Four species, Dixella dyari Garret, 1924 (Dixidae), Threticus tridactilis (Kincaid, 1899), Panimerus albifacies (Tonnoir, 1919) and P. przhiboroi Wagner, 2005 (Psychodidae) are reported for the first time from Finland. Keywords Finland, Diptera, species list, biodiversity, faunistics Introduction Psychodidae or moth flies are an intermediately diverse family of nematocerous flies, comprising over 3000 species world-wide (Pape et al. 2011). Its taxonomy is still very unstable, and multiple conflicting classifications exist (Duckhouse 1987, Vaillant 1990, Ježek and van Harten 2005).

Fannidae), dung flies (F. Scathophagidae) and root maggot flies (F. Anthomyiidae). It is comprised of approximately 7000 described species. The monophyly of the Muscoidea and the precise relationships of muscoids to the closest superfamily the Oestroidea (blow flies, flesh flies etc)e ar both unresolved. Until now mitochondrial (mt) genomes were available for only two of the four muscoid families precluding a thorough test of phylogenetic relationships using this data source.

  • New Records of Lower Diptera (”Nematocera”) from Finnmark, Northern Norway
    © Norwegian Journal of Entomology. 9 December 2013 New records of lower Diptera (”Nematocera”) from Finnmark, northern Norway TROND ANDERSEN, LINN KATRINE HAGENLUND, ØYVIND HÅLAND, GUNNAR MIKALSEN KVIFTE & JOHN SKARTVEIT Andersen, T., Hagenlund, L.K., Håland, Ø., Kvifte, G.M. & Skartveit, J. 2013. New records of lower Diptera (“Nematocera”) from Finnmark. Norwegian Journal of Entomology 60, 182–189. Records of 15 species of the nematocerous Diptera families Ptychopteridae, Dixidae, Thaumaleidae, Bibionidae and Canthyloscelidae from Finnmark are presented. Eight species, Ptychoptera hugoi Tjeder, 1968, Dixa nebulosa Meigen, 1830, Dixella borealis (Martini, 1928), Dixella dyari (Garret, 1924), Dixella obscura (Loew, 1849), Thaumalea truncata Edwards, 1929, Bibio clavipes Meigen, 1818 and Synneuron annulipes Lundström, 1910 are recorded for the first time from Finnmark. The taxonomy of Thaumalea truncata is commented on. Key words: Ptychopteridae, Dixidae, Thaumaleidae, Bibionidae, Canthyloscelidae, distribution, Finnmark, Norway.

  • 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.

  • Observations on Antennal Morphology in Diptera, with Particular Reference to the Articular Surfaces Between Segments 2 and 3 in the Cyclorrhapha
    © The Author, 2011. Journal compilation © Australian Museum, Sydney, 2011 Records of the Australian Museum (2011) Vol. 63: 113–166. ISSN 0067-1975 doi:10.3853/j.0067-1975.63.2011.1585 Observations on Antennal Morphology in Diptera, with Particular Reference to the Articular Surfaces between Segments 2 and 3 in the Cyclorrhapha DaviD K. Mcalpine Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia abstract. The main features of antennal segments 2 and 3 seen in the higher Diptera are described, including many that are not or inadequately covered in available publications. The following terms are introduced or clarified: for segment 2 or the pedicel—annular ridge, caestus, chin, collar, conus, distal articular surface, encircling furrow, foramen of articulation, foraminal cusp, foraminal ring, pedicellar button, pedicellar cup, rim; for segment 3 or the postpedicel—basal foramen, basal hollow, basal stem, postpedicellar pouch, sacculus, scabrous tongue, sub-basal caecum; for the stylus or arista—stylar goblet. Particular attention is given to the occurrence and position of the pedicellar button. The button is the cuticular component of a chordotonal organ, which perhaps has the role of a baroreceptor. It is present in the majority of families of Diptera, and possibly was present in the ancestral dipteran. Some generalizations about antennal structure are made, and a diagram showing the main trends in antennal evolution in the Eremoneura is provided. The general form of the antenna shows a transition from approximate radial symmetry (e.g., in Empis, Microphor, and Opetia) through to superficial bilateral symmetry (in many taxa of Eumuscomorpha), though there is usually much asymmetry in detail.
