Stiletto-flies (Diptera: Therevidae) are highly diverse and species-rich in Australia and New Zealand, yet relatively few species have been recorded from neighbouring Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and throughout the remainder of Oceania. Indeed, in New Caledonia only a single species of the widely distributed Australasian genus Macquart (Therevinae) is previously known. Herein we describe two new agapophytine genera (i.e., , ), together comprising nine charismatic new species; this represents a first record of the subfamily from New Caledonia. The new genera and species are described and figured.
刺足蝇(双翅目:刺足蝇科)在澳大利亚和新西兰种类高度多样且物种丰富,但在邻近的巴布亚新几内亚、印度尼西亚以及大洋洲的其他地区记录的物种相对较少。事实上,在新喀里多尼亚,此前仅知广泛分布的澳大拉西亚属Macquart(刺足蝇亚科)的一个单一物种。在此,我们描述了两个新的阿加波菲廷属(即 , ),共包含九个极具魅力的新物种;这代表了该亚科在新喀里多尼亚的首次记录。对新属和新物种进行了描述并配有图示。
