Eudorylas Aczel 1940

Description

Genus Eudorylas Aczél, 1940

Eudorylas Aczél, 1940: 151. Type-species: Pipunculus fuscipes Zetterstedt, 1844 (subs. des.; ruling of the ICZN, 2002: 143, Opinion 2000, Case 3132).

Metadorylas Rafael, 1987: 35, figs. 1-8. Type-species: Pipunculus schreiteri Shannon, 1927 (orig. des.). Syn.: Skevington & Yeates (2001) in the sense of P. fuscipes, not Cephalops opacus.

Neodorylas Kuznetzov, 1995: 326. Junior objective synonym (ICZN, 2002). Type-species: Pipunculus fuscipes Zetterstedt, 1844 (orig. des.). Syn.: De Meyer (2001).

Remarks: Eudorylas is a highly heterogeneous genus, and it appeared as paraphyletic in the analysis by Motamedinia et al. (2021) and requires redefinition. As defined presently, it has a cosmopolitan distribution and a wide distribution in the New World, ranging from Canada to Chile.The typical Neotropical Eudorylas was revised by Rafael (1990c) under Metadorylas, presently synonymous with Eudorylas, and the reminder heterogeneous " Eudorylas ″ species were revised by Rafael (1993) treating Mexican and Central American species and Rafael (1995) treating the South American species.
