Resumo
The Ropalomeridae are among some of the least studied families of the order. In Brazil, the studies
on Ropalomeridae are concentrated in the Amazon. At the same time, for the Cerrado, there is only
one recent study carried out in Mato Grosso do Sul, but none for Goiás, where the known records
of species of the family were based on older studies. As a result, there is little knowledge about the
taxonomy, distribution, and biology of the group in the country, particularly, in Goiás. This study
aims to fill gaps in taxonomic and distributional knowledge and broaden our knowledge of the
Diptera Brazilian fauna in the state, focusing on the Ropalomeridae. To achieve this, we used
specimens deposited in the Coleção Zoológica da Universidade Federal de Goiás (ZUFG),
collected in six different locations in the state: Reserva particular de Desenvolvimento Sustentável
Legado Verdes do Cerrado, Niquelândia; Parque Nacional das Emas, Mineiros; Chácara Nossa
Senhora Aparecida, Varjão; Floresta Nacional de Silvânia, Silvânia; Santa Bárbara de Goiás and
Goiânia.With this study on the species diversity of Ropalomeridae in Goiás, we produced an
illustrated and current list of ropalomerid species for the state. A total of 114 specimens were
examined, belonging to three genera and 11 species or morphospecies, four of which represent new
records for the state, as well as two possible new species of the genera Kroeberia Lindner, 1930
and Ropalomera Wiedemann, 1824. Therefore, the number of species in the state rises from seven
previously known species to 11 species, not including the morphospecies.
