Remotomyia longipalpus Londt A review of the genera Anasillomos Londt, 1983, Oratostylum Ricardo, 1925, and Remotomyia Londt, 1983, with description of a new genus and two new species (Diptera: Asilidae: Stenopogoninae) Torsten Dikow Jason G. H. Londt Ann. Natal Mus. 2000 41 107 121 4RRJS 1717620 Londt Londt Insecta Asilidae Remotomyia Animalia Diptera 12 119 Arthropoda species longipalpus   Remotomyia longipalpus Londt, 1983: 304-305.  Material examined: BOTSWANA: 1♂ holotype, 'Plantation / Serowe [ 22°23'S 26°43'E]; Botswana / Forchhammer leg. / Date: 6.9.1982/ J.No. / day'( NMSA); 1♀, Serowe, 25.xi.1983, Forchhammer, Plantation, day ( NMSA). ZIMBABWE: 3♂ 3 ♀, Lake Kariba Pimple Island, 1620DB, ix-x. 1985, M.I.R. Hall, Colophospermum Mopane rocky hilltop style terrain ( NMSA).  Remarks: This species is variable. All specimens from northern Zimbabwe have cell r 5widely open, whereas this cell is closed in the material from Botswana. The very long maxillary palpi are a good character for identification of the species. There are certain similarities to Oratostylum, for example the elongated palpi and the well pronounced facial swelling, but we treat longipalpusas a species of Remotomyia because of the strong macrosetae on the pronotum and postpronotal lobes, and the strong anteriorly directed setae on T 6-7 infemales.
