Empty genera in Piophilidae #351

Open jhnwllr opened 2 years ago

jhnwllr commented 2 years ago

There are a bunch of empty genera in this family, apparently left over when the included species were synonymized into other genera. They are as follows:

Ambopogon into Amphipogon (McAlpine 1977) ?Agrodaeta into Amphipogon. This genus doesn't appear anywhere except IRMNG, where I think it is a synonym for Macrochira, itself a synonym for Amphipogon.
