Some years ago it came to my knowledge that this genus occurs in Japan, and this stimulated my particular interest in this genus on account of its distributional pattern. With the help of many entomologists there have been available for my study a good number of species of the genus collected in Japan and Taiwan in addition to the already described three from North America. A revision of the genus on the basis of these species is here attempted in the hope that it should engage the attention of entomologists in both Asia and America to this interesting genus, since it is quite possible that our knowledge still covers small part of the genus. Acknowledgements I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Prof. C. Watanabe for his directions in various ways. Dr. S.

One important foundation for the conservation of biodiversity on islands is an inventory of endemic species. In the absence of a comprehensive inventory, conservation effort often defaults to a focus on the better-known and more conspicuous species (typically mammals and birds). Although this component of island biota often needs such conservation attention, such focus may mean that less conspicuous endemic species (especially invertebrates) are neglected and suffer high rates of loss. In this paper, we review the available literature and online resources to compile a list of endemic species that is as comprehensive as possible for the 137 km2 oceanic Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the north-eastern Indian Ocean.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

Diostrucus morimotoi sp. nov. is distinctive in having additional setulae on scutellum, and extensively yellow legs and it is described from southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Diostrclcus maculatus Negrobov, 1980, described from the Primorsky Territory is here recorded from many localities in southern Korea. Key words: Taxonomy, Diptera, Dolichopodidae, Diostracus, Korea. new species. Introduction The hydrophorine genus Diostracus Loew, 1861, includes dolichopodids living on wet rocks and stones in mountain streams.Although it is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere from Europe to North America through Eastern Asia. it prospers extremely in temperate Eastern Asia, where 62 out of 66 named species are distributed. This genus is known from Europe, the best-surveyed region for dolichopodid fauna. only by Diostrucus Zeucostomus (Loew) from Alps, and from N. America by three species. Numbers of species in each region in Eastern Asia are as follows: Far East Russia (5). Japan (12), Taiwan (3), China (l), Burma (4), Nepal (37+1 unnamed).

    Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey for 2009 –2010. Edited by Neal L. Evenhuis & Lucius G. Eldredge. Bishop Museum Occasional Papers 109: 3 –13 (2011) A new species of the endemic Hawaiian genus Paraliancalus Parent , with notes on the genus Liancalus Loew (Diptera : Dolichopodidae) 1 NeAl l. e veNHUiS Hawaii Biological Survey. Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96817, USA; email: [email protected] & D ANiel J. B iCkel 2 The Australian Museum, 6–8 College Street, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia; email: [email protected] The genus Paraliancalus was originally proposed by Parent (1938) for the single endemic Hawaiian species Liancalus metallicus Grimshaw, 1901, a widespread species found on most of the main Hawaiian islands. it is one of the largest Hawaiian dolichopodids, being some 8 mm in length. Possibly due to this large size and assuming the genus contained only one species, dolichopodid workers have not paid close attention to specific morphological characters of the specimens, assuming all belonged to the type species, P. metallicus . Recently, examination of a few male specimens in the Bishop Museum by one of us (DJB), showed that the genus is actually represented in Hawaii by two morpho-species, both of which are similar in appearance but differ in leg and genitalic characters. After borrowing specimens from the University of Hawai‘i insect Museum and examining all material in the Bishop Museum, we conclude that there are indeed two species of Paraliancalus in Hawai‘i. We herein describe and illustrate the second species as Para - liancalus laciniafemur , n. sp ., which is thus far known only from the island of Maui.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The new micro-dolichopodid genus Haromyia gen. nov. and the type species H. iviei sp. nov. are described from the island of Dominica in the Lesser Antilles. Males and females of Haromyia are distinguished by the large setae on a bulging clypeus, minute size, and wing veins that are nearly straight and evenly diverging from wing base. Haromyia does not fit readily into any contemporary dolichopodid subfamily, although it superficially resembles the Enliniinae and Achalcinae. Haromyia should be regarded as incertae sedis until the dolichopodid subfamilies can be refined, particularly to better incorporate the tropical diversity of this large family. Key words: Neotropical, micro-dolichopodid, Enlinia, Harmstonia, West Indies, Achalcinae, clypeal setae Introduction Robinson’s monograph of the Dolichopodidae of Dominica (Robinson 1975), a product of the multi-year Bredin- Archbold-Smithsonian Biological Survey, documented 113 species in 30 genera from the island. Three new genera, Cryptopygiella Robinson, Dominicomyia Robinson, Micromedetera Robinson, and 69 new species were described in that work (Robinson 1975).
