Abstract

The Old World species of Ceroptera Macquart, 1835 are reviewed and keyed. Six new species C. armata sp. n. (Namibia), C. globosa sp. n. (Namibia), C. inermis sp. n. (Namibia), C. minuscula sp. n. (Namibia), C. nigra sp. n. (Namibia), and C. setiscutellata sp. n. (Kenya))are described from the Afrotropical region and one species, C. moroccana sp. n. from the Palaearctic region. Ceroptera flava Vanschuytbroeck, 1959 is a new junior synonym of C. crispa (Duda, 1925). Ceroptera ndelelensis Vanschuytbroeck, 1959 (= Ceroptera pelengensis Vanschuytbroeck, 1959, syn. n.) is a species of Aspinilimosina L. Papp, 2004 (A. ndelelensis Vanschuytbroeck, 1959), comb. n.), which was formerly known from the Oriental region. The importance of male genitalia characters is stressed and a characterisation of the species groups based on male genitalia characters is delineated. With 99 original figures
