new genera and species of scuttle flies (diptera, phoridae) from cameroon

Despite the ongoing challenges in identifying afrotropical phoridae, this study contributes significantly to the understanding of the scuttle flies (diptera: phoridae) from cameroon. following a request from geoff hancock (hunterian museum, glasgow), specimens were examined, leading to the identification of 32 new species blonging to six new genera, including: diaclinella excameroon sp. nov.; dilatoantennatus setaduncus gen. nov., sp. nov.; dohrniphora etiamexsilva sp. nov.; dohrniphora exsilva sp. nov.; immoaristae flavicrusorum gen. nov., sp. nov.; megaselia artusfemur sp. nov.; megaselia breviscosta sp. nov.; megaselia cumcocoa sp. nov.; megaselia dilatorima sp. nov.; megaselia exarbustum sp. nov.; megaselia exngoumou sp. nov.; megaselia exreservo sp. nov.; megaselia fuscustergites sp. nov.; megaselia hancocki sp. nov.; megaselia jarretti sp. nov.; megaselia luteidorsum sp. nov.; megaselia novuspalpi sp. nov.; megaselia octopanni sp. nov.; megaselia pallidaalae sp. nov.; megaselia octopanni sp. nov.; megaselia propowell sp. nov.; megaselia setimesopleuron sp. nov.; megaselia siphunculus sp. nov.; megaselia spernohypandia sp. nov.; megaselia venteralbus sp. nov.; megaselia ventersetae sp. nov.; mirusgenitalis luteithorax gen. nov., sp. nov.; multisetae longicauda gen. nov., sp. nov.; multispinae luteicruris sp. nov.; multivalli longicauda gen. nov., sp. nov.; multivalli secundus sp. nov.; sinearista flavicrus gen. nov., sp. nov..
