Syntormon is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes about 110 species worldwide, more than 50 of which were described from the Palaearctic realm.[3]

Etymology

[edit | edit source]
Front view of the head of S. pallipes. The small thumb-shaped projection of the second segment of the antennae, after which the genus is named, is visible.

The name Syntormon is derived from the Ancient Greek word συντορμόω (syntormóō, "I connect by inserted pins"); it refers to the second segment of the antennae which has a small thumb-shaped projection going into the inner side of the third segment, appearing as if it were a pin inserted into a socket.[1][4][5]

Species

[edit | edit source]

The following species are included in the genus:[note 1]

Subgenus Syntormon Loew, 1857:

Subgenus Drymonoeca Becker, 1907:

Unrecognised species:

  • Syntormon decoratus (Haliday, 1832)

Synonyms:

Syntormon guizhouensis Wang & Yang, 2006[13] is an unavailable name, as it does not satisfy ICZN Articles 16.1 and 16.4: the original publication does not explicitly indicate the name to be intentionally new, and the fixation of name-bearing types for the species is not explicit.[17]

Notes

[edit | edit source]
  1. ^ Masculine name endings are used in this list following Grichanov (2013), who argued that Syntormon has masculine gender because Loew originally treated it as masculine.[3] Alternatively, the genus has been argued to have neuter gender, based on the name ending in "-on".[6] This would mean the species names would instead have neuter endings, e.g. "tarsatum" instead of "tarsatus". This does not apply to species names using nouns in apposition, such as aotearoa and macula, which retain the original spelling regardless of gender. A case on the subject of the gender of Syntormon has been submitted to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.[7]
  2. ^ This species is sometimes treated as a synonym of Syntormon pallipes.
