Calyptratae: Diptera)
BUILDING THE TREE OF LIFE: RECONSTRUCTING THE EVOLUTION OF A RECENT AND MEGADIVERSE BRANCH (CALYPTRATAE: DIPTERA) SUJATHA NARAYANAN KUTTY (B.Tech) A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2008 The great tragedy of Science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact. - Thomas H. Huxley ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We don't accomplish anything in this world alone... and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one's life and all the weavings of individual threads from one to another that creates something - Sandra Day O'Connor. The completion of this project would have been impossible without help from so many different quarters and the few lines of gratitude and acknowledgements written out in this section would do no justice to the actual amount of support and encouragement that I have received and that has contributed to making this study a successful endeavor. I am indebted to Prof. Meier for motivating me to embark on my PhD (at a very confusing point for me) and giving me a chance to explore a field that was quite novel to me. I express my sincere gratitude to him for all the guidance, timely advice, pep talks, and support through all the stages of this project and for always being patient while dealing with my ignorance. He has also been very understanding during all my non- academic distractions in the last two years. Thanks Prof.- your motivation and inspiration in the five years of my graduate study has given me the confidence to push the boundaries of my own capabilities. -

Sensitivity analysis, molecular systematics and natural history evolution of Scathophagidae (Diptera: Cyclorrhapha: Calyptratae) Abstract The 60 000 described species of Cyclorrhapha are characterized by an unusual diversity in larval life-history traits, which range from saprophagy over phytophagy to parasitism and predation. However, the direction of evolutionary change between the different modes remains unclear. Here, we use the Scathophagidae (Diptera) for reconstructing the direction of change in this relatively small family ( 250 spp.) whose larval habits mirror the diversity in natural history found in Cyclorrhapha. We subjected a molecular data set for 63 species (22 genera) and DNA sequences from seven genes (12S, 16S, Cytb, COI, 28S, Ef1-alfa, Pol II) to an extensive sensitivity analysis and compare the performance of three different alignment strategies (manual, Clustal, POY). -

ZooKeys 441: 347–367. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.441.7142 Abstract A revised checklist of the Scathophagidae, Fanniidae and Muscidae recorded from Finland is presented. Phaonia amicula Villeneuve, 1922 is noted from Finland for the first time. Keywords Species list, Finland, Diptera, biodiversity, faunistics Introduction Four families make up the traditional superfamily Muscoidea: Scathophagidae, An- thomyiidae, Fanniidae and Muscidae. The monophyly of the superfamily has been strongly questioned (Nirmala et al. 2001, Kutty et al. 2010) on the basis of DNA sequence analyses. Three of the four families of Muscoidea are treated in this paper, the fourth (An- thomyiidae) is covered in a separate paper in this issue of ZooKeys. -

Poprzednia wersja z 2001 roku została poprawiona i uzupełniona, przez co obecnie uległa podwojeniu. Wykaz zawiera pozycje o muchówkach terenu Polski w obecnych granicach (musi być wymieniony określony gatunek muchówki) lub bardzo określony temat. Uwzględnione są także inne publikacje polskich dipterologów (poza zatrudnionymi w instytucjach zagranicznych) Tytuły w języku angielskim, francuskim i niemieckim nie są tłumaczone. Tytuły w innych językach (w przypadku języka polskiego po 1918) zaopatrzone są w tłumaczenie na język angielski, lub inny język w którym jest streszczenie publikacji. Chciałbym podziękować wszyskim polskim dipterologom za wkład w poznanie muchówek i liczne publikacje uwzględnione w Bibliografii. Moja żona, Halina Zatwarnicka pomagała w sprawdzaniu i uzupełnianiu literatury. The bibliography contains publications about polish Diptera and those of Polish dipterists published till 2011.

A catalogue of the species of the family Scathophagidae of the Palae- arctic region is given, including notes on their taxonomy, distribution data, and new faunistic records. Exact data on old localities of some species, including the current local names, are provided. The catalogue contains 37 genera and 220 valid species, 193 synonyms (including 25 new ones), and 12 doubtful species. The following new combinations are proposed: Amaurosoma truncatum (Fan, 1976), comb. nov., and Amaurosoma indotatum (Engelmark, 1999), comb. nov., from the genus Nanna Becker, 1894; Gimnomera alanica (Ozerov, 1999), comb. nov., Gimnomera tukuringa (Ozerov, 1999), comb. nov., Gimnomerra sibirica (Engelmark, 1999), comb. nov., and Gimnomera novgorodovae (Ozerov, 2006), comb. nov., from Cochliarium Becker, 1894; Norellisoma longiabdominum (Sun, 1992), comb. nov., Norellisoma triangulum (Sun, 1992), comb. nov., Norellisoma caucasicum (Ozerov, 1993), comb. nov., Norellisoma insulare (Ozerov, 1993), comb. nov., Norellisoma montanopratense (Ozerov, 1993), comb. nov., and Norel- lisoma orientale (Ozerov, 1993), comb. nov., from Norellia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830; Phrosia remmi (Elberg, 1972), comb. nov., from Cordilura Fallén, 1810. The following new synonyms are established: Acerocnema macrocera (Meigen, 1826) = Acerocnema obscuripes Becker, 1915, syn. nov.; Amaurosoma armil- latum (Zetterstedt,1846) = Amaurosoma mensuratum Becker, 1894, syn. nov; Amaurosoma fl avipes (Fallén, 1819) = Cordylura nigriventris Loew, 1864, syn. nov.; Amaurosoma tibiellum (Zetterstedt, 1838) = Amaurosoma nutans Becker, 1894, syn.
