Abstract

First addition to the Afrotropical Dolichopodoidae (Diptera) Catalogue (2018) includes new species, new synonyms published in 2018–2020 and a few missing species published earlier. Syntormoneura Curran, 1926 syn. nov. is newly synonymised with Telmaturgus Mik, 1874. Syntormon pallipes longistylus Grichanov, 2001 is raised to a species level, Syntormon longistylus Grichanov, 2001 (stat. nov.). The addition of one subfamily, one tribe and 38 species and exclusion of three species (Campsicnemus armatus, Condylostylus congensis, Orthoceratium lacustre) result in a new total of 810 dolichopodoid species and subspecies in the Afrotropical fauna.
