F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera
F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera Bibliography Thompson, F. C, Evenhuis, N. L. & Sabrosky, C. W. The following bibliography gives full references to 2,982 works cited in the catalog as well as additional ones cited within the bibliography. A concerted effort was made to examine as many of the cited references as possible in order to ensure accurate citation of authorship, date, title, and pagination. References are listed alphabetically by author and chronologically for multiple articles with the same authorship. In cases where more than one article was published by an author(s) in a particular year, a suffix letter follows the year (letters are listed alphabetically according to publication chronology). Authors' names: Names of authors are cited in the bibliography the same as they are in the text for proper association of literature citations with entries in the catalog. Because of the differing treatments of names, especially those containing articles such as "de," "del," "van," "Le," etc., these names are cross-indexed in the bibliography under the various ways in which they may be treated elsewhere. For Russian and other names in Cyrillic and other non-Latin character sets, we follow the spelling used by the authors themselves. Dates of publication: Dating of these works was obtained through various methods in order to obtain as accurate a date of publication as possible for purposes of priority in nomenclature. Dates found in the original works or by outside evidence are placed in brackets after the literature citation. -

On the basis of long-term data (2007-2018), the fauna of robber flies (Asilidae) of the Republic of Mordovia was studied. Taking into account our own and literary data, 35 species of robber flies from 18 genera were noted. Of them, 19 species were noticed in the Republic of Mordovia for the first time. We presented the photos of morphological traits of Choerades fuliginosa (Panzer 1798), Choerades gilva (Linnaeus 1758), Choerades ignea (Meigen 1820), Laphria gibbosa (Linnaeus 1758), Andrenosoma albibarbe (Meigen 1820), Andrenosoma atra (Linnaeus 1758), Didysmachus picipes (Meigen 1820), Dysmachus stylifer (Loew 1854), Pamponerus germanicus (Linnaeus 1758), Philonicus albiceps (Meigen 1820), Machimus gonatistes (Zeller 1840), Neoitamus cothurnatus (Meigen 1820), Neoitamus cyanurus (Loew 1849), Dioctria atricapilla (Meigen 1804), Leptogaster cylindrica (De Geer 1776).

NUMBER 1847 NOVEMBER 8, 1957 The Asilidae of the Bahama Islands, with the Description of Two New Species (Diptera) BY CHARLES H. MARTIN' Curran has reported (1951, Amer. Mus. Novitates, no. 1507; 1953, ibid., no. 1644) previous collections of Asilidae taken in the British West Indies by American Museum expeditions. The American Mu- seum, through Dr. Curran, has kindly extended to the present writer the privilege of examining additional material collected on the Ba- hama Islands by an American Museum expedition in 1953. Also the writer appreciates the loan by the American Museum of the holotypes of Leptogaster lerneri Curran and Beameromyia floridensis (Johnson) for a comparative study of their characters. The present paper describes two new species of Leptogastrinae and presents a list of the Asilidae now known from the Bahama Islands. The types of the new species are deposited in the American Museum of Natural History collection. Apachekolos acus, new species The dorsal arms of the bifid gonoforceps of the male of this species taper to a sharp point; in the four species of Apachekolos of which the males are known, the dorsal arms are truncate. Also, recumbent hair on the abdomen is more sparse than on other species. MALE: Length, 6 mm.

New Canadian Records of Asilidae (Diptera) from an Endangered Ontario Ecosystem
1999 THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST 257 NEW CANADIAN RECORDS OF ASILIDAE (DIPTERA) FROM AN ENDANGERED ONTARIO ECOSYSTEM Jeffrey H. Skevington 1,2 ABSTRACT The Asilidae (Diptera) of Bosanquet (northern Lambton County, Ontario) are surveyed. Forty-one species are recorded. Twelve species are .published for the first time from Canada: Atomosia puella, Cerotainia albipilosa, Cero tainia macrocera, Holcocephala calva, Holopogon (HolopogonJ oriens, Laphria canis, Laphria divisor, Laphria grossa, Lasiopogon opaculus, Machimus notatus, Machimus sadyates, and Neomochtherus auricomus. These species plus the following four are new to Ontario: Laphystia jlavipes, Lasiopogon tetragrammus, Machimus novaescotiae, and Proctacanthella ca copiloga. Lambton County, on the southeastern shore of Lake Huron in Ontario, is a unique part of the Great Lakes Region. The coastal dunes and oak savan nas of this large (91 k.m long by 66 km wide; 299,645 ha) county support a wealth of plants and animals found nowhere else in Ontario (Bakowsky 1990, Lindsay 1982, Schweitzer 1984, Schweitzer 1993). This area is a col lage of unusual and threatened habitats that include coastal sand dunes with associated cedar savanna and wet meadows, the largest remaining frag ments ofoak savanna in eastern Canada, and lush floodplain forests contain ing plants characteristic of the Carolinian Life Zone. As a result, the insect fauna is diverse and unusual. To date, little has been published summarizing the insect diversity of Lambton County. Species lists can be patched together from general publica tions and revisions, but do not provide thorough base-line information on the biodiversity of the area. Skevington and Carmichael (1997) summarized the Odonata fauna of the area, and there is some information on Lepidoptera (e.g. -
Quantitative Field Surveys for the Selection of Biological Control
Quantitative field surveys for the selection of biological control agents for Genista monspessulana, based on host range and efficacy assessment Andy Sheppard and Thierry Thomann1 Summary Surveys for potential biological control agents of weeds provide opportunities to collect detailed quan- titative data on the community structure of phytophagous species associated with particular plant species and their close relatives. Such studies are still few and far between, but offer increased under- standing of assemblage rules of species with different degrees of host-plant specialization and the numbers and abundances of species in different feeding guilds. Including a range of closely related host plants also allows comparison of natural enemy community structure across similar host-plant species with different local abundances and regional distributions. When such surveys also measure agent impact, they allow agent selection to be based on efficacy as well as specificity. The preliminary results of quantitative surveys of natural enemy communities on species in the tribe Genisteae, particularly Genista monspessulana (French, Montpellier or Cape broom), around the Mediterranean, are presented. Sampling consisted of fixed beating-tray samples on up to ten individual flowering plants per site. Seed pods were also collected from the plants when they matured, and then dissected to quan- tify attack and abundance of seed feeders. Insects collected were sorted to species, and counted and analyzed for species diversity by site and region. Sample sites were selected based on the co-occurrence of two to several host-plant species to allow comparison of host use and abundance. Analysis of the preliminary results is discussed together with the value of quantitative field surveys in biological weed control. -
