(Diptera: Empididae: Empidinae: Empidini) is described and includes the following five new species from French Guiana and the USA: Rhamphempis concava\u00a0sp. nov. (France: French Guiana, Roura); R. distincta\u00a0sp. nov. (France: French Guiana, Roura); R. mirifica\u00a0sp. nov. (France: French Guiana, R\u00e9gina); R. montreuili\u00a0sp. nov. (Type species, France: French Guiana, Mitaraka, Roura, St-Georges-de-l\u2019Oyapock); and R. septentrionalis\u00a0sp. nov. (USA: Maryland, College Park). The genus differs from other empidine genera by the following combination of characters: scape and postpedicel lengthened, proboscis long, strongly sclerotised with labella as long as prementum bearing annulations, wing with R2+3 somewhat shortened, more or less recurved at pterostigma, R4+5 unforked, base of abdomen yellowish in male, brownish to blackish in female, male pregenital segments strongly modified and postabdomen more or less downcurved, presence of large surstylus, very fine and long phallus. The genus is fully illustrated and keyed along with a discussion of its peculiar disjunct geographic distribution and its phylogenetic relationship within the tribe Empidini.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/insects15070524","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,11]],"date-time":"2024-07-11T15:59:48Z","timestamp":1720713588000},"page":"524","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Rhamphempis, a New Genus of Empidini (Diptera: Empididae: Empidinae) of the New World, with Descriptions of Five New Species from French Guiana and the Eastern United States"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Christophe","family":"Daugeron","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mus\u00e9um National d\u2019Histoire Naturelle, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, M\u00e9canismes Adaptatifs et \u00c9volution, UMR 7179 MNHN-CNRS MECADEV, CP 50, 45 rue Buffon, 75005 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0170-0514","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Albertino","family":"Rafael","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amaz\u00f4nia, INPA, Coordena\u00e7\u00e3o de Biodiversidade, Manaus 69060-000, AM, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7260-5760","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dayse W.
