Probably there is no region free from Mosquitos, under which appellation are comprised various species of the genus Culex — the genuine Gnats of this country : even in the Arctic re- gions, Capt. James Ross and his companions were compelled ; to wear gauze over their faces during the summer months, to protect them in their fishing excursions from the venomous attacks of these tormenting Insects; in the collection, also, made by Capt. P. P. King in his survey of the Straits of Magellan I find specimens of a Mosquito, and others I have received from New Holland. I have long entertained an opinion that, like the Tabanidas, it is the females only that bite, and this opinion is almost confirmed by a careful dissection of the tro- phi, since I could not discover either a tongue or mandibles in the males ; it may therefore become a question, what does this sex live upon? I rather suspect on flowers, and it is re- markable that in out-houses and places where these insects abound, the sexes are not often found together ; I remember in the month of June to have seen the males of C. annulatus repeatedly, widiout observing one female, and last May I met with the males of C. nemorosus flying in a large swarm in the afternoon in Coomb-wood, in a dark shady hollow, and not one female was amongst them ; but on sitting down a few came out of the grass and lit upon my hand. I do not remember ever to have been bitten by C. pipiens in Sept. ; although I have seen great numbers of the females in my sleeping-room at that period of the year, but in July I have suffered very much from the bites of this and other species, and on the shores of the Mediterranean their piping note was the most terrific noise that could have assailed my ears at night, for to sleep it was impossible, until they were either satiated or destroyed. It may be useful to observe, that the Pnpse are frequently conveyed into the sleeping-room in the ewer, especially when it is filled from butts of rain-water ; in such cases the Gnats escape from the Pupae in the evening, and as soon as they can take wing, they are prepared with a keen appetite, having fasted during their imprisonment in the pupa, to attack the inmates of the apartment. There are near 20 species found in this country, a list of which is given in the Guide : I have only seen 2 specimens of the species figured ; both of them were taken at Cobham in Surrey.

ZooKeys 365: 263–278. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.365.6070 Abstract Empidoidea is one of the largest extant lineages of flies, but phylogenetic relationships among species of this group are poorly investigated and global diversity remains scarcely assessed. In this context, one of the most enigmatic empidoid families is Hybotidae. Within the framework of a pilot study, we barcoded 339 specimens of Old World hybotids belonging to 164 species and 22 genera (plus two Empis as outgroups) and attempted to evaluate whether patterns of intra- and interspecific divergences match the current tax- onomy.

  • Karl Jordan: a Life in Systematics
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Kristin Renee Johnson for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of SciencePresented on July 21, 2003. Title: Karl Jordan: A Life in Systematics Abstract approved: Paul Lawrence Farber Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the modem evolutionary synthesis. These accounts, while useful, have primarily examined the natural history of the period in view of how it led to developments in the 193 Os and 40s, removing pre-Synthesis naturalists like Jordan from their research programs, institutional contexts, and disciplinary homes, for the sake of synthesis narratives. This dissertation redresses this picture by examining a naturalist, who, although often cited as important in the synthesis, is more accurately viewed as a man working on the problems of an earlier period. This study examines the specific problems that concerned Jordan, as well as the dynamic institutional, international, theoretical and methodological context of entomology and natural history during his lifetime. It focuses upon how the context in which natural history has been done changed greatly during Jordan's life time, and discusses the role of these changes in both placing naturalists on the defensive among an array of new disciplines and attitudes in science, and providing them with new tools and justifications for doing natural history. One of the primary intents of this study is to demonstrate the many different motives and conditions through which naturalists came to and worked in natural history.

    Dipteron Band 2 (6) S.113-132 ISSN 1436-5596 Kiel,15.9.1999 New data for the tribes Milesiini and Xylotini (Diptera, Syrphidae) on the Balkan Peninsula [Neue Daten fur die Triben Milesiini und Xylotini (Diptera, Syrphidae) van der Balkanhalbinsel] Ante VUJIC (Novi Sad) & Vesna MILANKOV (Novi Sad) Abstract: Distributional data are presented for four species of the tribe Milesiini (genus Criorhina MEIGEN, 1822) and 13 species of four genera of the tribe Xylotini (Brachypalpoides HIPPA, 1978, Brachypalpus MACQUART, 1834, Chalcosyrphus CURRAN, 1925, Xylota MErGEN, 1822) occuring on the Balkan Peninsula. The species Criorhina ranunculi (PANZER, [1804]) is recorded on the Balkan Peninsula for the fIrst time. A speci• men of Chalcosyrphus valgus (GMELIN, 1790) from Dubasnica mountain (Serbia) presents the fust verifIed record of the species on the Balkan Peninsula. Previously published reports of Xylota coeruleiventris ZETTERSTEDT,1838 on the Peninsula actually belong to X. jakuto• rum BAGACHANOVA,1980. Brachypalpus laphriformis (FALLEN, 1816), B. valgus (PANZER, [1798]), Criorhina asilica (FALLEN, 1816), Xylota jakutorum and X. jlorum (FABRICIUS, 1805) have been collected for the fust time in Montenegro. The record of Brachypalpus val· gus from Verno mountain is the first for Greece. A key to genera and species of the tribe Xylotini on the Balkan Peninsula and illustrations of characteristic morphological features are presented.

    1 Masarykova univerzita Přírodovědecká fakulta Katedra zoologie a ekologie Biologie, vývoj a zoogeografie vybraných saproxylických skupin orientálních druhů čeledi Stratiomyidae Diplomová práce 2007 Prof. RNDr. R. Rozkošný, Dr. Sc. Alena Bučánková 2 Biologie, vývoj a zoogeografie vybraných saproxylických skupin orientálních druhů čeledi Stratiomyidae Abstrakt Je popsána morfologie, biologie a zoogeografie larev čtyř druhů z čeledi Stratiomyidae. Dva z nich, Pegadomyia pruinosa a Craspedometopon sp. n., patří do podčeledi Pachygasterinae, další dva, Adoxomyia bistriata a Cyphomyia bicarinata , patří do podčeledi Clitellariinae. Larvy byly sbírány Dr. D. Kovacem pod kůrou padlých stromů v Malysii a Thajsku. Saproxylický způsob života larev v rámci celé čeledi je zde diskutován jako původní stav. Byly vytypovány morfologické a biologické znaky larev s možným fylogenetickým významem a jejich platnost byla vyzkoušena v kladistických programech Nona a Winclada. Zjištěný fylogenetický vztah hlavních podčeledí odpovídá v podstatě současnému systému čeledi. Překážkou detailnímu vyhodnocení jsou zatím jen nedostatečné popisy larev a jejich malá znalost, zvláště v tropických oblastech. Biology, development and zoogeography of some saproxylic Oriental species of Stratiomyidae (Diptera) Abstract The morphology, biology and zoogeography of four larvae of Stratiomyidae are described. Two of them, Pegadomyia pruinosa , Craspedometopon sp. n. belong to the subfamily Pachygasteinae, the others, Adoxomyia bistriata and Cyphomyia bicarinata are placed to the subfamily Clitellariinae. The larvae were collected under the bark of fallen trees in Malaysia and Thailand by Dr. D. Kovac. The saproxylic habitat of stratiomyid larvae is discussed in this thesis as an original state. The morphological and biological characters of possible phylogenetic significance are evaluated and their value was verified with use of Nona and Winclada programs.

  • Household Insects of the Rocky Mountain States
    Household Insects of the Rocky Mountain States Bulletin 557A January 1994 Colorado State University, University of Wyoming, Montana State University Issued in furtherance of Cooperative Extension work, Acts of May 8 and June 30, 1914, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Milan Rewerts, interim director of Cooperative Extension, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado. Cooperative Extension programs are available to all without discrimination. No endorsement of products named is intended nor is criticism implied of products not mentioned. FOREWORD This publication provides information on the identification, general biology and management of insects associated with homes in the Rocky Mountain/High Plains region. Records from Colorado, Wyoming and Montana were used as primary reference for the species to include. Mention of more specific localities (e.g., extreme southwestern Colorado, Front Range) is provided when the insects show more restricted distribution. Line drawings are provided to assist in identification. In addition, there are several lists based on habits (e.g., flying), size, and distribution in the home. These are found in tables and appendices throughout this manual. Control strategies are the choice of the home dweller. Often simple practices can be effective, once the biology and habits of the insect are understood. Many of the insects found in homes are merely casual invaders that do not reproduce nor pose a threat to humans, stored food or furnishings. These may often originate from conditions that exist outside the dwelling. Other insects found in homes may be controlled by sanitation and household maintenance, such as altering potential breeding areas (e.g., leaky faucets, spilled food, effective screening).
