Systematic revision of the fruit fly genus Carpophthoromyia Austen (Diptera, Tephritidae)

The Afrotropical fruit fly genus Carpophthoromyia Austen is revised. In total, 17 species are recognized of which 7 are new to science: C. debeckeri sp. n., C. dividua sp. n., C. flavofasciata sp. n., C. interrupta sp. n., C. radulata sp. n., C. schoutedeni sp. n. and C. virgata sp. n.. Carpophthoromyia amoena Enderlein is considered a junior synonym of C. vittata ( Fabricius). C. angusticeps Bezzi is considered not to belong to Carpophthoromyia but to the gastrozonine genus Clinotaenia Bezzi: Clinotaenia angusticeps ( Bezzi) comb. nov. A lectotype is designated for each of C. litterata, C. pseudotritea, and C. tessmanni. All species are described or re-described, with illustrations of wing patterns and male and female terminalia where deemed necessary for unambiguous identification. An identification key to species is provided.
