The stiletto fly family Therevidae is diverse and species rich in Australasia, with numerous undescribed species. Ongoing studies of Ectinorhynchus Macquart, 1850 from the Taenogera genus-group indicate that the genus Evansomyia Mann, 1928 stat. rev. is valid and is raised from synonymy for three species: Evansomyia phyciformis (White, 1915) stat. rev. , Evansomyia scutellus (Mann, 1933) comb. nov. , and Evansomyia venusta (Erichson, 1842) comb. nov. . Two new species of an unusual new therevid…
