True Fruit Flies (Diptera, Tephritidae) of the Afrotropical Region

This checklist covers all relevant information of the major dacine fruit fly genera of Africa. Initially established under the ENBI project, it provides a list current taxonomic status of species involved, as well as synonymy. Limitations of scope: the pilot study is focusing on a group of Afrotropical fruit flies only. Reason is that, over the last decade years several projects have focused on this group (cf. above) and that a mass of specimen related data are available. Afrotropical is used here in the biogeographical sense, hence the region below of the Sahara dessert. However, some additional records from northern Africa and the Middle East are included but not as exhaustive as those for the true Afrotropical region.本分类学核查清单涵盖非洲主要寡毛实蝇族（Dacini）实蝇属的全部相关信息。本数据集最初由ENBI项目立项构建，收录了所涉物种的当前分类学地位及其同物异名信息。本数据集的适用范围存在一定局限性：本次预研究仅聚焦于非洲热带（Afrotropical）实蝇类群。其缘由在于，近十年来已有多项研究围绕此类群展开（参见上文），且已积累了海量相关标本数据。此处所指的非洲热带区系采用生物地理学定义，即撒哈拉沙漠以南的区域。不过，本数据集亦纳入了部分来自北非及中东地区的补充记录，但相关收录并未如针对纯正非洲热带区系区域的收录那般全面详尽。
