The tabanid tribe Diachlorini (Diptera) is the most genus-rich in Tabanidae; cosmopolitan, but greatest species richness and morphological diversity are found Australasian Neotropical Regions. A new arrangement for of Acellomyia González given; lauta (Hine) transferred to a genus, Montismyia gen.n., based on its differences from geographical distribution. between gen. n. discussed. Two species, casablanca sp.n. puyehue sp.n., described specimens collected southern Chile. Comparison...
Malaria is a vector-borne disease that great burden on the poorest and most marginalized communities of tropical subtropical world. Approximately 41 species Anopheline mosquitoes can effectively spread Plasmodium parasites cause human malaria. Proposing natural classification for subfamily Anophelinae has been continuous effort, addressed using both morphology DNA sequence data. The monophyly genus Anopheles , phylogenetic placement Bironella subgenera Kerteszia Lophopodomyia Stethomyia...

The Neotropical species of Caenopangonia Kröber are revised herein based on examination external and internal morphology type material specimens from Argentina Chile. Three currently valid recognized: aspera (Philip, 1958), brevirostris (Philippi, 1865), hirtipalpis (Bigot, 1892). Two new described, cerdai n. sp. Krolow, Henriques & González (Chile, Chacabuco) coscaroni Malleco). We provide diagnosis and/or descriptions, distribution records, illustrations discussion for all species, as...
Species richness and taxonomic composition of pollinator assemblages are documented for 26 plant species from temperate rain forests northern Chiloé Island, southern Chile (42°30′S). We investigated the patterns generalism specialization among plants animal pollinators by comparing flower visit frequency different pollen vectors during spring summer months three consecutive years (2000–2002). studied exhibited a range floral morphologies (radial vs. zygomorphic, open tubular) rewards (nectar...
A catalog of the Anisopodidae from Chile is provided. All valid names and synonyms are presented, summing up five species in two genera for country. references known to us taxonomic biological literature provided, including information about name, author, year publication, page number, type species, locality, distribution, references. We keep Tonnoirina Amorim Tozoni as a synonym Sylvicola Neomesochria Mycetobia.
In this paper, we investigate the use of neural networks (NN) to detect weed plants in rice fields based on aerial images. For purpose, images are taken at 50 meters high with 16.1 megapixels CMOS digital camera mount-ted an autonomous electrical fixed wind plane. Then, ortho-mosaic map field is created by stitching 250 pictures, as image ortho-corrected, pixel information final more reliable for analysis. NN training, Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GCLM) Haralicks descriptor used texture...
A catalog of the Bibionidae Chile is provided. We present all valid names and synonyms for 33 species 2 genera known from country, including information about name, author, year publication, page number, type species, locality references. The geographical distribution was compiled bibliographic data revised collections. Epiplecia Giard, Heteroplecia Hardy, Pleciodes Hardy are proposed as junior Plecia Wiedeman.
The genera and species of Chilean rhagionids (Diptera: Rhagionidae) are listed, with annotated references to nomenclature, synonymies generic combinations, type localities, the primary depositories, distribution, citations for most recent revisions. genus Atherimorpha White is richest in Chile, 15 described species. Only Leptis basalis Philippi, 1865 kept as incertae sedis family.

Seawater desalination by reverse osmosis is growing exponentially due to water scarcity. Byproducts of this process (e.g. brines), are generally discharged directly into the coastal ecosystem, causing detrimental effects, on benthic organisms. Understanding cellular stress response these organisms (biomarkers), could be crucial for establishing appropriate salinity thresholds brines. Early biomarkers can serve as valuable tools monitoring health status brine-impacted organisms, enabling...
Buestanmyia gen. nov., is described from Pichincha Province, Ecuador with one included species, B. chiriboga sp. nov. It characterized by very short and scarce ommatrichia, frons wide slightly divergent below, basal callus subquadrate median dorsal projection reaching half the height of frons, ocellar triangle ocelli absent, scape 3.5x length pedicel, pedicel strong erect hairs, proboscis less than head, basicosta bare, wings smoky, clouds on cells costal subcostal, vein R4 a appendix; cell...
Mosquitoes from the Culex pipiens complex are found worldwide and have been focus of numerous studies due to their role as vectors human pathogens. We investigated population genetic structure Cx. s.l. by analyzing SNPs COI gene, focusing on grouping signals ecotypes molestus. Our analysis revealed no association between SNPs, suggesting that classification is based ecological traits rather than factors. Using data 2,641 164 genotypes, our Bayesian clustering categorized populations into six...
BACKGROUND The works of Lutz & Neiva, published 115 years ago in the Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, are pioneering for study Neotropical Tabanidae. These studies emphasised importance biological collections and description species from exploration South American areas. Dasybasis Macquart, 1847 has traditionally been considered a large genus tabanids restricted to Australasian, Neotropical, Andean regions. exhibit high degree morphological similarity, making specific differentiation...
Background: Malaria is a severe health problem in native communities of Condorcanqui the Amazonas region Peru. Recently, number malaria cases has increased considerably following Plasmodium falciparum outbreak 2019. However, there no information on anophelines acting as vectors this area. This study aimed to identify Anopheles species circulating previously unexplored Condorcanqui. Additionally, we sought detect presence DNA from P. vivax and parasites mosquitoes. Methods: During three...
Vector transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi appears to be interrupted in Chile; however, data show increasing incidence Chagas' disease, raising concerns that there may a reemerging problem.To estimate the actual risk changing world it is necessary consider historical vector distribution and correlate this with presence cases climate change.Potential models Triatoma infestans Chagas disease were performed using Maxent, machine-learning method.Climate change play major role reemergence T.
