Knowledge on biodiversity is fundamental for conservation strategies. The Brazilian Pampa region, located in subtropical southern Brazil, neglected terms of conservation, and knowledge its fragmented. We aim to answer the question: how many, which, species occur Pampa? In a collaborative effort, we built lists plants, animals, bacteria, fungi that Pampa. included information distribution patterns, main habitat types, status. Our study resulted referenced totaling 12,503 (12,854 taxa, when...
The species of the South American genus SouzalopesmyiaAlbuquerque, 1951 (Diptera: Muscidae) are very similar externally, but can be distinguished by characters terminalia males. We describe Souzalopesmyia polleti n. sp. from French Guiana and provide diagnostic images for it. new all other following combination characters: male with two long pairs frontal setae; one weak proepisternal seta, about ¾ length upper anepisternal postpronotal setae longer than half lower one; cercal plate margins...
Stomopogon Malloch (Diptera, Muscidae) is a Neotropical genus recorded from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile and Peru. In this contribution, the revised, three new species are described, one Bolivia (Murillo, La Paz), Brazil (Palmas, Paraná) Peru (Wayqecha, Cuzco). The descriptions include color images, illustrations ultrastructural morphology of terminalia adult. We provide an identification key to updated map with species’ distributions. acuta (Malloch, 1934) proposed as junior synonym S....
Sixty years ago, Willi Hennig last catalogued the Anthomyiidae, Fanniidae and Muscidae fauna of Juan Fernández Archipelago. This archipelago, composed three main volcanic islands (Robinson Crusoe, Alejandro Selkirk Santa Clara), has many endemic species. We describe Fannia hennigi sp. n. from Robinson Crusoe Island, record 11 species in 10 genera Muscidae. A key to identification all found Archipelago a table with are presented, including four new records Island: Delia platura (Meigen,...
Roraima is a Brazilian state located in the northern portion of Amazon basin, with few studies regarding its biodiversity. The Ecological Station Maracá (Brazil, Roraima) harbors third largest pluvial island and composed transitional landscape savanna rainforest components. Despite ecological importance strategic localization, covered dipterofauna this locality. An updated checklist addressing 41 families true flies (Diptera) occurring presented based on literature specimens collected during...
Trentepohlia Bigot is a cosmopolite and diverse genus, including both current extinct species. Its fossil record includes Baltic, Burmese, Dominican, Mexican, Sumatra ambers, as well in compressions. In this study, we described two more species of from Miocene Mexican amber, illustrations an updated identification key for (Paramongoma). We also compare the new with previously discussing their morphology, paleobiology, systematics.
Hexapods, commonly known as insects, are a neglected taxonomic group in the Fernando de Noronha archipelago, with unanswered questions about their species richness and ecological processes which they involved (e.g., colonization, introduction, establishment, extinction). Herein, we provide an updated Hexapod checklist current nomenclatural combinations. The entomofauna of archipelago is currently composed 453 21 orders. orders, respective number species, are: Blattaria (9), Coleoptera (118),...
An efficient in vitro propagation method was established for Brasilidium forbesii (Hook.) Campacci using transverse and longitudinal thin cell layer (tTCL lTCL, respectively) culture systems. Six-month-old protocorms from germinated seeds were used this study. TCLs (1.0-mm thick) grown on Woody Plant Medium (WPM) supplemented with benzyladenine (BA) (0.5–4.0 µM).The lTCL technique more inducing protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) regenerating shoots than the tTCL technique. The frequency of PLB...
Asilidae represents one of the most diverse Diptera families, adults are rapacious predators arthropods. Despite huge diversity extant species, robber flies considered uncommon to extremely rare in amber or any type fossil. Here we present first Laphriinae fossil description from Miocene based on a well-preserved adult male trapped Simojovel, Chiapas, Mexico. The corresponds new genus and species named Mioatomosites mexicanus gen. et sp. nov. This fly was likely tree visitor, inhabiting...
Anthomyiidae is a family of flies distributed worldwide comprising approximately 2,000 species, which, based on molecular analyses, belong to the Muscoidea grade. The phylogenetic data for this are limited and Neotropical lineages have never been studied at level. Herein, we present first analyses including taxa. resulting trees – inferred using maximum-likelihood Bayesian criteria two nuclear three mitochondrial genes 56 terminals, 13 anthomyiid species confirmed as monophyletic lineage...
The first neriid fossil is described from a well-preserved adult female trapped in amber the Miocene of Simojovel, Chiapas, south-eastern Mexico. corresponds to new genus and species named Palaeonerius souzai Sepúlveda & Gomes gen. et sp. nov. taxon compared with other, extant Neotropical genera.http://www.urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E61B19F5-5B5C-49B7-BA98-20453981474A
The Asian neriid fl y genus Telostylus Bigot (Diptera: Neriidae) is revised, including a key and illustrations of its species.Lectotype designations are proposed for four species: babiensis de Meijere, T. decemnotatus Hendel, T

Delia sanctijacobi is critically assessed and given a revised description using data from scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) DNA barcode analysis. This species recorded for the first time in Brazil Peru. We provide morphological identification key (with figures) Brazil, molecular based on COI (cytochrome C oxidase subunit I) sequences an updated distributional map. also report occurrence of D. feeding Brassica Brazil. potential pest was observed broccoli roots (Brassica oleracea var....
The Anthomyiidae (Insecta, Diptera) include 1,941 species in 53 genera that are found a wide range of habitats (forests, cities, agricultural fields). Herein, the anthomyiid fauna Atlantic Forest Palmas (south state Paraná) was surveyed using Malaise traps at altitudes higher than 1,000 meters. collection these flies conducted Grasslands Wildlife Refuge (PGWR) is full protection conservation unit (CU) surrounded by degraded areas and with high levels endemism.

Abstract Coenosopsia Malloch has eight known species distributed from southern North America to south-eastern South America. The of the genus are morphologically very homogeneous, and major differences remain in male terminalia. Remarkably, two main diagnostic characteristics Anthomyiidae absent this genus: setulae on ventral surface scutellum vein A 1 reaching wing margin. Some studies have attempted propose biogeographical narratives, primarily for Neotropical distribution genus. Herein,...
