Genus of flies
Syntormon is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae . It includes about 110 species worldwide, more than 50 of which were described from the Palaearctic realm .[ 3]
Etymology
Front view of the head of S. pallipes . The small thumb-shaped projection of the second segment of the antennae, after which the genus is named, is visible.
The name Syntormon is derived from the Ancient Greek word συντορμόω (syntormóō , "I connect by inserted pins"); it refers to the second segment of the antennae which has a small thumb-shaped projection going into the inner side of the third segment, appearing as if it were a pin inserted into a socket.[ 1] [ 4] [ 5]

Unrecognised species:

Synonyms:
Syntormon guizhouensis Wang & Yang, 2006 [ 13] is an unavailable name, as it does not satisfy ICZN Articles 16.1 and 16.4: the original publication does not explicitly indicate the name to be intentionally new, and the fixation of name-bearing types for the species is not explicit.[ 17]
Notes
^ Masculine name endings are used in this list following Grichanov (2013), who argued that Syntormon has masculine gender because Loew originally treated it as masculine.[ 3] Alternatively, the genus has been argued to have neuter gender, based on the name ending in "-on ".[ 6] This would mean the species names would instead have neuter endings, e.g. "tarsatum " instead of "tarsatus ". This does not apply to species names using nouns in apposition , such as aotearoa and macula , which retain the original spelling regardless of gender. A case on the subject of the gender of Syntormon has been submitted to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature .[ 7]
^ This species is sometimes treated as a synonym of Syntormon pallipes .
