Afrotropical Asilinae (Asilidae): A provisional key to genera, with a review of the status of Neomochtherus Osten Sacken, 1878, and descriptions of new genera and species Londt, Jason G. H.

Dorsocentrals posterior to transverse suture only. Wing with extensive microtrichial coverage (cell r 5entirely covered). Prothoracic femur with long, fine, hair-like posteroventral setae. Metathoracic coxa with two lateral macrosetae; trochanter brownish yellow; femur entirely brownish yellow anteriorly and with anterior macrosetae mostly yellow/white (a few blackish ones may be present). Abdomen: Ovipositor relatively short and broad (length:width ratio, measured dorsally <3.3) and relatively short and deep (length:depth ratio, measured laterally – <2.8). Gonocoxite length:width ratio 2.1–2.5. Distal margin of S8 with weakly developed sclerotised area. Hypandrium with ventromedial area moderately constricted ( ca. half width of lateral parts). Gonostylus distally clubbed (viewed ventrally).Aedeagal terminal filaments very small and poorly developed. Gonostylus shorter than gonocoxite (viewed ventrally). Aedeagus straight, relatively short and laterally compressed. Epandrium with dorsal process/lobe.   Materialexamined:  Holotype: SOUTH AFRICA: 1ơ, ‘ Sth Africa: Cape Prov/ GraaffReinet/ Valley of Desolation/ 32 °17'S: 24 °28'E/ JGH Londt  5.xii.1988/ Montanemacchia vegit’.  Paratypes: SOUTH AFRICA: 2^, same data as holotype; 1^ ‘ Sth Africa: Cape Prov/ Karoo Nature Reserve/ West of Graaff Reinet/ 32 °16'S: 24 °30'E  1325m/ J&H Londt  8.xii.1989/ nr. Desolationvalley’.   Typelocality: South Africa, Eastern Cape, Graaff-Reinet, Valley of Desolation. Comments: Apart from the species having wings with more extensive microtrichial coverage than other species in the genus, male genital structure is difficult to confuse with congeners. Known only from the typelocality in the Little & Great Karoo climatic region or southern Africa ( Fig. 249). Although  mendaxis known to occur not far from the typelocality of  kolodrilus, these species are not easily confused. 1988-12-05 1989-12-08 1988-12-05 J & H Londt & Desolation South Africa Material 1325 -32.266666 Prov 1211 24.5 Sth Africa 22 33 2 Western Cape holotype [144,1026,718,743] South Africa Valley of Desolation Graaff-Reinet 22 33 1 Eastern Cape holotype
