    Tachinid Flies (Diptera, Tachinidae) of Warsaw and Mazovia

    POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES • INSTITUTE OF ZOOLOGY MEMORABILIA ZOOLOGICA MEMORABILIA ZOOL. 35 141— 162 14SI AGNIESZKA DRABER-MOŃKO TACHINID FLIES (.DIPTERA, TACHINIDAE) OF WARSAW AND MAZO VIA ABSTRACT The Tachinidae of the Mazovian Lowland (285 species) account for 65% of the total number of species occurring in Poland. In Warsaw 164 species occur, including 123 in the suburbs, and 107 in urban green areas, the latter being subdivided into parks (90 species), green areas of housing estates (30 species) and the centre of the town (47 species). Such groups are represented by the highest number of species as parasitoids of lepidopterans and beetles, with high ecological amplitudes, and also polyphages with large geographical ranges (Palaearctic and Euro-Siberian). INTRODUCTION Flies of,the family Tachinidae are poorly known both in Poland and in the whole Palaearctic. Tachinid flies of Mazovia and Warsaw have not been extensively studied so far. From Warsaw 42 species were known [2, 8, 11]. At present 164 species have been recorded in Warsaw. From the Mazovian Lowland, 85 species have been recorded so far, including 23 species listed by Sznabl [11], nine species listed by Wiąckow- ski [13. 15]. three species quoted by Miczulski and Koślińska [7], and single species quoted by Kuntze [5], Pawłowicz [10], Koehler [4]. Szujecki [12], and the other species by Draber-Mońko [2,8]. At present 285 ta,chinid flies are known from the Mazovian Lowland. The objective of the work was to establish the species composition of tachinid flies living in the Mazovian Lowland and Warsaw, and to analyse their geographical distribution and ecology.

Abstract: A total of 341 species of the Tachinidae (Diptera) are recorded from Saitama Prefecture, central Japan (Honshu). Seventeen species are newly recorded from Japan (Billaea brevicauda Zhang & Shima, B. kolomietzi (Mesnil), Istocheta rufipes (Villeneuve), Carcelia townsendi Crosskey, C. delicatula Mesnil, Catagonia aberrans (Mesnil), Senometopia longie- pandriuma (Chao & Liang), S. mimoexcisa (Chao & Liang), Blepharipa tibialis (Chao), Onychogonia flaviceps (Zetterstedt), Pales peregrina Herting, Cylindromyia arator Reinhard, Hemyda hertingi Ziegler & Shima, Perigymnosoma globulum Villeneuve, Panzeria vagans (Meigen), Glaurocara lucidula Richter, and Peleteria sphyricera (Macquaert)) and five genera each with an undetermined species are newly known from Japan (Admontia, Ligeria, Medinodexia, Hapalioloemus, and Phytomyptera). Exorista (Adenia) tubigera Mesnil and Exorista (Spixomyia) lepis Chao, which were mistakenly omitted in the Catalog of the Insects of Japan (Shima, 2014), are noted.

  • Historical Records of Tachinidae (Diptera) from Lithuania

    NAUJOS IR RETOS LIETUVOS VABZDŽI Ų R ŪŠYS. 22 tomas 133 HISTORICAL RECORDS OF TACHINIDAE (DIPTERA) FROM LITHUANIA ERIKAS LUTOVINOVAS Department of Botany and Zoology, Masaryk University, Kotlá řská 2, CZ-611 37 Brno, the Czech Republic. E-mail: [email protected] Introduction The population size of insect parasitoids may vary in a great amplitude; therefore, historical collections may provide species of these insects fairly possibly be collected from some areas during decades. The global warming enables species spreading to the north, though very frequently we are unable to say whether the newly found species have been living in the area before because of a short tradition in Lithuanian Dipterology where Tachinidae are poorly represented in the collections. Valuable specimens were found in the collections of historical entomologists, that are preserved at Vilnius University and at T. Ivanauskas Zoological Museum in Kaunas. Some part of those findings have been published before (Lutovinovas, 2006), the rest are provided in the present study. Material and methods The studied material was collected in 1926–1929. Specimens collected in the territory of the then Lithuania are deposited in the collection of T. Ivanauskas Zoological Museum (Kaunas); consequently, those collected in the Vilnius Region (which was occupied by Poland at that time), are deposited at the Museum of Zoology of Vilnius University (Vilnius). Marja Ostrejkówna (M.O.), who has collected the material in the Vilnius Region, swept insects from the vegetation (exact information is provided in the notebook preserved at Vilnius University), while no information is available about the methods implemented by Alfonsas Palionis (A.P.), who collected insects from the territory of the then Lithuania.

Yufu, Western Japan Kyoko YAMAZAKI and Makoto KATO Graduate School of Human and Environmenta1 Studies, Kyoto University, Yoshida-Nihonmatsu-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto, 606-8501 Japan ABSTRACT The hillsides of Mt, Yufu, located in Kyusyu, Japan, is a dormant yolcano, are coyered with natural and semi-natural grasslands; the latter of which are maintained by traditional mowing and burning. Both the natura1 and semi-natura1 grasslands are inhabited by many grassland-specific plant species, some of which are now endangered in Japan. To understand pollination mutualisms in the grassland ecosystem, we investigated the flowering phenology and anthophilous insect communities on 149 plant species from 49 different plant families, from April to October 2001. In tota1, 1192 individuals from 308 species, 83 families and 10 orders of Insecta were observed on flowers of 101 plant species. The most abundant insect order was Hymenoptera (37.89o of individuals), followed by Diptera (32.59o), Coleoptera (22.79o) and Lepidoptera (6.29o), The proportions of Coleoptera and Lepidoptera were respectively smaller and greater than in forested habitats, suggesting that many anthophilous beetles depend on woody plants during their larval stages and that anthophilous butterflies (especially Nymphalidae) are associated with grassland-specific perennials (especially Viola spp.) in their larval stages.
