They are univoltine, interacting closely with the host plants of their seed-feeding larvae, mainly species of willow (Salix), but also poplar (Populus) and false tamarisk (Myricaria) support some species. Summaries are given of adult and larval habits based on published and new observations. Adult mouth part structure in relation to pollen feeding is treated in some detail. A taxonomic revision with illustrated descriptions and an identification key to males and females is given for

In Britain, a predominantly Scottish species, having strong associations with Caledonian pine forest, but also developing in wood of broad-leaved trees. Rearing records from under bark of Betula (3), Fraxinus (1), Picea (18), Pinus (21), Populus (2) and Quercus (1) were cited by G.E. Rotheray and R.M. Lyszkowski (2012. Pallopteridae (Diptera) in Scotland. Dipterists Digest (Second Series ) 19, 189- 203). Apparently a late date, as the date range given by Rotheray and Lyszkowski ( op. cit .) for both adult captures and emergence dates from puparia was 13 May to 29 September.

Dcnninrk IS Dcccinhcr 19S5, ISSS 0013-S71 1 The Anthomyiidae (root-maggot flies) of the Canaries are revised. Altogether 24 species in 9 Eilt. SCdI3d. genera are recorded. Four species are described as new. viz. Pegoriijri cnrrcrrierisis. Anthoniyin corzfiisrrrieri, Leircophorn ccirinrietisis and L. sirbsporisri. In addition, Pegornja Icireropirrictnto sp. n. is described from Madeira. Pegomjn sirnediimxi Hering (type locality: France) is syno- nyrnized with P. sirneclae Hering (syn. n.). Deliri cilitrirsis Hennig is regarded a distinct species, not a subspecies of D.plotrrrri (Meigen). A key to males and females is provided. Local distribution of the species. both ecological and geographical. is considered. and the anthomyiid fauna of the other Macaronesian archipelagos is reviewed. The origin of the Canarian anthomyiid fauna is discussed. The species al1 seem to be descen- ded from the fauna of the Mediterranean subregion and can be regarded either as (1) introdu- ced. (2)indigenous. or (3) endernic to the Canaries. Apparentlyendemic Canarian species are Pegoriiyci cnnnrierisis sp. n., P. vitrithornx (Stein).

ZooKeys 453: 71–109. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.453.8282 Abstract The present catalogue of Anthomyiidae attempts to list all species (173) described or recorded from main- land China (165) and Taiwan (8) that for various reasons are not treated in “Flies of China” from 1998. The catalogue further lists Chinese species that are presently standing in new generic combinations com- pared to those of “Flies of China”, species that have changed name because of synonymy or misidentifica- tion, and species upgraded from subspecies to species. Regional distribution by province is specified for all species. Literature sources to descriptions or records of anthomyiid species from China are only given for those 173 species not covered by “Flies of China”.
