Revision of the fishfly genus Platychauliodes Esben-Petersen (Megaloptera: Corydalidae) endemic to South Africa

摘要

The genus Platychauliodes Esben-Petersen is a group of fishflies endemic to South Africa. The group has not received attention in over 40 years. All three species of Platychauliodes are redescribed in detail and a key to the adults presented. Chauliodes tenuis McLachlan, 1869 and Platychauliodes woodi Barnard, 1931 are treated as junior synonyms of P. pusillus (McLachlan, 1867).
