Comprising nearly 500 species worldwide, Cheilosia Meigen is the largest genus of Syrphidae in Palaearctic region. Within Cheilosia, phenotypic diversity has been assessed different groups, including group longula (Zetterstedt, 1838). However, variability soror 1843), a highly variable member C. group, never western Europe. In present work, morphological and molecular analyses were conducted to assess found 300+ specimens from Iberian Peninsula. A total 16 characters identified defined for...
The largest genus of Palaearctic Syrphidae, Cheilosia Meigen, 1822 (Syrphidae: Rhingiini), is currently under revision in the Ibero-Balearic region (Iberian Peninsula + Balearic Islands). Prior to this study, various species groups with putative phylogenetic support were defined for complex taxonomy. group melanura Becker, 1894 includes distributed all over Europe, some these being similar each other both morphology and genetics. After recent fieldwork different Iberian localities...
Records of two species hoverflies (Diptera, Syrphidae), Hammerschmidtia ferruginea (Fallén, 1817) and Megasyrphus erraticus (Linnaeus, 1758), are here provided for the first time in Iberian Peninsula, both records located at southern edges these genera ranges Europe. The new data is reported following fieldwork Pyrenees Huesca Lleida provinces (Spain) consultation 'Museu de Ciències Naturals Barcelona' entomological collection. importance findings discussed frame conservation species’ habitats.
In agricultural systems, linear habitat features and resource shifting over the season can shape insect communities. When evaluating assemblages, use of trait-based approaches allows measuring functional component diversity which, combined with a taxonomical perspective, may help to understand how environmental factors drive community structuring. Mediterranean vineyard agroecosystems, we assessed Heteroptera communities evaluate type (hedgerow vs. grass strip) seasonality assemblages from...
With 400+ species described, Cheilosia Meigen, 1822 is one of the largest genera Syrphidae worldwide, and in Palaearctic Region. These hoverflies, due to their high diversity abundance ecosystems, are supposed important pollinators. There 56 reported from Spain, but they have not been revised yet framework recent taxonomic advances this genus. several groups recognised literature, which that longula (Zetterstedt, 1838). This group consists six sharing bare eyes, connected antennal sockets,...
