Natur und Heimat, 75. Jahrg., Heft 3, 2015 Die Fliegenfauna (Diptera, Brachycera) eines Feldrains in Kirchhellen (Nordrhein-Westfalen) vor 30 Jahren Jürgen Danielzik (Bottrop) Einleitung Über nordrhein-westfälische Fliegen sind in den letzten 10 bis 20 Jahren einige Arbeiten erschienen, die den Erforschungsstand über unsere Fliegen fauna wesentlich verbessert haben. Zu nennen sind hier in erster Linie die zahlreichen Arbeiten von DREES (z. B. 1999, 2007/2008, 2011, 2012, 2013) über die Hagener Dipterenfauna, von WoLFF (2005) über die Asiliden in NRW und von FREUNDT et al. (2005) über die Syrphidenfauna NRWs. Einige andere Arbeiten seien noch erwähnt, die die Dipterenfauna von Naturschutz gebieten (DREES 2003a, 2003b), eines Biotops (FREUNDT, 1999), und von Kiesgruben und einem Vorstadtgarten (TscHORSNIG, 1996) zum Inhalt ha ben. In allen o. g. Arbeiten betrachten die Autoren jeweils die Arten einer Fa milie, etwa der Musciden (DREES 2007/2008), Syrphiden (FREUNDT, 1999), Tachinidae (TSCHORSNIG 1996), während Arbeiten über die Dipterengemein schaft an einem Feldrain oder ähnlichen ruderalen Vegetationsbeständen (Straßenränder, Ödländer) mir aus der einschlägigen Literatur nicht bekannt sind. Beteiligt an der Fliegenfauna des hier vorgestellten Feldrains in Kirch hellen (Stadt Bottrop, MTB 4407) waren mindestens 82 Arten aus 24 Flie genfamilien. Die Bearbeitung historischer Dipterenaufsammlungen bringt, wie die Arbeiten von DUNK (1993) und ZIEGLER & MENZEL (2000) belegen, für die faunistische Erforschung eines Landes oder Großraumes wichtige Er gebnisse. Die hier vorgelegte Arbeit basiert auf Aufsammlungen aus den 80er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Ergebnisse stellen einen interessan ten Beitrag zur Fliegenfauna Westfalens dar, da sie Vertreter aus zahl reichen Fliegenfamilien berücksichtigten. Der Feldrain (Ortsbeschreibung, Flora und Vegetation) Der Feldrain liegt in Nordrhein-Westfalen (NRW) im Raum zwischen Lippe und Emscher ca.

Of the Vitosha Mountain
Historia naturalis bulgarica 26: 1–66 ISSN 0205-3640 (print) | ISSN 2603-3186 (online) • http://www.nmnhs.com/historia-naturalis-bulgarica/ publication date [online]: 17 May 2018 The Dipterans (Insecta: Diptera) of the Vitosha Mountain Zdravko Hubenov Abstract. A total of 1272 two-winged species that belong to 58 families has been reported from theVitosha Mt. The Tachinidae (208 species or 16.3%) and Cecidomyiidae (138 species or 10.8%) are the most numerous. The greatest number of species has been found in the mesophylic and xeromesophylic mixed forests belt (707 species or 55.6%) and in the northern part of the mountain (645 species or 50.7%). The established species belong to 83 areographical categories. The dipterous fauna can be divided into two main groups: 1) species with Mediterranean type of distribution (53 species or 4.2%) – more thermophilic and distributed mainly in the southern parts of the Palaearctic; seven species of southern type, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it, can be formally related to this group as well; 2) species with Palaearctic and Eurosiberian type of distribution (1219 species or 95.8%) – more cold-resistant and widely distributed in the Palaearctic; 247 species of northern type, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it, can be formally related to this group as well. The endemic species are 15 (1.2%). The distribution of the species according to the zoogeographical categories in the vegetation belts and the distribution of the zoogeographical categories in each belt are considered. The dipteran fauna of the Vitosha Mt. is compared to this of the Rila and Pirin Mountains.

Invertebrate Report 2018
An Inventory of Invertebrates recorded from Three Hagges Wood-meadow During 2018 Cercopis vulnerata Black-and-red Froghopper [a bug] adult Lithophane ornitopus Grey-shoulder Knot [a moth] adult Ochlodes sylvanus Large Skipper [a butterfly] male Leucozona lucorum [a hoverfly] female A Report to Hagge Woods Trust by Andrew Grayson The Author is a lifelong amateur naturalist who has been a professional invertebrate specialist since 2009. He has been involved with invertebrate studies at Three Hagges Wood-meadow since 2014, when the site was then known as Three Hagges Jubilee Wood, and has been very pleased to be associated with The Wood Meadow Project and the wonderful group of people involved in management of the Three Hagges Wood-meadow site. This association was responsible for his nomination for the Gilbert White Adult Award at the 2018 UK Awards for Biological Recording and Information Sharing held in Nottingham, where he was honoured to make the final shortlist, and for his appearance in the BBC Wildlife Magazine. These were both unexpected achievements. Andrew very much looks forward to being involved with studies at Three Hagges Wood-meadow during 2019. These will not be on the scale of the studies of the past five years, but hopefully will continue to provide useful invertebrate records, including some interesting and unexpected species, as has been the case since 2014. Andrew Grayson at Three Hagges Wood-meadow Invertebrates on the Front Cover Cercopis vulnerata Black-and-red Froghopper [a bug] Single examples of this small but conspicuous and distinctive bug have been seen roughly half-way along the A19 Strip (Area 12) every year since 2014.

Some of the Most Important Invertebrates in the Lye Valley SSSI
Some of the most important invertebrates in the Lye Valley SSSI & LWS areas including mostly fens (old Hogley Bog) J A Webb 2015 This species list includes a large number of common invertebrates. These are just the ones that are scarce-to-rare locally or nationally and thus of conservation concern. Many remain as yet unidentified. Note that proper surveys for moths and beetles have not yet been carried out, so there will be more important species to add to these groups.

The position of the earthworm-parasitizing Polleniinae (Calliphoridae s.l.) as sister to Tachinidae is Host use strongly supported. Our analyses recovered each of the four tachinid subfamilies and most recognized tribes, Oestroidea with some important exceptions in the Dexiinae and Tachininae. Most notably, the tachinine tribes Macquartiini Diversification and Myiophasiini form a clade sister to all other Tachinidae, and a clade of Palpostomatini is reconstructed as Ancestral state reconstruction sister to Dexiinae + Phasiinae. Although most nodes are well-supported, relationships within several lineages that appear to have undergone rapid episodes of diversification (basal Dexiinae and Tachininae, Blondeliini) were poorly resolved.

Tachinid Flies (Diptera, Tachinidae) of Warsaw and Mazovia
POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES • INSTITUTE OF ZOOLOGY MEMORABILIA ZOOLOGICA MEMORABILIA ZOOL. 35 141— 162 14SI AGNIESZKA DRABER-MOŃKO TACHINID FLIES (.DIPTERA, TACHINIDAE) OF WARSAW AND MAZO VIA ABSTRACT The Tachinidae of the Mazovian Lowland (285 species) account for 65% of the total number of species occurring in Poland. In Warsaw 164 species occur, including 123 in the suburbs, and 107 in urban green areas, the latter being subdivided into parks (90 species), green areas of housing estates (30 species) and the centre of the town (47 species). Such groups are represented by the highest number of species as parasitoids of lepidopterans and beetles, with high ecological amplitudes, and also polyphages with large geographical ranges (Palaearctic and Euro-Siberian). INTRODUCTION Flies of,the family Tachinidae are poorly known both in Poland and in the whole Palaearctic. Tachinid flies of Mazovia and Warsaw have not been extensively studied so far. From Warsaw 42 species were known [2, 8, 11]. At present 164 species have been recorded in Warsaw. From the Mazovian Lowland, 85 species have been recorded so far, including 23 species listed by Sznabl [11], nine species listed by Wiąckow- ski [13. 15]. three species quoted by Miczulski and Koślińska [7], and single species quoted by Kuntze [5], Pawłowicz [10], Koehler [4]. Szujecki [12], and the other species by Draber-Mońko [2,8]. At present 285 ta,chinid flies are known from the Mazovian Lowland. The objective of the work was to establish the species composition of tachinid flies living in the Mazovian Lowland and Warsaw, and to analyse their geographical distribution and ecology.

Report Number 512 A review of the invertebrates associated with lowland calcareous grassland English Nature Research Reports working today for nature tomorrow English Nature Research Reports Number 512 A review of the invertebrates associated with lowland calcareous grassland Dr K N A Alexander April 2003 You may reproduce as many additional copies of this report as you like, provided such copies stipulate that copyright remains with English Nature, Northminster House, Peterborough PE1 1UA ISSN 0967-876X © Copyright English Nature 2003 Acknowledgements Thanks are due to Jon Webb for initiating this project and Dave Sheppard for help in its progression. Each draft species table was circulated amongst a number of invertebrate specialists for their reactions and additional data. Comments on the Coleoptera table were received from Jonty Denton, Tony Drane, Andrew Duff, Andy Foster, Peter Hodge, Pete Kirby, Derek Lott, Mike Morris; Hemiptera from Jonty Denton, Pete Kirby and Alan Stewart; Hymenoptera from Michael Archer, Graham Collins, Mike Edwards, and Andy Foster; spiders from Peter Harvey, David Nellist and Rowley Snazell; moths from Andy Foster and Mark Parsons. Summary This report brings together a considerable amount of information on the species composition of the invertebrate fauna of lowland calcareous grasslands, and is aimed at helping field workers and site managers to obtain a broader understanding of the extent and importance of the fauna. It concentrates on the species most closely associated with the habitat type and provides preliminary assessments of their habitat fidelity, the importance of habitat continuity, and their microhabitat preferences. Many factors influence the composition of the fauna of calcareous grasslands.
