Diptera: Dolichopodidae) and the Significance of Morphological Characters Inferred from Molecular Data

Dolichopodidae (over 6000 described species in more than 200 genera) is one of the most speciose families of Diptera. Males of many dolichopodid species, including Dolichopus, feature conspicuous ornaments (Male Secondary Sexual Characters) that are used during courtship. Next to these MSSCs, every identification key to Dolichopus primarily uses colour characters (postocular bristles; femora) of unknown phylogenetic relevance. The phylogeny of Dolichopodidae has rarely been investigated, especially at the species level, and molecular data were hardly ever involved. We inferred phylogenetic relationships among 45 species (57 sam- ples) of the subfamily Dolichopodinae on the basis of 32 morphological and 1415 nucleotide characters (810 for COI, 605 for Cyt-b). The monophyly of Dolichopus and Gymnopternus as well as the separate systematic position of Ethiromyia chalybea were supported in all analyses, confirming recent findings by other authors based purely on morphology. -

Sampling was performed during the adult flies’ seasonal activity (March-October) in 2002, 2003 and 2004 using yellow pan traps, Malaise traps, emergence traps, and by sweeping. Altogether 5,697 specimens of 78 species of Dolichopodidae were collected, identified and analysed. The study examined community structure, species abundance, and diversity(Shannon-Weaver’sindex-H’;Sheldon’sequitabilityindex-E).Chrysotus cilipes,C. gramineus and Dolichopus ungulatus were the most abundant species in all three years. Species richness and diversity seem strongly affected by soil moisture.

CHARNOCK BRADLEY, M.B., C.M. IT is a somewhat remarkable fact that since 1848, when Messrs. Baikie and Heddle published their excellent for " the date Historia Naturalis Orcadensis," until the past year, 1904, no naturalist seems to have paid any attention to either the Vole or the Shrew inhabiting the Orkney Islands. The consequence is that the misleading pardon- ably misleading, it should be said statements of these authors regarding the specific identity of these Orcadian mammals have been unfortunately accepted by and repeated in all the subsequent writings on the subject with which I am acquainted. " " As regards the Vole, in the Zoologist for July 1 904 (pp. 241-246), Mr. J. G. Millais astonished British naturalists by describing the Orcadian Vole as a species new to science under the name of Microtus orcadensis, and as peculiar to 1 the Archipelago. -

The species were collected using a standard entomological net from three habitats (forest, grassland and wetland areas) in north–west Iran in 2013. Based on the data collected, the forest area with the highest di- versity indices (H' = 2.53, 14 species, and H' = 2.19, 10 species, in Chichakli and Keleybar regions respectively) had the most diverse and abundant species, followed by grassland and wetland areas. The dominant species in the study areas were Dolichopus longitarsis and D. simplex. Besides, three species (D. siculus, D. kiritshenkoi and D. plumipes) were recorded from Iran for the frst time. Diagnostic characters and geographical distribution of the species occurring in the studied areas with supplementary fgures are provided. Key words: Dolichopus, Species diversity, New records, East Azerbaijan Province, Iran.

Abstract: Up to now the long-legged flies (Diptera, Empidoidea, Dolichopodidae) represent a poorly investigated insect group in Latvia. In this article all recent faunal data and all known literature references on dolichopodid species from Latvia are given. 68 of stated dolichopodid species are new for Latvia. The provisional list of dolichopodid species of Latvia (142 species) is composed of both, detailed analysis of literature references and on determination results of sampled material.
