Revision of the genus Philonerax Bromley, 1932 (Diptera: Asilidae: Asilinae) and
two new species
The genus Philonerax described by Bromley in 1932, was sinonimized to
Lochmorhynchus Engel, 1930 by Artigas & Papavero (1995). In this paper Philonerax recovers its
generic status; the species Philonerax cribatus Hull was sinonimized to Ph. mucidus (Walker) and two new
species were described: Ph. amblayoensis sp. nov. from Argentina and Ph. cienagaensis from Argentina and
Bolivia, based mainly on male and female genital characters.
Key words:
Asilidae,
Philonerax, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile
