Abstract

Second addition to the Afrotropical Dolichopodoidae (Diptera) Catalog (2018) and its supplement (2020) includes new species, new synonyms and new records published mainly in 2021–2022 and in few papers published earlier or later. A new species Syntormon drakei Grichanov, sp. nov. is described from Kenya, based on earlier misidentification. The list contains addition of 36 species, and exclusion of five names placed in synonymy and two non- Afrotropical species (Pseudohercostomus echinatus, Syntormon fuscipes), resulting in a new total of 844 (including 14 doubtful) dolichopodoid species and subspecies in the Afrotropical fauna.
