New York Entomol. Soc. 104(3-4):226-230, 1996 MYRMECOPHILY IN KEROPLATIDAE (DIPTERA: SCIAROIDEA) The Keroplatidae, a family of the Sciaroidea (fungus gnats), are a cosmopolitan group, and, although they are encountered frequently, very little has been published on their biology. Matile (1990) revised the Arachnocampinae, Macrocerinae and Keroplatini, and included information, where known, on immature stages. Keroplatid larvae spin silk webs and are either predaceous or fungal spore feeders. The most complete account of the natural history of any predaceous member of this family can be obtained from the numerous papers on the New Zealand Glow worm, Arachnocampa luminosa (Skuse), a fungus gnat with luminous larvae (see Pugsley, 1983, 1984, for a review of the literature and ecology of the species, and Matile, 1990, for morphology and a summary of biology).

HD/PGE typically evolves from male heterogamety (i.e., systems with X chromosomes), however why X chromosomes are important for the evolution of HD/PGE remains debated. The Haploid Viability Hypothesis argues that X chromosomes promote the evolution of male haploidy by facilitating purging recessive deleterious mutations. The Intragenomic Conflict Hypothesis instead argues that X chromosomes promote the evolution of male haploidy due to conflicts with autosomes over sex ratios and transmission. To test these hypotheses, we studied lineages that combine germline PGE with XX/X0 sex determination (gPGE+X systems).
