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.

    Proceedings of the United States National Museum SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION . WASHINGTON, D.C. Volume 121 1967 Number 3569 SOLDIER FLY LARVAE IN AMERICA NORTH OF MEXICO ' By Max W. McFadden ^ The Stratiomyidae or soldier flies are represented in America north of Mexico by approximately 237 species distributed through 37 genera. Prior to this study, larvae have been described for only 21 species representmg 15 genera. In addition to the lack of adequate descriptions and keys, classification has seldom been attempted and a phylogenetic treatment of the larvae has never been presented. The present study has been undertaken with several goals in mind: to rear and describe (1) as many species as possible; (2) to redescribe all previously described larvae of North American species; and (3), on the basis of larval characters, to attempt to define various taxo- nomic units and show phylogenetic relationships withm the family and between it and other closely related familes. Any attempt to establish subfamilial and generic lunits must be regarded as tentative. This is especially true in the present study since larvae of so many species of Stratiomyidae remain unknown. Undoubtably, as more species are reared, changes mil have to be made in keys and definitions of taxa. The keys have been prepared chiefly for identification of last mstar larvae. If earher mstars are known, they either have been 1 Modified from a Ph. D. dissertation submitted to the University of Alberta E(hnonton, Canada. ' 2 Entomology Research Division, U.S. Dept.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

GENERA OF THE SUBTRIBE METALLICINA AND CLASSIFICATION, RECONSTRUCTED PHYLOGENY AND GEOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF THE SPECIES OF EUPROCTINUS LENG AND MUTCHLER (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE: LEBIINI) Danny Shpeley Department of Entomology University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta Quaestiones Entomologicae Canada T6G 2E3 22: 261-349 1986 ABSTRACT The New World lebiine genus Euproctinus Leng & Mutchler (type-species - Euproctus fasciatus Solier) is removed from the subtribe Calleidina and placed in the subtribe Metallicina. A reconstructed phytogeny of this subtribe places the genera in the sequence, Parena-Metallica-Pachycallida-Euproctinus, with the ancestor of Euproctinus and that of the other three genera as sister groups. Adults of Euproctinus are readily distinguished by a ventral sensory pit on each of antennomeres 5-11. These pits also occur in the remaining metallicine genera, as well as the Old World genus Celaenephes Schmidt-Gobel, and some of the New World species o/Coptodera Dejean. Keys distinguish the two subgenera and 16 of 17 species of Euproctinus, and each taxon is characterized in terms of structural features of adults, habitat, geographical distribution, chorological affinities, and phylogenetic relationships. The geographical range of Euproctinus extends from central Chile to southern United States and Cuba. In Mexico, species of Euproctinus live from sea level to moderately high elevation. However, only two (E.

  • Annual Report 2017 Southampton Natural History Society the 2017 Annual Report
    Annual Report 2017 Southampton Natural History Society The 2017 Annual Report Contents Jan Schubert, Secretary Welcome to the Annual Report of the Southampton Natural History Society The 2017 Annual Report 1 for 2017. Last year we experimented with including write-ups of the talks given at our indoor meetings and they proved very popular. So this year Membership Report for 2017 1 we have included more! Particular thanks are due to Daphne Woods for writing notes in the dark, transcribing them and checking their accuracy Peartree Green Local Nature Reserve 2 with the speakers. Garden Wildlife Recording 4 Thanks are also due to the speakers themselves, to Cath Corney for arranging the talks, and to Anthea and Vernon Jones for making the teas Bats — Superheroes of the Night 7 and coffees. It is quite a task arranging such a varied list of talks, so if you have any ideas for a topic or can suggest a good speaker (perhaps someone Bird Aware Solent you have heard give a talk to another group), let Cath know. Raising Awareness of Bird Disturbance 11 It would be great if future Annual Reports also included write-ups of our outdoor meetings. We also need more leaders for our walks. Contact Evolution of Birdiness Julian Mosely or Phil Budd if you are interested. Predatory Dinosaurs and the Evolution of Birds 14 We would also welcome articles from members, both for the Annual Report and for the website. They don’t need to be long — it could be as Itchen Water Meadows 18 short as a paragraph.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This is the first description of larva and puparium of Oplodontha rubrithorax (Macquart, 1838) from the Oriental Region. Larvae were found at a hot spring in North Thailand. The morphological features and cuticular structures of the larva are documented by drawings and SEM micrographs and the main characters are compared with the European O. viridula (Fabricius, 1775), the only described larva of this genus. Differences between larvae of both species were only found in pubescence. The characteristic, somewhat dilated and slightly clavate hairs on the dorsal surface of the body segments of O. viridula larva are apparently lacking in the larva of O. rubrithorax. Key words: Stratiomyidae, Oplodontha rubrithorax, larva, hot springs, Oriental Region, Thailand, taxonomy, morphology Introduction The Stratiomyidae or soldier flies have a worldwide distribution and comprise nearly 2700 described species (Woodley 2001, 2011).
