Sowohl Enderlein wie Frey heben aber bei Baumanni (nächste Art) gegen- über respondens hervor, daß die Subbasalbinde des Flügels kaum oder nicht vorhanden wäre. Die wahrscheinlichste Deutung ist also die, daß respondens Walk, der Baumanni EnderL entspricht, während die von Enderlein und Frey als respondens bezeichnete Art mit der von Walker als respondens var. bezeichneten (also congensis Curran) identisch ist. Die Czerny'sche respondens lag mir vor. Sie besitzt eine deutliche Subbasalbinde und gehört damit eben- falls hierher. Diese Art mit Curran als var. von trifasciata aufzu- fassen ist wohl unrichtig, da viele Exemplare aus ganz Mittel- afrika bekannt sind, ohne daß ein Übergang zu trifasciata vor- handen wäre.

Part 1 - Acalyptratae. – Acta Mus. Siles. Sci. Natur. 69: 1-19, 2020. Abstract: Records of 18 species of the families Micropezidae (1 species), Lonchaeidae (1 species), Lauxaniidae (1 species), Chamaemyiidae (6 species), Agromyzidae (6 species) and Chloropidae (3 species) from glacial sand deposits in the Czech Silesia (NE Czech Republic) are presented and their association with sandy habitats is discussed. All of them are recorded from the Czech Silesia for the first time, 4 are new additions to the fauna of Moravia and 9 for the whole Czech Republic. None of the recorded species is psammobiont but five of them are classified as psammophilous, viz. Micro- peza lateralis Meigen, 1826 (Micropezidae), Calliopum geniculatum (Fabricius, 1805) (Lauxaniidae), Cerodontha (Xenophytomyza) leptophallus L. Papp, 2016, Ophiomyia disordens Pakalniškis, 1998 (both Agromyzidae), Aphanotrigonum parahastatum Dely-Draskovits, 1981 (Chloropidae), and Leucopis celsa Tanasijtshuk, 1979 as probably psammophilous. A new easternmost record of M. late- ralis (from S. Poland: Godów) is presented and the association of this species and C. geniculatum with growths of Cytisus scoparius is confirmed.

    Influence of various farmland habitats on abundance of Taeniaptera (Diptera: Micropezidae) Érica Sevilha Harterreiten-Souza1,2, José Roberto Pujol-Luz1, and Edison Ryoiti Sujii2,* Abstract Stilt-legged flies play an important ecological role in the process of decomposition of organic matter and, on occasion, in the biological control of insects. Currently, there are 46 known species of Taeniaptera Macquart (Diptera: Micropezidae), and their occurrence is reported in various environments throughout the tropics. In contrast, population information on their temporal and spatial distribution is scarce in areas of the Cerrado biome in Brazil, where habitats are highly disturbed and fragmented by agricultural practices and, therefore, the abundance of the group may change. This study as- sessed abundance of Taeniaptera species in habitats associated with farmland, and determined the change in abundance throughout the year. The stilt- legged flies were sampled in various habitats, namely, organically produced vegetable crops, fallow areas, agroforestry, and native vegetation associated with 4 farms located in the Federal District. In each habitat, one Malaise trap was installed, which remained in place for 72 h, at 14 d intervals, from Mar 2012 to Feb 2013. In total, 486 individuals were collected and identified as members of the speciesT. lasciva (F.), T. annulata (F.), and Taeniaptera sp. The mean abundance of flies was highest in vegetable crops when compared with other habitats, and the abundance was relatively steady throughout the year. Among the habitats sampled, vegetable crop systems were the most suitable habitats for conserving Taeniaptera species. Key Words: micropezids; Taeniaptera lasciva; Cerrado vegetation; organic vegetable crop; abundance Resumen Las moscas de patas largas juegan un papel ecológico importante en el proceso de descomposición de la materia orgánica y, en ocasiones, en el control biológico de insectos.

  • F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera
    F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera Bibliography Thompson, F. C, Evenhuis, N. L. & Sabrosky, C. W. The following bibliography gives full references to 2,982 works cited in the catalog as well as additional ones cited within the bibliography. A concerted effort was made to examine as many of the cited references as possible in order to ensure accurate citation of authorship, date, title, and pagination. References are listed alphabetically by author and chronologically for multiple articles with the same authorship. In cases where more than one article was published by an author(s) in a particular year, a suffix letter follows the year (letters are listed alphabetically according to publication chronology). Authors' names: Names of authors are cited in the bibliography the same as they are in the text for proper association of literature citations with entries in the catalog. Because of the differing treatments of names, especially those containing articles such as "de," "del," "van," "Le," etc., these names are cross-indexed in the bibliography under the various ways in which they may be treated elsewhere. For Russian and other names in Cyrillic and other non-Latin character sets, we follow the spelling used by the authors themselves. Dates of publication: Dating of these works was obtained through various methods in order to obtain as accurate a date of publication as possible for purposes of priority in nomenclature. Dates found in the original works or by outside evidence are placed in brackets after the literature citation.

Summaries of the number of species in families known to be in VC55 at that time were presented with the intention that fuller status assessments would be made in due course. The known records of flies to the end of 2020 are now being collated, checked, validated and plotted in order to produce a sequence of status reports as part of the Leicestershire Entomological Society Occasional Publication Series (LESOPS). Reviews of the Conopidae and Tephritidae have already appeared (Morris, 2021a, b) and are now followed by consideration of records from the fly families with a maximum of 10 species (Table 1).

Seventeen families are commonly found in freshwater wetlands, with Ephydridae, Chloropidae, Sciomyzidae, Sphaeroceridae, and Scathophagidae being among the most important in terms of population size and species richness. Difficulty with sampling cryptic larval habitats and species identification chal- lenges may account for the exclusion of acalyptrate and other dipterans from wetlands ecology studies. Large populations are facilitated by the high productivity of freshwater wetlands and the high intrinsic rate of increase characteristic of many species. Higher dipterans exist in all freshwater wetland types, are microhabitat selective, and play significant roles in food webs. The varied strategies for food acquisition and patterns of spatial and temporal distribution limit ecological overlap among the higher Diptera. CONTENTS Annu. Rev. Entomol. 2002.47:207-232.

Influence of various farmland habitats on abundance of Taeniaptera (Diptera: Micropezidae) Érica Sevilha Harterreiten-Souza1,2, José Roberto Pujol-Luz1, and Edison Ryoiti Sujii2,* Abstract Stilt-legged flies play an important ecological role in the process of decomposition of organic matter and, on occasion, in the biological control of insects. Currently, there are 46 known species of Taeniaptera Macquart (Diptera: Micropezidae), and their occurrence is reported in various environments throughout the tropics.

R., Azidah A. A.* and Meor S. R. 1Institute of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Accepted 22 February, 2013 A study was conducted on the diversity and abundance of insect species at Kota Damansara Community Forest Reserve in order to determine the richness of the forest insect fauna. A total of 774 insects from 13 Orders and 79 Families were recorded. This study shows that Coleoptera (42.63%), Hymenoptera (17.96%), Diptera (10.08%) and Orthoptera (10.85%) were the most dominant Orders in the Forest Reserve. The highest insect diversity was observed in Diptera (Shannon’s, H’ = 2.67), while Dermaptera, Isoptera, Mantodea and Phasmatodea (Shannon’s, H’ = 0.00) were the lowest. However, the highest insect evenness was observed in Blattodea (Evenness, E = 0.36). This study also found that the abundance of insects in Kembit zone was the highest (Margalef index, = 8.51) compared to other zone sites. Key words: Insects, forest, diversity, abundance, evenness. INTRODUCTION This study is about the insects fauna of the Kota Phthiraptera,Psocoptera, Thysanoptera and Zoraptera. Damansara Community Forest Reserve. This area has They are unique in their own way and have an important been chosen because of the less known diversity and ecological role for survival of life on Earth.

E- mail: [email protected] Abstract The stilt-legged fly genus Micropeza contains 82 valid species. Currently 10 species are recorded in Brazil. Here we de- scribe a new species, M. dactyloptera sp. nov., based on 108 specimens (55 males and 53 females) from the States of Goiás, Paraná, and Distrito Federal, Brazil. Key words: acalyptrate, cerrado vegetation, Neotropical, Taxonomy Introduction The stilt-legged fly genus Micropeza Meigen, 1803 contains 82 valid species worldwide, with 20 species in the Nearctic region, 46 species in the Neotropical region and 19 species in the Palaearctic region (Ozerov 1997; Systema Dipterorum 2013). The genus is distinguished from other genera of Micropezidae by the presence of one to four katepisternum bristles, a row of dorsal bristles on hind tibia, absence of cell bm-cu in the wing, frontal and dorsocentral bristles (Ozerov, 1997; Marshall 2010). In the Neotropical region Micropeza is separated into two subgenera: Micropeza (Micropeza) Meigen, 1803 and Micropeza (Neriocephalus) Enderlein, 1922, which differ from each other by the number of notopleural bristles and wing venation (Ozerov 1997; Marshall 2010).
