Syntormon Explained

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.[1]

Etymology

The name Syntormon is derived from the Ancient Greek word Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: συντορμόω ("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.[2] [3]

Species

The following species are included in the genus:

Subgenus Syntormon Loew, 1857:

Subgenus Drymonoeca Becker, 1907:

Synonyms:

Syntormon guizhouensis Wang & Yang, 2006 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.[13]
