The taxonomy of the subgenus Ashima genus Phortica is revised. A cladistic analysis 66 morphological characters conducted, covering 35 species (28 known and 7 new species: efragmentata sp. nov., P. andreagigoni watabei halimunensis akutsui kerinciensis takehiroi nov.) which correspond to 71.4% 49 total spp. Ashima. resulting cladogram shows that studied are separated into several clades/subclades/cluster each highly supported with specific synapomorphies. Those newly defined as following...

The phylogeny of the Colocasiomyia cristata species group is reconstructed as a hypothesis, based on DNA sequences two mitochondrial and six nuclear genes 51 morphological characters. resulting tree splits this into clades, one which corresponds to colocasiae subgroup. Therefore, new subgroup named established for other clade. Within subgroup, three subclades are recognized each them defined complex: complex composed five (including ones: C. kinabaluana sp. nov., kotana nov. matthewsi nov.),...

Abstract Despite the intensive use of Leptopilina genus and its drosophilid hosts as model systems in study host–parasitoid interactions, diversity distribution species occurring Asian region remain elusive. Here we report phylogeny Japanese attacking frugivorous flies, based on COI, ITS1 ITS2 sequences. Consistent with molecular data, hybridization experiments morphological examination, five were recorded Japan: heterotoma , L. victoriae three new species, two Ryukyu archipelago,...

The diversity, abundance and association of frugivorous drosophilids their parasitoids were studied in Bogor, Indonesia (tropical region), compared with the results Iriomote-jima (subtropical region) Tokyo (temperate region). Among adult drosophilid flies collected traps baited banana wooded areas, number commonly observed species (i.e. that occupied more than 0.5% total samples) was 10 Bogor nine Iriomote-jima, (six species), probably reflecting high diversity fruits. rate parasitism very...

Abstract The phylogeny of Colocasiomyia ( D rosophilidae) is analysed using data for 70 morphological characters, many which are re‐evaluated from or added to those used previously, an expanded taxon sample 24 ingroup species. A special focus put on three species, two have remained unresolved their relationships other and the a newly discovered analysis results in single, most parsimonious cladogram, clade comprising focal species recognized along with clades recovered known groups . Based...

Abstract Diapause and cold tolerance are essential for temperate insects to pass the winter, with mechanisms controlling these two traits varying considerably among insects. In present study, diapause compared three Leptopilina species: japonica Novković & Kimura, victoriae Nordlander ryukyuensis all larval parasitoids of frugivorous drosophilid flies, aim understanding their climatic adaptations. The first species is divided into ( ) subtropical subspecies formosana ), latter...

Abundances and parasitism rates of frugivorous drosophilid flies were studied in three localities at altitudes 250–1350 m near Bogor, Indonesia. The parasitoid species classified into four groups: low-altitude species, high-altitude abundant a mid-altitude location occurring rather evenly from low to high locations. ananassae immigrans groups major drosophilids collected. All the group more lower altitudes, rate this decreased with increasing altitude. Thus, host abundance seems affect rate....

Two new species of Glyphodes Guene, 1854 from Indonesia are proposed as to science, namely G. nurfitriae sp. nov. and ahsanae The total number recorded for is 48 at present. Images adults genitalia provided both species.

For successful parasitism, parasitoid females must oviposit and the progeny develop in individual hosts. Here, we investigated determinants of host acceptance for oviposition suitability larval development Drosophila parasitoids from Bogor Kota Kinabalu (≍1,800 km northeast Bogor), Indonesia, tropical Asia. Asobara pleuralis (Ashmead) both localities oviposited frequently (>60%) all drosophilid species tested, except strain rarely (10%) eugracilis Bock & Wheeler. Leptopilina victoriae...

The genus Dichaetophora Duda comprises 61 described species classified into four groups: agbo, tenuicauda, acutissima and sinensis. This is distributed exclusively in the Old World, rich tropical subtropical areas of Oriental, Australasian, Afrotropical regions. In this paper, a new group, trilobita established for six discovered from Oriental region. delimitation these firstly performed light morphology further with aid DNA sequences mitochondrial COI COII (cytochrome c oxydase, subunits I...

Mosquitoes need suitable habitats for the development larvae. Larvaehabitats were identified characterized at three locations: Mauk-Molotong River &Mainakum in Wartabone National Mount Pakinya near PusianVillage out side from national park. Larvae collected bamboo stump, treeholes or puddle on stones, while adults using insect net...

The subgenus Dudaica Strand of the genus Drosophila Fallén has been known to comprise only two species: (Dudaica) senilis Duda, 1926 (recorded from Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Bhutan, and India) D.malayana (Takada, 1976) Malaysia). In present study, this is revised, with redescribed six new species discovered described China, Malaysia, Indonesia: gracilipalpis Katoh & Gao, sp. n. , puberula albipalpis Katoh, Toda qiongzhouensis orthophallata dissimilis Both morphological...

A novel endemic pest of clove tree, Cryptophasa warouwi sp. nov., has been discovered on Sangihe Island. This new species can be distinguished from its closest relative species, C. watungi Sutrisno & Suwito, 2015 which is found in North Sulawesi, by dark brown straw-coloured wings both males and females. The most distinctive diagnostic characters this are observed genitalia structure: a bent-downward uncus with strongly sclerotized finger-shaped apex, bent phallus gradually widened...

Our intensive surveys of wild drosophilids in the East and Southeast Asia discovered a great species diversity (more than 100 putatively new species) genus Dichaetophora, which is currently comprised 67 formally described assigned into five groups, i.e., agbo, tenuicauda, acutissima, sinensis trilobita. In present study, we delimited from huge amount samples Dichaetophora allied taxa (the Mulgravea subgenus Dudaica Drosophila) collected wide range Oriental east Palearctic regions. We first...

Three new species of Cryptophasa Lewin, 1805 are described from eastern Indonesia: C. watungi Sutrisno & Suwito, 2015 sp. nov., kwerbaensis and choliki nov. Each is based on adult external genital characters. The potential apomorphic character in male genitalia Cryptophasa, the shape uncus, discussed.

Inventory studies on the genus Agrioglypta Meyrick, 1932 have been conducted in Java, Sulawesi, and Papua during 2007-2011. This study also aims to explore diversity of Indonesia, possible apomorphic characteristics, especially genitalic characters, that support monophyly genus. Three new species were discovered, A. hastantiae sp. nov., ubaidillahi halimunensis for a total nine recorded Indonesia. Images adults genitalia are provided all species.
