Pseudohercostomus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is distributed in the Oriental and Afrotropical realms as well as Chile .
Historically, the genus has generally been placed in the subfamily Dolichopodinae. In 2005, based on a cladistic analysis of the subfamily, Scott E. Brooks excluded Pseudohercostomus from the Dolichopodinae. The systematic position of the genus is still unclear, though a possible relationship with the New World genus Keirosoma has been suggested.[2]
Species
The genus contains five species:[3]
- Pseudohercostomus allini Negrobov, 1988 – Chile
- Pseudohercostomus congoensis Grootaert & Van de Velde, 2021 – DR Congo; Mozambique
- Pseudohercostomus echinatus Stackelberg, 1931 – Java, Indonesia
- Pseudohercostomus sinensis Yang & Grootaert, 1999[4] – China (Yunnan)
- Pseudohercostomus singaporensis Grootaert & Van de Velde, 2021 – Singapore; Cambodia
