Five species of the genus Tetroxyrhina Hendel from China are described as new to science: Tetr. dashahensis sp. nov., dentata jinpingensis menglunensis nov. and tengchongensis sauteri (Hendel), also China, is redescribed. The genitalia these illustrated described. Trigonometopus alboapicalis Shatalkin, synonymized under sauteri, syn. A key separate all provided, along with nomenclatural details for species, photographs primary type specimens.
Study of all flies (Diptera) collected for one year from a four-hectare (150 x 266 meter) patch cloud forest at 1,600 meters above sea level Zurquí de Moravia, San José Province, Costa Rica (hereafter referred to as Zurquí), revealed an astounding 4,332 species. This amounts more than half the number named species Central America. Specimens were with two Malaise traps running continuously and wide array supplementary collecting methods three days each month. All morphospecies 73 families...
A new genus of odiniids (Odiniidae: Traginopinae) is described from Brazil, Pauximyia gen. nov., with two species, P. oliveirai sp. nov. (type species) and vidali modified key to the Neotropical genera family for species provided.
Umbodinia bella gen. nov. et sp. is described and illustrated from specimens collected in the canopy of an ombrophilous Amazonian forest, Manaus, Brazil. The genus characterized by a unique combination diagnostic features: body predominantly yellow; frons with two shiny dark brown to black lobules lower corners, between lunule eye margins; high-arched subtriangular spots covered pubescence; parafacial tufts long strong setae, almost as stout fronto-orbital setae; anepisternum setulae...
A new genus of Chamaemyiidae (Diptera: Lauxanioidea) is described, namely Leucotaraxis gen. nov. (type species Leucopis atrifacies Aldrich; other included argenticollis (Zetterstedt), comb. nov., piniperda (Malloch), and sepiola sp. nov.). These are predators Adelgidae (Hemiptera) infesting Pinaceae. Holarctic, while the three Nearctic. The phylogeny with representatives was elucidated using mitochondrial nuclear DNA sequences found to be monophyletic. Egg puparial stages discussed or...
Fauna Europaea provides a public web-service with an index of scientific names (including important synonyms) all extant multicellular European terrestrial and freshwater animals their geographical distribution at the level countries major islands (east Urals excluding Caucasus region). The project comprises about 230,000 taxonomic names, including 130,000 accepted species 14,000 subspecies, which is much more than originally projected number 100,000 species. represents huge effort by 400...
Abstract Estimations of tropical insect diversity generally suffer from lack known groups or faunas against which extrapolations can be made, and have seriously underestimated the some taxa. Here we report intensive inventory a four-hectare cloud forest in Costa Rica for one year, yielded 4332 species Diptera, providing first verifiable basis major group insects at single site tropics. In total 73 families were present, all studied to level, potentially complete coverage order likely present...
Two new genera of Chamaemyiidae (Diptera: Lauxanioidea) are described and illustrated, including: Chamaethrix gen. nov. (type species necopina sp. nov.), possibly a predator Cinara ponderosae (Williams) on Pinus ponderosa in the southwestern United States; Vitaleucopis nidolkah nov.; other included astonea (McAlpine), comb. nov., scopulus predators aphids adelgids Pinaceae western North America. Immature stages discussed or illustrated for some taxa, including eggs nidolkah; third instars...
Two new species of Neotraginops Prado (Neotraginops fachini sp. nov. and arikemi nov.) are added to the known Neotropical diversity Traginopinae (Odiniidae), range is expanded for mexicanus Herndez-Ortiz Dzul-Cauich. A key genus provided. Along with descriptions, photographs detailed illustrations male terminalia included species.
Parasitoids and predatory flies that can attack soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae), in soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., fields were identified 3 to 4 yr after the aphid was first sighted north central United States. We detected 15 species by exposing ovipositing parasitoids at two locations southern Michigan. The (in order of number specimens recovered from high low) Aphidoletes aphidimyza Rondani (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), Lysiphlebus testaceipes Cresson...
Population genetic diversity of the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), on Hawaiian islands Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and Hawaii (the Big Island) was estimated using DNA sequences mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene. In total, 932 flies representing 36 sampled sites across four were sequenced for a 1,500-bp fragment gene named C1500 marker. Genetic variation low Islands with >96% having just two haplotypes: C1500-Haplotype 1 (63.2%) or 2 (33.3%). The other 33 (3.5%) had...
We summarise the findings of arthropods collected by fogging canopy 24 pine trees in two sites Eastern and Western Norway. From samples, taken 1998 1999, almost 30,000 specimens were determined to 512 species,with Diptera being most species rich (210 species), followed Coleoptera (76 species) Araneae (49 species). Of 96 new records, nine science (5 4 Oribatida), European, three Scandinavian 82 Norwegian faunas. The paper demonstrates need for detailed faunistical inventories European forests.
The status of the enigmatic family Eurychoromyiidae is revised to a subfamily Lauxaniidae, and entire with key genera species, maps for all species. Previously monotypic only species Eurychoromyia mallea Hendel, one closely related genus, Tauridion Papp & Silva, moved into this subfamily, five new are described: Choryeuromyia, Euryhendelimyia, Eurystratiomyia, Physegeniopsis, Roryeuchomyia. Besides type Tauridion, herein new, including Choryeuromyia xenisma (type genus), Euryhendelimyia...
Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) is a highly destructive invasive leafminer pest currently causing extensive damage to vegetable and horticultural crops around the world. langei Frick native California that cannot be morphologically distinguished from L. huidobrensis. We used DNA-barcoding approach, published PCR-RFLP method, new multiplex PCR method analyze 664 flies matching morphological description of huidobrensis-langei. found no evidence for presence in our samples California. In...
Abstract The therevoid clade represents a group of four families ( A psilocephalidae, E vocoidae, S cenopinidae and T herevidae) lower brachyceran D iptera in the superfamily siloidea. largest these is that stiletto flies herevidae). large‐scale (i.e. supermatrix) phylogeny herevidae presented based on DNA sequence data from seven genetic loci 16S , 18S 28S ribosomal protein‐encoding genes: elongation factor 1‐alpha, triose phosphate isomerase, short‐wavelength rhodopsin CPSase region...
A fully annotated catalog of genus- and species-group names Neotropical Lauxaniidae (Diptera: Lauxanioidea) is presented, providing details references to these in literature, additional such as distributions, generic combinations, synonymies, misspellings emendations, information on types, notes unusual situations, etc. As this meant supplement the older Catalog Diptera America North Mexico, complete cataloging New World Lauxaniidae, “Neotropical” herein inclusive everything south United...
