Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="syen12080-abs-0001"> <title>Abstract</title> <p id="syen12080-para-0001">Four new genera (<italic>Apomorphyto</italic><bold>gen.n.</bold> from Costa Rica, <italic>Bixinia</italic><bold>gen.n.</bold> from Australia, <italic>Rhinodonia</italic><bold>gen.n.</bold> from New Caledonia, <italic>Rhinopeza</italic><bold>gen.n.</bold> from Papua New Guinea) and nine new species (<italic>Apomorphyto inbio</italic><bold>sp.n.</bold>, <italic>Bixinia collessi</italic><bold>sp.n.</bold>, <italic>B. solitaria</italic><bold>sp.n.</bold>, <italic>B. spei</italic><bold>sp.n.</bold>, <italic>B. variabilis</italic><bold>sp.n.</bold>, <italic>B. winkleri</italic><bold>sp.n.</bold>, <italic>Rhinodonia antiqua</italic><bold>sp.n.</bold>, <italic>R. flavicera</italic><bold>sp.n.</bold>, <italic>Rhinopeza gracilis</italic><bold>sp.n.)</bold> of Rhinophoridae (Diptera: Calyptratae, Oestroidea) are described. All new species were included in a morphology‐based phylogenetic analysis to provide arguments for the justification and monophyly (when nonmonotypic) of the new genera and for including these in the Rhinophoridae. The New Caledonian <italic>Rhinodonia</italic> is a candidate sister taxon to all other rhinophorids, and the Australasian 'axiniine' species emerge inside a clade of all Neotropical taxa thus suggesting migration from South America across Antarctica into Australia.</p> <p id="syen12080-para-0002">This published work has been registered in ZooBank, <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:51C1F448-DDD0-4F14-8173-B8C687F7E841" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:51C1F448‐DDD0‐4F14‐8173‐B8C687F7E841</ext-link>.</p> </abstract>
