A New Species of Neostenoptera from the Congo* (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

A New Species of Neostenoptera from the Congo* (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) Summary A new species of Heteropezini, Neostenoptera congoensis, recently caught in the People's Republic of the Congo, is described, illustrated, and compared with its closest relatives including a species known from a specimen preserved in African copal. The point is made that fossils and their names are ignored which results in nomenclatural confusion and loss of potential systematic information. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N S ) Taylor & Francis

Abstract

Summary A new species of Heteropezini, Neostenoptera congoensis, recently caught in the People's Republic of the Congo, is described, illustrated, and compared with its closest relatives including a species known from a specimen preserved in African copal. The point is made that fossils and their names are ignored which results in nomenclatural confusion and loss of potential systematic information.
