I+l Canada ABSTRACT REDEFINITION AND REVISION OF THE GENUS TAENIAPTERA MACQUART, 1835 (D1PTERA: MICROPEZIDAE) Morgan D. Jackson Advisors: University of Guelph, 2011 Professor S.A. Marshall Special Graduate Faculty J.H. Skevington The genus Taeniaptera Macquart is redefined and revised following a phylogenetic analysis of select Taeniapterinae. The phylogenetic analysis utilized DNA characters (12S rRNA, cytochrome-c-oxidase subunit I, wingless, and a portion of the c- p-s region of CAD) as well as morphological characters (external structure, male & female genitalia). Data was analyzed primarily using maximum parsimony with Bayesian Inference used for total molecular evidence. The existing Taeniapterine tribal classifications were recovered as paraphyletic. Taeniaptera, Hemichaeta Hennig, ParagraUomyia Hendel and GraUomyia Rondani were all elevated to the generic level. Taeniaptera is redefined to include only species with a closed wing cell T4+5 {Taeniaptera trivittata Macquart, T. lasciva (Fabricius), T. nigriceps Hennig, T. vulpes Cresson, T. knutsonii n. sp., T. longapilis n. sp., and T. promiscua n. sp.), and belong to a larger clade characterized by an axe-shaped maxillary palpus. Taeniaptera is revised with an illustrated key to species and detailed species (re)descriptions. Acknowledgements I'd like to begin by thanking my supervisors, Drs. Stephen A. Marshall and Jeffrey H. Skevington. Steve first introduced me to the fascinating world of systematic entomology during my undergraduate studies, and has provided me with multiple opportunities to explore the never ending diversity of flies through class work and independent study, which has culminated in this study. Steve's encyclopedic knowledge of the lnsecta, endless patience critiquing and improving my writing, and prowess with a camera have all been invaluable to my education and career development. Jeff provided me a glimpse into the world of molecular phylogenetics and the potential gains and pitfalls associated with this field of study, and an alternative yet complimentary approach to systematics and taxonomy. Steve and Jeff also supported my research financially, with NSERC Discovery Grants (SAM, JHS), University of Guelph funding (SAM), AAFC funding (JHS), and NSF funds through the Fly Tree of Life project (JHS). I'd also like to thank my third committee member, Dr. Robert Hanner for yet another viewpoint on the science of taxonomy. I'd like to thank my friends and colleagues in the University of Guelph Insect collection (Matthew Bergeron, Adam Brunke, Dr. Matthias Buck, Phil Careless, Dave Cheung, Gil Goncalves Miranda, Adam Jewiss-Gaines, Joel Kits, John Klymko, Nichelle Lomas, Stephen Luk, Dr. Owen Lonsdale, Steve Paiero, Rob Pivar, and Andrew Young) for their continual support, academic opinions and debate, and for making the insect systematics lab a hell of a lot of fun, even on the most stressful of days. A special thank you to Scott Kelso, who taught me the art of the PCR, the way of the pipette, and showed me how a molecular lab should be run. I owe a large portion of my data to him, and he made my transition to the "dark side" (mostly) painless. Likewise, Joel Gibson was always around to discuss troubles with techniques or new theories. The CNC lunch crew (Drs. Jim O'Hara, Brad Sinclair, Scott Brooks, Jim Cumming, Pat Bouchard and Gary Gibson) provided me with more opinions on entomology and academia than I can remember while also providing a source of daily entertainment as I listened to their "debates". I'd like to thank the University of Guelph and the North American Dipterists Society (NADS) for providing me travel grants to attend the International Congress of Dipterology in Costa Rica and explore the wilderness of Costa Rica in search of more flies. I'd like to thank the institutions that allowed me access to their collections or provided loans of Taeniaptera specimens to Dr. Stephen Marshall: CMNH - Section of Insects and Spiders, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, PA; CNCI - Canadian National Collection of Insects, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Ottawa, ON; INPA - Colecao Sistematica da Entomologia, Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia, Manaus; MTEC - Montana State University Entomology Collection, Entomology Research Laboratory, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT; UNCB Museo de Historia Natural, Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sante Fe' de Bogota', Colombia USNM - United States National Museum, Smithsonian Institute, Washington DC. Last but certainly not least, 1 want to thank my wife, Renee, who has always supported and stood by me. She has put up with my collecting on vacations, long hours working in the lab or at home, and has always been waiting with a smile whenever I return from a collecting trip or conference. m Table of Contents Acknowledgements i Table of Contents iv List of Figures vii List of Tables xiv 1.

  • Diptera: Micropezidae: Taeniapterinae): a New Subfamily, Genus and Species to Greece
    Acta Entomologica Serbica , 20 21, 26(1): 75 -77 UDC : 595.772(495) DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4550859 Short communication RAINIERIA CALCEATA (DIPTERA: MICROPEZIDAE: TAENIAPTERINAE): A NEW SUBFAMILY, GENUS AND SPECIES TO GREECE SOTIRIS ALEXIOU 1 and GIORGOS KAKIOPOULOS 2 1 Entomon Lab, Athens, Greece E-mail: [email protected] 2 Ilidos 60-62 str., 11527 Athens, Greece E-mail: [email protected] Micropezidae is a small family of slender flies, with 22 species in Europe belonging to 5 genera (Oosterbroek, 2006). Rainieria Rondani, 1843 is a small genus with four species in the Palaearctic (Kurina, 2004). Two species occur in Europe, R. calceata (Fallen, 1820) and R. latifrons (Loew, 1870) (Kurina, 2004; Ozerov, 2013). Rainieria calceata (Fallen, 1820) (Fig.1) Greece, Τhessalia, Nomos Larrisas, Mt. Olimbos (Olympus), Palia Sicaminia, N 40.006294, E 22.383984, 1200 m a.s.l., 26.07.2020, leg. G. Kakiopoulos, det. S. Alexiou, 1 ♀. The specimen is deposited in the collection of Entomon Lab (ENTL). Our specimen was collected after it entered a stationary car through an open window. Rainieria belongs to subfamily Taeniapterinae, so far unknown from Greece. Characters that separate taenipterids from the other subfamilies are the arrangement of the setae on the head as well as the male genitalia (Papp & Schumann, 2000). The larvae of Rainieria depend on old forests of deciduous trees, on the rotting wood of which they feed (Oosterbroek, 2006). The adults can be found in a variety of habitats. Rainieria calceata can be separated from the closely related R. latifrons by the coloration of the femora and markings of the wings (van der Weele, 1998).

  • Family MICROPEZIDAE
    [398] Family MICROPEZIDAE Members of the Micropezidae, commonly called stilt flies, consist of slen­ der' long-legged flies found in most areas worldwide (some 500 species in about 40 genera). They are found predominantly in tropical regions, but their range ex­ tends in some temperate areas. Adults of extant forms are either predaceous on small insects or are attracted to animal excrement and decaying vegetation. The biologies of immatures is sparse, but those known have been recorded feeding upon roots and root nodules. Larvae of a wingless micropezid in Western Aus­ tralia were found in the pitchers of the Albany pitcher plant, Cephalotus jol­ licularis Labill. where they feed on decaying pitcher plant prey (Yeates, 1992) Bachofen-Echt (1949) recorded three species of Baltic amber Calobata, but only one Baltic amber species has been described; it was placed in the genus Electrobata by Hennig (1965). In addition to the described taxa listed below, Hurd et al. (1962: 110) recorded undetermined material of this family from the Miocene amber of Chiapas, Mexico.

  • ROBBER-FLIES and EMPIDS ROBBER-FLIES Asilidae. Very
    ROBBER-FLIES and EMPIDS Asilus ROBBER-FLIES Asilidae. Very bristly predatory flies that head from front generally chase and catch other insects in mid-air. Most species sit in wait and dart out when likely prey appears. The prey is then sucked dry with the stout proboscis, which projects horizontally or obliquely forward. There is a deep groove between the eyes in both sexes, the eyes never touching even in males. A 'beard' on the face protects eyes from struggling prey. Legs are sturdy and have 2 pads at most. Wings folded flat over body at rest. Larvae eat some dead vegetable matter, but most are at least partly predatory and some feed mainly on beetle and fly grubs in the soil. Asilus with prey As Asi/us crabroniformis. An unmistakable fly - one of the largest in B - inhabiting open country 7-10. A very strong flier. Breeds in cow pats and other dung. Dasypogon diadema. First 2 long veins both reach wing margin: wing membrane ribbed. Front tibia has curved spine at tip. Male more uniformly black, with dark wings. 6-8 in scrubby places, especially coastal dunes. S. ;., Leptogaster cylindrica. Feet without pads. Hind femur yellow. 3rd antennal segment ends in bristle. One of the slimmest robber-flies, it resembles a crane-fly in flight. It hunts in grassy places, flying slowly and plucking aphids from the grasses. 5-8. A L. guttiventris is similar but has reddish hind femur. 85 Dioctria atricapi/la. First 2 long veins reach margin. Beard rather sparse and, as in all Oioctria species, the antennae spring from a prominence high on the head.

  • Diptera: Micropezidae) Érica Sevilha Harterreiten-Souza1,2, José Roberto Pujol-Luz1, and Edison Ryoiti Sujii2,*
    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.
