Abstract

In this work, the author make a taxonomic revision of the seven species with larvae haematophages, known in the genus Auchmeromyia Brauer & Bergenstamm, on the basis of male genitalia of those. For the first time it present the type of structure of the phallosome of the genus, the keys of identifications and complete descriptions of the species and gives the illustrations of the male
genitalia for each species. Only Auchmeromyia reidi Zumpt, 1959 remained in a dubious taxonomic situation, because the types of this species are untraceable until now.
