Abstract

Trischidocera Villeneuve, 1915 includes two species, T. sauteri Villeneuve, 1915 (Taiwan and Malaysia) and T. yunnanensis Chao \& Zhou, 1987 (China). The systematic placement of Trischidocera has been controversial. It was originally placed within the ``Thryptoceratidae{''} (= ``Actiidae{''}), then moved to Germariini, then considered an unplaced Tachinidae, and more recently placed in Ormiini. Here, the genus is revised, the type-species is redescribed and illustrated, and its systematic placement is discussed. The genus is removed from Ormiini and considered incertae sedis. (AU)
