Afrotropical Asilidae (Diptera) 1. The genus Choerades Walker, 1851 and the descriptions of two new genera, Nannolaphria and Notiolaphria, from southern Africa and Malagasy Republic * Author Loodt, J. G. H.

Fig. 2 Laphria bella Loew, 1858 p. 356 (not Oldroyd's 1974 p. 102 Rhodesian records). The identity of C. bella has never been in doubt. Oldroyd (1974) incorrectly labelled a series of C. aureopilosa males from Rhodesia as L. bella (see under C. aureopilosa ). The male genitalia ( Fig. 2 ) have not been properly described. Gonopodal setae small, inwardly directed and appear to be fused for only half their length. Distal margin of gonopod extended forming two processes; one being close to the gonopodal setae the other situated more laterally ( Fig. 2 ). Hypandrium long and narrow viewed ventrally.
