Natura Somogyiensis 1
DOI:10.24394/NatSom.2001.1.423 Natura Somogyiensis 1 423-424 Kaposvár, 2001 Somogy megye fejeslegyeinek katalógusa (Diptera: Conopidae) TÓTH SÁNDOR TÓTH S.: Checklist of thick-headed flies of Somogy county (Diptera: Conopidae) Abstract: Out of the 40 thick-headed fly species recorded in Hungary, 25 taxa are proved to be found in Somogy county. The fauna of the area is poorly known. Some of the relatively rare species known from this area are Conops vesicularis Linnaeus, 1761, Dalmannia dorsalis (Fabricius, 1794), Leopoldius coronatus (Rondani, 1857), Myopa polystigma Rondani, 1857, Thecophora distincta (Meigen, 1824), Zodion notatum (Meigen, 1804). Bevezetés Magyarország fejeslegyeinek kutatottságát jónak nevezhetjük, azonban a fa unáról összefoglaló tanulmány még nem készült. A fajok száma mintegy 40-re becsülhető. A régebbi faunisztikai irodalomban nem sikerült Somogy megyére vonatkozó fejeslégy közlést találni. Csupán a területen szervezett programok keretében készült 3 dolgozat (CSIBY 1981, TÓTH 1992, 1995), továbbá a pub likálatlan adatokból összeállított kézirat (TÓTH előkészületben) tartalmaz ide vágó adatokat. Ennek figyelembe vételével, Somogy megyéből jelenleg 25 fejeslégy faj előfordulását tekinthetjük igazoltnak. A fauna kutatottságát köze pesnek mondhatjuk. A hazai fajok elterjedési és gyakorisági viszonyainak érté kelése még nem történt meg. Ezért egyelőre csak általánosságban beszélhetünk ritka fajokról. A faunalista tagjai közül ilyenek pl. az alábbiak: Conops vesicu laris Linnaeus, 1761, Dalmannia dorsalis (Fabricius, -
CONOPIDAE IM BALTISCHEN BERNSTEIN Nr
download Biodiversity Heritage Library, http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/ Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde aus dem Staatlichen Museum für Naturkunde in Stuttgart Stuttgart I.Juni 1966 Nr. 154 Conopidae im Baltischen BernsMn (Diptera; Cyclorrhapha) Von Willi Hennig, Stuttgart Mit 27 Abbildungen Die Conopidae sind — ganz abgesehen von ihrer eigenartigen Morphologie und Lebensweise — eine besonders interessante Gruppe, weil sie nach Ansicht verschie- dener Autoren der Gesamtheit aller übrigen Schizophora als Schwestergruppe gegen- überstehen. Dazu ist allerdings zu bedenken, daß in die „Familie Conopidae" bis in die allerjüngste Zeit die Stylogastridae eingeschlossen wurden. Enderlein (1936) ver- wendet für die beiden Schwestergruppen die Namen Archischiza (mit der einzigen Familie Conopidae) und Muscaria (alle übrigen Schizophora). Seguy (1951 in Grasse) nennt sie, weniger glücklich, Conopoidea und Muscoidea. Auch Hendel (1936/37 in Kükenthal -Krumbach) und Rohdendorf (1964) vertreten die Annahme, daß zwischen den beiden Gruppen ein Schwestergruppenverhältnis besteht. Rohdendorf bringt das in seiner Stammbaumzeichnung (p. 265, Fig. 85) und Hendel mit Worten (p. 1876) zum Ausdruck: „Die sonst spezialisierten Conopiden zweigen danach vor der Gabe- lung der Schizophoren in Acalyptratae und Calyptratae ab ..." In ihren Systemen lassen beide Autoren ihre Überzeugung allerdings nicht erkennen; denn beide sind Anhänger einer typologischen Systematik: Ihre Systeme sind keine genauen Darstel- lungen der von ihnen angenommenen phylogenetischen Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen. Mit der Frage, ob die Annahme eines Schwestergruppenverhältnisses zwischen den Archischiza und den Muscaria (bzw. Conopoidea und Muscoidea im Sinne von Seguy) berechtigt ist, habe ich mich früher (1958) auseinandergesetzt mit dem auch heute noch gültigen Ergebnis, daß man „trotz der noch durchaus unzulänglichen Begründung das Bestehen eines Schwestergruppenverhältnisses zwischen den Conopidae und den ,übrigen Schizophora' doch wohl für wahrscheinlich halten" muß. -

Conops Quadrifasciatus Geer 1776 – Species Registered in 2016 in the Republic of Moldova
Sustainable use, protection of animal world and forest 172 management in the context of climate change CONOPS QUADRIFASCIATUS GEER 1776 – SPECIES REGISTERED IN 2016 IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA Asea M. Timus Institute of Zoology, Academy of Sciences of Moldova, Chişinau, e-mal: [email protected] In spring of 2016the Conops quadrifasciatus De Geer, 1776 species (Diptera, Conopidae) was recorded in the Republic of Moldova. The specimens of this spe- cies were observed in 03.IV.2016 on the plants from campus of SAUM. The species is aentomological curiosity, because imago presents phenomenon of the mimicrism and is very similar to wasps. For the first time in native literature, the species was mentions in “Animal world. Insects. 1983”: “Species widespread in the USSR, Eastern Europe and Asia Minor is “bolishegolovka 4-h polosnaia” C.quadrifasciatus”. According to the passage it goes without saying that, the species is widespread in the Republic of Moldova too. Other sources indicated that the species spreads from Europe to Siberia, and most often in Central Europe. According to the database of the Fauna Europaea, this species is re- corded in the following countries: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Britain, Czech Repub- lic, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithua- nia, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden. For Moldova is indicated as – absent, but for neighbouring states as follows: Romania – present and Ukraine – absent. Description. The adult has 10-15 mm body length, and due to long legs has a great look insect. The dominant color is dark brown (Fig. 1). The head is large, dark brown and with long spindly antennae. -

Conopid Recording Scheme Newsletter 6
.. Conopid Recording Scheme [NCDRPORAT[NG 1HE LONatOPTEIUDA£ STIJDY GROUP Newsletter No.6 June 1995 Further disruption during 1994/95 continues to keep me fully occupied. A change of employers has meant a return to Cardiff after an absence of more than 10 years, with all the upheaval that entails. A house-move and change of address will occur in the near future (I hope!), but in the meantime all correspondence should continue to be sent to my Cirencester address. The bulk of this newsletter comprises a set of draft keys to the British fauna, prepared originally for the conopid and larger Brachycera identification workshop at Preston Montford earlier this year, and incorporating useful comments arising at that time. These keys include reference to the more likely of the potential additional species from the European fauna, many of which are very simiJar to recognised British species. I have not attempted to include these within the keys, but have instead given details of 'alert characteristics' which, if noticed, should serve to mark out the specimen concerned as needing further investigation as a poss~ble addition. Many of the potential additions are very widespread in Europe, but would almost certainly be overlooked by recorders relying on current British keys. Any comments on the success or failings of these keys would be gratefully received, as would sight of any specimens which don't fit, or which exhibit any of the noted 'alert characteristics•. All recorders are urged especially to be on the look out for Conops vitellinus, which looks very much like our C quadrifsciatus. -

Email: [email protected] Abstract Zodion hispanicum spec. nov. is described from Spain (Murcia, Sierra Espuña) and Zodion hauseri spec. nov. is described from Kazakhstan (Almaty Province, Charyn Valley). A diagnosis is given for Zodion andersoni Kröber, 1936 and Zodion vsevolodi Zimina, 1974. Zodion asiaticum Becker, 1922 is placed as a junior synonym of Zodion cinereum (Fabricius, 1794) (syn. nov.). New faunistic records are presented for Z. andersoni and Z. vsevolodi. Key words: Thick-headed flies, spec. nov., syn. nov., Europe, Spain, Kazakhstan Introduction The genus Zodion comprises 62 valid species worldwide. Twelve of these species occur in the Palaearctic Region. The genus is taxonomically difficult due to the variability of several species and the lack of stable characters to separate them. Mei & Stuke (2008) recently reviewed the European fauna and drew attention to some genitalic characters which help in species identification. Within the last ten years several specimens have come to my attention that either belong to undescribed species or are otherwise of faunistic interest. This paper summarises these records.

Antipa", Bucuresti] The present paper is based an extensive material of the family Cono pidae deposited in the collections of the Muzeul de Istarie Naturala "Gr. -mtipa", Bucuresti. We have found in the revised material altogether 39 species of this family collected on the whole territory of Rumania. We include also further 6 species which we did not find in the revised material but the occurrence of which in Rumania is known from the literature. At the present time 45 species of the family Conopidae are known on the territory of Rumania but not even this number is definite. Kröber (1936, 1939) records e. g. 57 species from Italy, 35 from Greece and 53 from France. Although the occurrence of conopid-flies is more frequent in warmer southern regions, in Czechoslovakia, where the family Conopidae has been studied very extensively [ Chväla, 1961, 1965), 52 species have been recorded and 8 other species are expected to be found here. The study and collecting of Conopidae especially in southern sandy regions of Rumania [ Bucuresti and Dobrogea Regions) will result without no doubt in the discovery of further interesting species. The first recmd on this family in Rumania was published by Frivaldszky [1876] who recorded 2 species - Zodion ctnereum Fabr. -
