Revision of the Neotropical hoverfly genus Peradon Reemer (Diptera, Syrphidae, Microdontinae)

The species of the Neotropical hoverfly genus Peradon Reemer, 2013 are revised, based on morphological characters with aid of mitochondrial DNA barcodes. The resulting number of valid species is increased to 31, of which the following seven are described as new: P.ballux Reemer, sp. nov., P.brevis R...

Descripción
Sumario:The species of the Neotropical hoverfly genus Peradon Reemer, 2013 are revised, based on morphological characters with aid of mitochondrial DNA barcodes. The resulting number of valid species is increased to 31, of which the following seven are described as new: P.ballux Reemer, sp. nov., P.brevis Reemer, sp. nov., P.costaricensis Reemer, sp. nov., P.notialus Reemer, sp. nov., P.palpator Reemer, sp. nov., P.pompiloides Reemer, sp. nov., and P.surinamensis Reemer, sp. nov. Two new synonymies are established: Microdonlangi Curran, 1925, syn. nov. and Microdonflavomarginatum Curran, 1925, syn. nov. are both junior synonyms of Muliobidens Fabricius, 1805. A neotype is designated for Microdondiaphanus Sack, 1921. This neotype, which has been reared from an ant nest, also represents the first case of a larval record for this genus. In some species, most notably in P.bidens (Fabricius) and P.normalis (Curran), discrete and distinct colour morphs are recognized, with strongly differing colouration of wings and abdomen.
