In: Book of Abstracts of the 24th Congress of the Entomological Society of Southern Africa (ESSA XXIV), 08-11 July 2025, Bloemfontein, South Africa, ed. by University of the Free State, pp. 32.
The taxonomy of the Afrotropical hover fly genus Chasmomma Bezzi (Diptera: Syrphidae) is revised. In total, six species are recognized, of which one is new to science. Known species are redescribed and the female of C. minutum is described for the first time. DNA barcoding allowed to unambiguously identify all species. A phylogenetic analysis of full mitochondrial genomes yielded a fully resolved species tree.
