Two new Southern African Apatomyza Wiedemann (Diptera, Bombyliidae, Crocidiinae) with discussion on their phylogenetic position
Two new species of Apatomyza Wiedemann from South Africa, A. whocantell spec. nov. and A. angusticephala spec. nov., are described, illustrated, and placed within the most recent key to species. Into the data matrix recently used to infer a phylogenetic hypothesis for the subfamily, were added the t...

| Summary: | Two new species of Apatomyza Wiedemann from South Africa, A. whocantell spec. nov. and A. angusticephala spec. nov., are described, illustrated, and placed within the most recent key to species. Into the data matrix recently used to infer a phylogenetic hypothesis for the subfamily, were added the two new taxa, in order to verify their position and relationships. They form the most apical clade in Apatomyza.<br>Duas novas espécies de Apatomyza Wiedemann da África do Sul, A. whocantell spec. nov. e A. angusticephala spec. nov., são descritas, ilustradas, e incluídas na mais recente chave para espécies. Na matriz de dados recentemente utilizada para inferir a hipótese filogenética da subfamília, foram adicionados os dois novos táxons, visando verificar sua posição e relacionamento. Elas formam o clado mais apical em Apatomyza. |
