| Abstract: | Two new species of Neotropical ant-decapitating flies, Apocephalus codonus from Trinidad and A. scaurus from Costa Rica and Colombia, are described. Both belong in the attine ant-parasitizing Apocephalus attophilus-group, although hosts are unknown for either species. Apocephalus codonus is most closely related to A. hibbsi and A. patulus Brown, whereas A. scaurus is related to the newly hypothesized sister-species pair A. ritualis Brown + A. wallerae Disney. |
