The taxonomy and diversity of Fainia Zumpt, 1958, an exclusive Afrotropical genus, had not been reviewed recently. The genus included six nominal species, but the status of several of them was debated. Identification of most Fainia species depends on characters of the male terminalia; females are poorly known and, in several cases, are not adequately diagnosed. We conducted a taxonomic revision of the genus and generated identification tools. Based on the study of type material and specimens available in entomological collections in Africa and Europe, we recognise here three of the six species as valid (F. albitarsis (Macquart, 1846), F. elongata (Bezzi, 1908) and F. inexpectata Zumpt, 1973). We also provide an identification key to both sexes, redescriptions of the species, updated distribution records and high resolution photographs of males’ and females’ habitus and male terminalia. The description of Fainia kagerana Lehrer, 2007a nom. nud. is an invalid nomenclatural act in terms of ICZN Article 13.1.1. Based on examinations of their holotypes, F. sambura Lehrer, 2008 syn. nov. is proposed as a junior synonym of F. albitarsis; F. kirinyaga Lehrer, 2007b syn. nov. is proposed as a junior synonym of F. inexpectata; and Fainia giriama Lehrer, 2007b is moved from the genus Fainia to the genus Rhinia Robineau-Desvoidy, as Rhinia giriama (Lehrer, 2007b) comb. nov.. We propose two apomorphies that support the status of the subfamily Rhiniinae.

非洲热带地区 Fainia Zumpt 属的修订，1958 年，附有犀科亚科（双翅目、雌蛾总科）形态的注释

Fainia Zumpt, 1958（一种独特的非洲热带属）的分类和多样性最近尚未经过审查。该属包括六个名义物种，但其中几个物种的地位存在争议。大多数 Fainia 物种的鉴定取决于雄性榄仁的特征；人们对女性知之甚少，并且在一些情况下没有得到充分诊断。我们对该属进行了分类学修订并生成了识别工具。根据对非洲和欧洲昆虫学收藏中现有模式材料和标本的研究，我们认为六个物种中的三个是有效的（F. albitarsis (Macquart, 1846)、F. elongata (Bezzi, 1908) 和 F. inexpectata祖普特，1973）。我们还提供了两性的识别钥匙、物种的重新描述、更新的分布记录以及雄性和雌性习性和雄性终端的高分辨率照片。Fainia kagerana Lehrer，2007a nom 的描述。裸体。根据 ICZN 第 13.1.1 条，这是无效的命名行为。根据对其正型标本的检查，F. sambura Lehrer，2008 syn。十一月 被提议作为 F. albitarsis 的初级同义词；F. Kirinyaga Lehrer，2007b 同步。十一月 被提议作为 F. inexpectata 的初级同义词；Fainia giriama Lehrer, 2007b 从 Fainia 属移至 Rhinia Robineau-Desvoidy 属，如 Rhinia giriama (Lehrer, 2007b) 梳。11 月.. 我们提出了两个支持犀牛亚科地位的无变性。
