Abstract
Pseudoptilolepis Snyder, 1949 (Diptera: Muscidae) is a Neotropical genus with 10 known species. The present paper describes a new species from Parque Nacional do Itatiaia (PNI). Male and female terminalia were dissected and illustrated.
Highlights
Pseudoptilolepis Snyder, 1949 (Diptera: Muscidae) has its distribution restricted to the Neotropics (Lopes & Carvalho, 1985) and was orig‐ inally proposed to four species: P. fulvapoda, P. nigripoda, P. nudapleura and P. confusa
Lopes & Carvalho (1985) described the male of P. nudapleura and illustrated, for the first time, the terminalia of the four species previously described by Snyder (1949)
They re‐ corded the occurrence of P. fluminensis and P. fulvapoda from Curitiba (Paraná, Brazil)
Summary
Pseudoptilolepis Snyder, 1949 (Diptera: Muscidae) has its distribution restricted to the Neotropics (Lopes & Carvalho, 1985) and was orig‐ inally proposed to four species: P. fulvapoda, P. nigripoda, P. nudapleura and P. confusa. Albuquerque (1954) added a new species, P. fluminensis. Pont (1972) proposed, in the Neotropical catalog, the new combination of Mydaea latipalpis Stein, 1918 to Pseudoptilolepis, already supported by previous considerations of Snyder (1949) and Albuquerque (1954).
