Sybistroma is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae.[9] It includes over 50 species, described mainly from the Palaearctic and Oriental realms. A single species is known from the Afrotropical realm. Until 2005, the genus was thought to be restricted to the Mediterranean in distribution, with five known species. It was recently expanded to include the former genera Hypophyllus, Ludovicius and Nodicornis, as well as some species of Hercostomus.[10]
Species
The following species are included in the genus:[note 1]
^Under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Article 30, the genus Sybistroma must have neuter gender, as the name ending "-stroma" is from the Ancient Greekστρῶμα, meaning "bed".[11] Because of this, neuter name endings are used in this list. Alternatively, Grichanov and Kazerani (2014) have argued that Sybistroma has feminine gender, because Meigen originally included the species "Sybistroma nodicornis" (rather than neuter "nodicorne"), and subsequent authors described species in the genus with feminine endings.[12] This would mean that any species names that are declinable adjectives would instead have feminine endings, e.g. "caudata" instead of "caudatum", "obscurella" instead of "obscurellum", etc.
