In the neotropics, vegetation formations at high elevations are often unique, with their own characteristic vegetation because of unique and complex evolutionary histories. The complexity of the biogeographic and ecological structure of the fauna is demonstrated by the specialized fauna and flora occurring in these regions. Fanniidae (Diptera) is one of these specialized groups that became very diversified in the highlands. Currently, of the 91 species of Fanniidae in the Neotropical region, 43 (8 Euryomma, 35 Fannia) occur exclusively in Andean and Central American highlands. Here, we increase that highland diversity by describing 14 new species from 1000-4150 m.a.s.l. in the Andes and Central America: Fannia awa sp. nov., F. bari sp. nov., F. boruca sp. nov., F. bribri sp. nov., F. huetare sp. nov., F. humahuaca sp. nov., F. kabekwa sp. nov., F. palta sp. nov., F. polleti sp. nov., F. quillacingas sp. nov., F. teribi sp. nov., F. terraba sp. nov., F. tsachilas sp. nov. and F. yukpa sp. nov. We also provide an identification key for male specimens and diagnoses and descriptions of the species, along with photographs and illustrations of the male terminalia. New records and updated distributions are also provided for the Andean species.
在新热带地区，高海拔地区的植被形态往往独具特色，由于其独特而复杂的进化历史，拥有自身特有的植被。这些地区特有的动植物群落体现了动物区系生物地理和生态结构的复杂性。厕蝇科（双翅目）就是在高地高度多样化的特有类群之一。目前，新热带地区的91种厕蝇科昆虫中，有43种（8种宽颜厕蝇属，35种厕蝇属）仅分布于安第斯山脉和中美洲的高地。在此，我们通过描述来自安第斯山脉和中美洲海拔1000 - 4150米处的14个新物种，增加了该高地的物种多样性：阿瓦厕蝇新种、巴里厕蝇新种、博鲁卡厕蝇新种、布里布里厕蝇新种、韦塔雷厕蝇新种、胡马瓦卡厕蝇新种、卡贝克瓦厕蝇新种、帕尔塔厕蝇新种、波利蒂厕蝇新种、基利亚辛加斯厕蝇新种、特里比厕蝇新种、特拉瓦厕蝇新种、察奇拉斯厕蝇新种和尤克帕厕蝇新种。我们还提供了雄性标本的鉴定检索表、物种诊断和描述，以及雄性外生殖器的照片和图示。此外，还给出了安第斯山脉物种的新记录和更新后的分布情况。
