Abstract

A new species, Platydipteron balli (type locality near San José, Costa Rica), and first male specimens of Platydipteron are described. Based on these specimens, the genus is transferred from the Aenigmatiinae to the Metopininae. Male terminalia of Postoptica platypezoidea are described, and the genus is placed in the subfamily Phorinae.
