Abstract: The Oriental, Australasian and Oceanian species of the genus Amygdalops Lamb, 1814 (Diptera, Anthomyzidae) are revised. The genus is re-diagnosed on the basis of the morphological diversity revealed. Fifteen species are recognized, keyed and illustrated. Descriptions of 8 species new to science are given, viz., A. abnormis sp. n. (Sri Lanka, India), A. bisinus sp. n. (Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia: Flores I.), A. curtisi sp. n. (Thailand, Taiwan), A. curtistylus sp. n. (Thailand), A. cuspidatus sp. n. (Indonesia: Flores I., Taiwan), A. pappi sp. n. (Thailand), A. silaceus sp. n. (Mariana Is.), A. stenopteryx sp. n. (Thailand). Three species, A. geniculatus de Meijere, 1916 (only known from Indonesia: Java), A. lineola de Meijere, 1916 (new records from Thailand, Indonesia: Java, Flores I. and Papua New Guinea) and A. nigrinotum Sueyoshi et Roháček, 2003 (widespread, many new records) are redescribed including revision of available type specimens and remaining 4 species are diagnosed but left unnamed owing to insufficient material. Lectotype of A. geniculatus is designated. The relationships of all species are discussed on the basis of newly discovered features of the male and female postabdominal structures and their known distribution is reviewed. Notes on the phylogeny and biogeography of Amygdalops species are provided along with 164 original figures.
