The Afrotropical representatives of the hover fly genus Rondani, 1857 (Diptera) are divided into two subgenera, namely s.s. and Séguy, 1951 and, in this present work, the subgenus Mesembrius s.s. is revised. A total of 23 s.s. species are recognised for the Afrotropics. Known species are re-described and six species new to science are described: , , , , and . (Verrall, 1898) is considered a junior synonym of (Macquart, 1842), Hull, 1941 a junior synonym of (Loew, 1858), (Loew, 1869) a junior synonym of (Macquart, 1842) and Curran, 1929 a junior synonym of Curran, 1929. The females of Curran, 1939, Curran, 1927 and (Hull, 1937) are described for the first time. Lectotypes are designated for , , (Bezzi, 1915), (Bezzi, 1915), , (Bezzi, 1912) and (Bigot, 1883). Separate identification keys for males and females are presented. We obtained 236 DNA barcodes for 18 species. The relationships amongst the different species are briefly discussed, based on morphological and DNA barcode data.
1857年的食蚜蝇属(双翅目)在非洲热带地区的代表分为两个亚属,即狭义亚属和塞居伊亚属(1951年)。在本研究中,对狭义的Mesembrius亚属进行了修订。非洲热带地区共识别出23种狭义物种。对已知物种进行了重新描述,并描述了6个新物种: 、 、 、 、 和 。(韦拉尔,1898年)被认为是 (马夸特,1842年)的次异名,赫尔(1941年)是 (洛伊,1858年)的次异名, (洛伊,1869年)是 (马夸特,1842年)的次异名,柯伦(1929年)是柯伦(1929年)的次异名。首次描述了柯伦(1939年)、柯伦(1927年)和 (赫尔,1937年)的雌性。为 、 、 (贝齐,1915年)、 (贝齐,1915年)、 、 (贝齐,1912年)和 (比戈,1883年)指定了选模标本。给出了雄性和雌性的单独鉴定检索表。我们获得了18个物种的236个DNA条形码。基于形态学和DNA条形码数据,简要讨论了不同物种之间的关系。
