Abstract
The formerly Oriental genus Griphophanes Grootaert & Meuffels, 1998 and mainly Oriental genus Nepalomyia Hollis, 1964, are recorded from the Afrotropical Region for the first time. Descriptions of four new species: Griphophanes congoensis sp. nov. and G. garambaensis sp. nov. from DR Congo, Nepalomyia kotrbae sp. nov. and N. reunionensis sp. nov. from Reunion are provided. A key to genera of Peloropeodinae and a key to species of Griphophanes are compiled.References
