    ABSTRACT Hill, Hilary Nan. Phylogenetic Utility of Two New Nuclear Genes, Opsin and CAD, within the stiletto flies (Diptera: Therevidae) (Under the direction of Brian M. Wiegmann). A need for multiple phylogenetic markers to reconstruct evolutionary relationships is increasingly apparent within both the Therevidae and insect systematics as a whole, especially markers that can accommodate the immense species diversity that arose during the Mesozoic (~65-250mya). Phylogenetic trees are often best reconstructed using datasets from distinct sources and from character sets that have been under different selective pressures. Many recent insect systematics studies use various combinations of markers from multiple genomes, morphology, and biogeography. Nuclear genes, particularly protein-encoding genes that are highly conserved and low copy-number, are increasingly attractive as phylogenetic markers, and there is a recent concerted effort to find and increase access to new nuclear genes. Chapter one of this study investigates the phylogenetic utility of opsin, a new multiple copy nuclear protein- encoding gene in the dipteran family Therevidae. The present analyses of nucleotide sequence data of opsin reconstructed a therevid phylogeny that is partially concordant with previous classifications which demonstrates that opsin may have some limited utility as a phylogenetic marker within the Therevidae and closely related Diptera, but also shows that opsin may be better used in combination with other molecular markers or morphological data sets. Phylogenetic analyses of opsin at multiple levels within insects supports these results, but also reveals the significant obstacles in technical manipulation of the gene and in the interpretaion of ortholog/paralog relationships. In the second chapter two new nuclear, protein-encoding genes, opsin and CAD, in combination with EF-1α and 28S rDNA, are applied to reconstruct evolutionary relationships among the major lineages of Therevidae for which previous molecular evidence has been insufficient.

  • 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.

E-mail: [email protected] urn:lsid:zoobank.org:author:2EA42EC4-BF86-4EEB-B97F-63C3C5A15298 Abstract Two new species of the cosmopolitan genus Metatrichia Coquillett are described. Metatrichia dhimurru sp. nov. is described from Arnhem Land (Northern Territory), Australia and represents the third species of the genus to be described from the Australasian region. Metatrichia venezuelensis sp. nov. from Venezuela is the third extant species of the genus to be described from the New World. Key words: Metatrichia, Asiloidea, Therevoid clade, Scenopinidae Introduction Scenopinidae (window flies) are a small family (ca. 420 species in 24 genera) of asiloid flies distributed on all continents except Antarctica. This family is closely related to Therevidae (stiletto flies) based on the characteristic secondarily segmented larval abdomen. Scenopinids are typically very small insects, frequently less than 5 mm in total body length. Adults are known to feed at flowers and honey dew, while larvae are predators in sandy soils and leaf litter, although larvae of some species have been reared from wood boring beetle galleries, bird nests and small mammal burrows (Kelsey 1969).

WINTERTON & PETER H. KERR California Department of Food & Agriculture, Plant Pest Diagnostics Branch, 3294 Meadowview Road, Sac- ramento, California 95832-1448, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of proratine window fly, Alloxytropus elias sp. nov., is described and figured from Israel. A key to species of Alloxytropus Bezzi is included. Key words: Systematics, Scenopinidae, Alloxytropus, Israel Introduction Scenopinidae are a cosmopolitan group of very small, dark flies (body size rarely greater than 5.0 mm) closely related to asiloid families Therevidae and Apsilocephalidae (Yeates & Wiegmann 2005). The family is divided into three subfamilies, Scenopininae, Caenotinae and Proratinae, although most window flies are placed in the subfamily Scenopininae with the rest being divided unevenly between Caenotinae and Proratinae. Caenotinae comprises a single genus, Caenotus Cole, with five species from the southwestern United States and Mexico (Cole 1923, Melander 1950, Nagatomi et al. 1994, Metz 2003). The subfamily Proratinae contains five genera: Prorates Melander, Caenotoides Hall and Acaenotus Nagatomi & Yanagida from North America, Jackhallia Nagatomi & Liu from Argentina and Alloxytropus Bezzi from the Palaearctic region (Melander 1906, Bezzi 1925, Hall 1972, Nagatomi et al. 1994). Recently an additional proratine-like genus, Cyrtosathe Winterton & Metz, was described from Namibia, representing a possibly intermediate taxon between the existing subfamilies (Winterton & Metz 2005). Prorates was originally described by Melander (1906) in Empididae and later placed in the subfamily Heterotropinae (Bombyliidae) (Melander 1928).
