Revision of the Neotropical Neuratelia Rondani (Diptera, Mycetophilidae, Sciophilinae): two new species, a new combination, and a new synonym

Abstract. We describe two new Neotropical species of Neuratelia Rondani from the high Central Andes of Colombia, N.altoandinasp. nov. and N.colombianasp. nov. The holotype of Eudicranaelegans Lane actually is a species of Neuratelia and a new combination is proposed. Our examination of the holotype...

description Abstract. We describe two new Neotropical species of Neuratelia Rondani from the high Central Andes of Colombia, N.altoandinasp. nov. and N.colombianasp. nov. The holotype of Eudicranaelegans Lane actually is a species of Neuratelia and a new combination is proposed. Our examination of the holotype of Neurateliasapaici Lane from southeastern Brazil shows this species to be a synonym of N.elegans (Lane), which is formally proposed here. Neurateliasapaici is redescribed. The position of these three species within the genus is discussed. A key for the Neotropical species of Neuratelia is provided.
