Abstract

The present catalogue of Anthomyiidae attempts to list all species (173) described or recorded from mainland China (165) and Taiwan (8) that for various reasons are not treated in "Flies of China" from 1998. The catalogue further lists Chinese species that are presently standing in new generic combinations compared to those of "Flies of China", species that have changed name because of synonymy or misidentification, and species upgraded from subspecies to species. Regional distribution by province is specified for all species. Literature sources to descriptions or records of anthomyiid species from China are only given for those 173 species not covered by "Flies of China". Four new combinations are proposed: Enneastigmafulva (Malloch, 1934), Enneastigmahenanensis (Ge & Fan, 1982), Enneastigmalengshanensis (Xue, 2001) and Hylemyaqinghaiensis (Fan, Chen & Ma, 1989). Eremomyiaturbida Huckett, 1951 is revived from synonymy with Chortophilatriticiperda Stein, 1900 (current name Eutrichotaturbida). One subspecies is upgraded to species: Adiaasiatica Fan, 1988. The following eight new synonymies are proposed: Deliapectinatorfuscilateralis Fan in Fan & Zheng, 1992 with Deliapectinator Suwa, 1984; Eremomyiapilimanapilimarginata Fan & Qian in Fan, Chen, Ma & Ge, 1982 with Eremomyiaturbida Huckett, 1951 (current name Eutrichotaturbida); Lopesohylemya Fan, Chen & Ma, 1989 with Hylemya Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830; Deliomyia Fan in Fan et al., 1988 with Subhylemyia Ringdahl, 1933; Hydrophoriadisticrassa Xue & Bai, 2009 with Hydrophoriapullata Wu, Liu & Wei, 1995 (current name Zaphnepullata); Heteroterma Wei, 2006 with Scathophaga Meigen, 1803; Heterotermafanjingensis Wei, 2006 with Scathophagacurtipilata Feng, 2002; Scatomyzafansipanicola Ozerov in Ozerov & Krivosheina, 2011 with Scathophagacurtipilata Feng, 2002. The genus Heteroterma Wei, 2006 and species Heterotermafanjingensis Wei, 2006 are reassigned from Anthomyiidae to Scathophagidae.
