Following a request from Geoff Hancock (Hunterian Museum, Glasgow), specimens were examined, leading to the identification of 32 new species blonging to six new genera, including: Diaclinella excameroon sp. nov.; Dilatoantennatus setaduncus gen. nov., sp. nov.; Dohrniphora etiamexsilva sp. nov.; Dohrniphora exsilva sp. nov.; Immoaristae flavicrusorum gen. nov., sp. nov.; Megaselia artusfemur sp. nov.; Megaselia breviscosta sp. nov.; Megaselia cumcocoa sp. nov.; Megaselia dilatorima sp. nov.; Megaselia exarbustum sp. nov.; Megaselia exngoumou sp. nov.; Megaselia exreservo sp. nov.; Megaselia fuscustergites sp. nov.; Megaselia hancocki sp. nov.; Megaselia jarretti sp. nov.; Megaselia luteidorsum sp. nov.; Megaselia novuspalpi sp. nov.; Megaselia octopanni sp. nov.; Megaselia pallidaalae sp. nov.; Megaselia octopanni sp. nov.; Megaselia propowell sp. nov.; Megaselia setimesopleuron sp. nov.; Megaselia siphunculus sp. nov.; Megaselia spernohypandia sp. nov.; Megaselia venteralbus sp. nov.; Megaselia ventersetae sp. nov.; Mirusgenitalis luteithorax gen. nov., sp. nov.; Multisetae longicauda gen. nov., sp. nov.; Multispinae luteicruris sp. nov.; Multivalli longicauda gen. nov., sp. nov.; Multivalli secundus sp. nov.; Sinearista flavicrus gen. nov., sp. nov..
