Review of Anasillomos Londt, 1983 with the description of a new species (Insecta: Diptera: Asilidae) Author Dikow, Torsten text Biodiversity Data Journal 2015 3 4652 4652 http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.3.e4652 journal article http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.3.e4652 1314-2828--4652 Anasillomos Londt, 1983 Anasillomos Anasillomos chrysopos Londt, 1983 Londt 1983 : 284. Diagnosis Anasillomos has been included in the most recent key to Afrotropical Stenopogoninae sensu Papavero (1973) and Geller-Grimm (2004) with setose anatergites by Londt (2012) . It can easily be distinguished from other southern African assassin-fly genera by the presence of strong macrosetae on the antepronotum, lateral postpronotum, and postpronotal lobes. Taxon discussion The phylogenetic studies on Asilidae based on both morphological ( Dikow 2009a ) and combined morphological and molecular data ( Dikow 2009b ) did not include representatives of Anasillomos and therefore the taxon cannot be directly placed in the phylogenetic classification proposed in Dikow (2009a) . The external morphology suggests that Anasillomos belongs to the Stenopogoninae sensu Dikow (2009a) based on similarities to Daspletis Loew, 1859 and Microstylum Macquart, 1838 such as the male terminalia with a medio-distally projecting hypandrium (also known in other southern African genera though). These two genera have been included in Stenopogoninae : Enigmomorphini by Dikow (2009a) . However, only the inclusion of Anasillomos specimens in a cladistic analysis can place this genus phylogenetically as overall similarity does not necessarily provide evidence as to the evolutionary relationships.
