The Problem of Old Names As Illustrated by Brachyopa The problem of old names as illustrated by Brachyopa "conica<<s Panzer", with a synopsis of PalaearcticBrachyopa Meigen (Diptera: Syrphidae). F. CHRISTIAN THOMPSON Thompson, F. C: The problem of old names as illustrated by Brachyopa "conica Panzer", Ent. scand. with a synopsis of Palaearctic Brachyopa Meigen (Diptera: Syrphidae). Ent. scand. 11: 209-216. Lund, Sweden 7 July 1980. ISSN 0013-8711. Brachyopa conica Panzer is a name that appears commonly in works on European Syrphi- dae. The name is invalid and has been incorrectly applied to at least three different species. The valid name for this species is panzeri Goffe and applies to an as yet unrecognized species. The occurrence and solution of similar taxonomic and nomenclatural problems are discussed. A key to the Palaearctic species of Brachyopa is given. Brachyopa maculipennis Thompson, nov. nomen, is proposed for arcuata Panzer. F. C. Thompson, Syst. Ent. Lab., SEA, USDA, c/o U.S. Nat. Mus. NHB-168, Washing- ton, D.C. 20560 USA.

Four species are omitted as they need to be described in the context of a revision (three Cheilosia and a Palpada species) and three other species (one Neoascia and two Xylota) will be described by F. Christian Thompson in a planned publication. Six of the new species have been recognised for decades and were treated by J. Richard Vockeroth in unpublished notes or by Thompson in his unpublished but widely distributed "A conspectus of the flower flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) of the Nearctic Region". Five of the 11 species were discovered during the preparation of the Field Guide. Eight of the 11 have DNA barcodes available that support the morphology. New information New species treated in this paper include: Anasimyia diffusa Locke, Skevington and Vockeroth (Smooth-legged Swamp Fly), Anasimyia matutina Locke, Skevington and This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the CC0 Public Domain Dedication.

Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) provide crucial ecological services and are increasingly used as bioindicators in environ- mental assessment studies. Information is available for a wide range of life history traits at the species level for most Syrphidae but little is recorded about the environmental requirements of forest hoverflies at the stand scale. The aim of this study was to explore whether the structural heterogeneity of a stand influences species richness or abundance of hoverflies in a montane beech-fir forest. We used the catches of Malaise traps set in 2004 and 2007 in three stands in the French Pyrenees, selected to represent a wide range of structural heterogeneity in terms of their vertical structure, tree diversity, deadwood and tree-microhabitats.

PREFACE Eight years ago the author of the present work published a small volume in which he attempted to tabulate the families and more important genera of the diptera of the United States. From the use that has been made of that work by etitomological students, he has been encouraged to believe that the labor of its preparation was not in vain. The extra- ordinary activity in the investigation of our dipterological fauna within the past few years has, however, largely destroy- ed its usefulness, and it is hoped that this new edition, or rather this new work, will prove as serviceable as has been the former one. In the present work there has been an at- tempt to include all the genera now known from north of South America. While the Central and West Indian faunas are preeminently of the South American type, there are doubt- less many forms occurring in tlie southern states that are at present known only from more southern regions. In the preparation of the work the author has been aided by the examination, so far as he was able, of extensive col- lections from the West Indies and Central America submitted to him for study by Dr.

  • The Syrphid Genera Hammerschmidtia and Brachyopa in Canada
    THE SYRPHID GENERA HAMMERSCHMIDTIA AND BRACHYOPA IN CANADA. By C. HOWARD CURRAN, Orillia, Ontario. In presenting the present paper the author must offer apologies for its evident incompleteness, as it has been found impossible in the short time available to complete the drawings so necessary to illustrate the distinctive characters in a genus Downloaded from which is evidently somewhat confusing. A paper on the genus Sphegina was practically completed, with the necessary drawings, when it was learned that Dr. C. L. Metcalf already had a paper prepared on this genus, and it was therefore decided to review the genera indicated in the title, in so far http://aesa.oxfordjournals.org/ as they are known in North America, with especial reference to the Canadian species. According to my observations it is essential, in dealing with the majority of genera of SyrPhidce which occur in Canada, to include practically all the North American species, in any d~scussion which relates to their classification. For this reason the scope of the present paper is larger than the title may indicate. by guest on March 23, 2016 Both Ilammerschmidtia and Brachyopa, as genera, cannot be looked upon as well represented in most collections, although it seems that none of the species can be regarded as actually rare, and are, with the exception of B. gigas, probably of general distribution, and occur over the greater part of the United States and Canada. In Ontario I have records of six species of Brar:hyopa and one species of IIammerschmidtia. While the genitalia are not discussed in the present paper, they have been studied, and in every case bear out the apparent specific limitations.
