Crane flies are the most diverse group within Diptera, but they are rarely studied in coastal ecosystems. Considering the scarcity of information on the biology and ecology of this group in the Neotropics, and the sparse literature available for taxonomic identification, we developed a descriptive checklist that incorporates morphology and DNA barcoding. We also created a generic identification key for crane flies of southern Brazilian salt marshes. We sampled crane flies continuously at three areas along the Patos Lagoon salt marshes over one year. A total of 14 genera/subgenera, 6 species, and 12 morphotypes belonging to Limoniidae and Tipulidae were identified. Distribution ranges ofSymplecta cana (Walker, 1848) and two Ormosia Rondani, 1856 species were expanded. mtDNA COI sequences were compared to the BOLD and NCBI databases, but were matched only at the family level. Therefore, we provided sequences to both platforms, updated to the genus level.

  • The Craneflies of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55)
    LEICESTERSHIRE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Craneflies of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55) John Kramer* Tipula maxima – Graham Calow LESOPS 26 (2011) ISSN 0957 - 1019 *31 Ash Tree Road, Oadby, Leicester LE2 5TE 1 Introduction It is necessary to say at the outset that, since craneflies are not a scientific group, its meaning has changed over the years. It seems to be synonymous with daddy long-legs , meaning all long-legged two-winged flies. These, in the past, have included Winter Gnats (Trichoceridae) Fold-winged flies (Ptychopteridae) and Dixidae. The present meaning, used here, is restricted to the super-family Tipuloidea (Order Diptera) which, for the past 20 years (Starý 1992), has been composed of four families - Tipulidae, Pediciidae, Cylindrotomidae and Limoniidae. I have tried to provide a firm basis for further work on craneflies in VC55, and to suggest what that work might be. There are voucher specimens for most, though not all, of the records and wherever there is only a single record, more records are needed to firmly establish that species on the county list. Pioneering work in Europe Before any meaningful lists of craneflies could be produced it was necessary to have fixed and unambiguous names for them. The genus-species naming system for doing this was first provided for the then-known craneflies by the 1758 volume of Linnaeus’s Systemae Naturae , published in Sweden, so this date provides a starting-point. Linnaeus named 14 of the more conspicuous craneflies on the British Checklist. Johan Christian Fabricius was a student of Linnaeus and did more work than his mentor on insects.

  • Keys for the Identification of the Tipuloidea (Insecta, Diptera) Recorded for the Canary Islands
    Eos, t. LXIII, págs. 73-92 (1987). Keys for the identification of the Tipuloidea (Insecta, Diptera) recorded for the Canary Islands. BY HERMAN DE JONG INTRODUCTION. The Tipuloidea in the conception of the present paper comprise the nemato- cerous families Cylindrotomidae, Limoniidae and Tipulidae. Flies belonging to these families are distinguished from the remainder of Diptera by the presence of two anal veins in the wing and the absence of ocelli. Of the three families belon- ging to the Tipuloidea representatives of the Limoniidae and Tipulidae are known to occur in the Canary Islands (fig. 1). The keys presented here cover the species usted by THEOWALD (1977) for the Canary Islands with additions and corrections given by THEISCHINGER (1979) and THEOWALD (1981). The historical development of the knowledge of Canarian Ti- puloidea is reviewed by THEOWALD (1977) who also gives a comprehensive list of references. It seems that the fauna of the central islands La Palma, Gomera, Tenerife and Gran Canaria is rather well known, while that of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote is still insufficiently explored. There are no records of Tipuloidea for Hierro. As it is not unlikely that hitherto unrecorded species will be found in the Canary Islands details of the male genitalia of all species included in the keys are illustrated to facilitate comparison. Drawings of genital structures were made af- ter macerated specimens. / o 67 1) : 0 0 LA? ANZ 0 <2,1 GOA GRAN , Fig. 1.—Map showing position of Canary Islands.

    CHECK LIST OF TIPULIDAE OF OCEANIA By CHARLES P. ALEXANDER BERNICE P.

Ar,EXANDER MASSACHUSETTS STATE COLLEGE DISTRIBUTION The Oceanic islands here considered are Hawaii, the Galapagos, Juan Fernandez, the Marquesas, Society Islands, Austral Islands, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, New Hebrides, New Caledonia, Solomon Islands, Marshall Islands, Caroline Islands, and the Marianas, to­ ge~er with a multitude of small and isolated islands within the same circumference. Islands and groups of islands lying as immedi­ ate satellites of great land masses, as New Guinea with New Britain and certain smaller islands, Australia with Lord Howe and Norfolk islands, and New Zealand with the Kermadec, Chatham, and Sub­ antarctic islands, are omitted. The inclusion of Australia and New Zealand would add nearly 1,200 species of Tipulidae to the present list. New Guinea is still so insufficiently known as regards its tipulid fauna that any indication of its possibilities would be surmise only. It was formerly believed that the crane fly fauna of the more remote Pacific islands was greatly reduced in number of species. This statement still seems· to hold true for the lowlands, but the higher mountains of many of the islands are now known to support a relatively rich tipulid fauna that is entirely endemic. The table shows the generic and subgeneric distribution in five groups of islands that are somewhat better known than the others: HAWAII MARQUESAS SA~lOA Ctenacroscelis h.
