较少。因此,通过此处进行的形态学复查,给出了为巴西白角果蝇和弗卢米嫩塞白角果蝇指定的选模标本和副选模标本,以及新的形态特征、绘图和照片(首次),以避免在那些相关的白角果蝇姐妹物种上出现进一步的分类错误。
