Dataset Information

A new species of spider fly in the genus Sabroskya Schlinger from Malawi, with a key to Acrocerinae world genera (Diptera, Acroceridae).

ABSTRACT: In this paper we diagnose the genus Sabroskya Schlinger, 1960 and describe Sabroskya schlingerisp. n. from Malawi. We also provide dichotomous keys to species of Sabroskya and to world genera of the subfamily Acrocerinae, both extant and extinct.
