Afrotropical Asilidae species catalog
Species catalog of 1,703 valid Afrotropical Asilidae species (1,991 names including 241 synonyms, 13 homonyms, 32 nomina nuda, and 2 unavailable names). There are 27 species that have not, for a variety of reasons, been assigned to any Afrotropical genus (Oldroyd 1980: 373 lists 14 unplaced species, Londt and Dikow 2017: 48 list 22 unplaced species). In all instances, the type specimens require re-examination and at least some of these appear to have been lost. A search by subfamily "unplaced" will show these species below.
This online catalog is based on the Afrotropical catalog by Oldroyd (1980), was kept up-to-date by Jason Londt until 2016, and is now updated by Torsten Dikow.
