The Silba admirabilis species group is diagnosed within the genus Silba Macquart by the combination of partly yellow
tarsomeres and the distinctive features of the male genitalia. Thirteen new species within this species group are described from the Afrotropical region; namely Silba bakongo MacGowan sp. nov., Silba boulangi MacGowan sp. nov., Silba bredoi MacGowan sp. nov., Silba garamba MacGowan sp. nov., Silba hambai MacGowan sp. nov., Silba inimvua MacGowan sp. nov., Silba lubumbashi MacGowan sp. nov., Silba mbuti MacGowan sp. nov., Silba saegeri MacGowan sp. nov., Silba spiculata MacGowan sp. nov., Silba tekei MacGowan sp. nov., Silba upemba MacGowan sp. nov., and Silba wittei MacGowan sp. nov. Ten previously described  species within the genus Silba are also identified as belonging to the S. admirabilis species group. One species of the genus Lonchaea also belonging to this group is re-assigned to Silba.
The synonymies Silba displata McAlpine, 1964 = Silba hilli (Malloch, 1928) and Silba fragranti MacGowan, 2007 = Silba chalkei McAlpine, 1956 are established. A key and illustrations of male genitalia are provided to all species. Further information is presented relating to the taxonomy and distribution of previously described members of this species group whose range extends from the Afrotropical to Australasian regions.

The status of the family Lonchaeidae on the islands of the Fiji group is reviewed. Data are provided from trapping undertaken as part of the NSF-Fiji Terrestrial Arthropod Survey and from Fijian Lonchaeidae in the collections of the Bishop Museum, Hawaii and the Natural History Museum, London. Five new species, Lonchaea fiji sp. nov., Lonchaea melanesia sp. nov., Lonchaea vanua sp. nov., Silba kadavu sp. nov. and Silba setiphallus sp. nov. are described. Two species new to Fiji, Dasiops ruidifrons McAlpine, 1964 amd Lamprolonchaea lustrata McAlpine, 1964, are recorded. Five species previously recorded, Lamprolonchaea brouniana (Bezzi, 1919), Lamprolonchaea smaragdi (Walker, 1849), Lonchaea cyaneonitens Kertész, 1901, Silba calva (Bezzi, 1913) and Silba setifera (de Meijere, 1910) are re-evaluated and are removed from the checklist. The fauna is now considered to comprise of 11 species in 4 genera. A key is provided to the Lonchaeidae present on the islands.

Three new species of Palearctic Protearomyia McAlpine, 1962 are described, P. iberica sp. nov., P. rameli sp. nov. and
P. withersi sp. nov. These are compared with the three previously described species, a key is provided to the males of all

The adult and larvae are described and comparisons are made with other species in the genus. A checklist for the Indian sub-continent is provided which lists twenty four species in four genera including one new species and a further four species recorded from the sub-continent for the first time. The family Lonchaeidae is reported for the first time from the biodiversity hotspot region of the Kashmir valley.1 aMacGowan, Iain1 aRAZAK, NAKEER1 aRotheray, Graham1 aAHMAD, IRFAN uhttps://lonchaeidae.myspecies.info/new-species-fig-feeding-lonchaeidae-diptera-schizophora-india-and-checklist-family-indian-sub-contin01254nas a2200121 4500008004100000245008700041210006900128300001100197490000800208520078600216100001901002856011101021 2005 eng d00aNew species of Lonchaeidae (Diptera; Schizophora) from central and southern Africa0 aNew species of Lonchaeidae Diptera Schizophora from central and  a1 - 230 v9673 a
