Sumario:SIMPLE SUMMARY: A new hybotid dance fly (or fast-running fly) genus, Parallelodromia is described along with three new species. The new genus is recorded from South Africa and Turkmenistan. Details are provided regarding the morphology of the flies and the wide geographical gap between the species is discussed. ABSTRACT: Parallelodromia gen. nov. is described with the inclusion of two new species from South Africa (P. glenlyonensis sp. nov. and P. hantamica sp. nov.) and a new species (P. turkmenistanica sp. nov.) from Turkmenistan. The genus is fully illustrated along with a discussion of its unusual disjunct geographic distribution and its phylogenetic relationship within the Tachydromiinae tribe Drapetidini.
