title: A revision of the shore-fly genusLamproclasiopaHendel (Diptera, Ephydridae).
abstract: The species of the genusLamproclasiopaHendel are revised, including 13 new species (type locality in parenthesis):Lamproclasiopa aliceae(United States. New Mexico. Grant: Silver City (Big Ditch; 32°46.4'N, 108°16.5'W; 1790 m)),Lamproclasiopa argentipicta(Costa Rica. San José. Zurquí de Moravia (10°2.8'N, 84°0.6'W)),Lamproclasiopa auritunica(Bolívia. Oruro: Paznã (S. of the town; 18°36.2'S, 66°54.7'W, 3750 m).),Lamproclasiopa brunnea(Costa Rica. San José. Zurquí de Moravia (10°2.8'N, 84°0.6'W)),Lamproclasiopa caligosa(Chile. Osorno: Anticura (1 km W; 40°39'S, 72°10'W; 430 m)),Lamproclasiopa curva(Chile. Los Lagos: Chiloé Island, Chepu (on seashore; 42°5'S, 73°59.65'W)),Lamproclasiopa ecuadoriensis(Ecuador. Orellana: Río Tiputini Biodiversity Station (0°38.2'S, 76°8.9'W)),Lamproclasiopa furvitibia(Costa Rica. San José. Zurquí de Moravia (10°2.8'N, 84°0.6'W)),Lamproclasiopa lapaz(Bolívia. La Paz: La Paz (6 km NE; 16°25.7'S, 68°04.3'W; 4130m)),Lamproclasiopa mancha(Brazil. Paraná: Curitiba, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Reserva Biológica (25°26.9'S, 49°14'W; 915 m)),Lamproclasiopa triangularis(Peru. Madre de Dios: Río Manu, Pakitza (11°56.6'S, 71°16.9'W; 250 m)),Lamproclasiopa xanthocera(Brazil. Paraná. Curitiba, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Reserva Biológica (25°26.9'S, 49°14'W; 915 m)),Lamproclasiopa zerafael(Brazil. Amazonas: Reserva Ducke (02°55.8'S, 59°58.5'W; 40 m)). All known species are described with an emphasis on structures of the male terminalia, which are fully illustrated. Detailed locality data and distribution maps for all species are provided. For perspective and to facilitate genus-group and species-group recognition, the tribe Discocerinini is diagnosed and a key to genera in the New World is provided.
