Othniomyia Hesse, 1938: 707 View in CoL . Type species: Othniomyia tylopelta Hesse, 1938 View in CoL , by original designation.
Comments: The compact body with the thorax humped is reminiscent of an acrocerid. Aside from its general appearance, the glassy hyaline wings and shape of the antennae distinguish it from other Conophorini. The female genitalia have not previously been described, but are normal for Bombyliinae , with a sand-chamber and acanthophorites bearing spines. The spermatheca lacks end plates on the pump and a distinct bulb; distal to the pump the long tubular duct ends in a narrow curl.
Distribution: Monotypic. South Africa: Western Cape: Othniomyia tylopelta Hesse.
