Beitr. 50/2 1635-1655 17.12.2018 Annotated checklist of the family Scathophagidae (Diptera) in Central Europe, with new faunistics data on some species František ŠIFNER A b s t r a c t : Check-list of the family Scathophagidae has been compiled for the following Central European countries, and the following species numbers are given: Austria 69 species, Czech Republic 89 species, Germany 59 species, Hungary 40 species, Poland 67 species, Slovakia 64 species and Switzerland 46 species. Until 2017, 118 species in 42 genera are known from the Central Europe, i.e. approximately 70% of species known from Europe. Scathophaga analis (MEIGEN, 1826) is confirmed as valid species and one new synonymy is established, Scathophaga bohemiae ŠIFNER, 2000 syn. nov. = Scathophaga analis. New faunistic data from the Central Europe and from some other European countries are added, including the following new records: Mirekiana anthrax (SCHINER, 1864) from Montenegro, Cordilura umbrosa (LOEW, 1873) from Turkey, Norellisoma nervosum (MEIGEN, 1826) from Italy, and Scathophaga inquinata (MEIGEN, 1826) from Albania. K e y w o r d s : Diptera, Scathophagidae, taxonomy, faunistics, number of species, Centrale Europe, Palaearctic Region. Introduction Notes to the geological evolution and a geographic characteristics of Central Europe The whole Europe, and the Central Europe especially, passed a complicated geological and climatic changes in the course of evolution. In the first place the Mesozoic and Tertiary mountain-building processes, the Miocene marine transgression period and the continental Quaternaly glaciations during which the Scandinavia developed glacial cover extending into the Central Europe up to Sudeten and Carpathians.

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).

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.

Seventeen families are commonly found in freshwater wetlands, with Ephydridae, Chloropidae, Sciomyzidae, Sphaeroceridae, and Scathophagidae being among the most important in terms of population size and species richness. Difficulty with sampling cryptic larval habitats and species identification chal- lenges may account for the exclusion of acalyptrate and other dipterans from wetlands ecology studies. Large populations are facilitated by the high productivity of freshwater wetlands and the high intrinsic rate of increase characteristic of many species. Higher dipterans exist in all freshwater wetland types, are microhabitat selective, and play significant roles in food webs. The varied strategies for food acquisition and patterns of spatial and temporal distribution limit ecological overlap among the higher Diptera. CONTENTS Annu. Rev. Entomol. 2002.47:207-232.

  • Notes on a Nesting Aggregation of Digger Wasps in Seattle, Washington (Hymenoptera)
    THE WASMA NN JO URNAL OF BIOLOGY VoL. 3 1, No. 2 F ALL, 197 3 Notes on a Nesting Aggregation of Digger Wasps in Seattle, Washington (Hymenoptera) JOHN ALCOCK, Department of Zoology, Arizona Stat.e University, Tempe, Arizona 85281. In the summers of 1971 and 1972, I observed the nesting behavior of a group of digger wasps in a vacant lot near Union Bay, Lake Washington, in Seattle. The behavior of a majority of the species in this aggregation has not been described in detail before. The methods employed in this study were simple. I watched the main nesting area, a 10 m. portion of a path running through a grassy field by the edge of a large blackberry patch, for periods ranging from 1- 4 hours on most sunny days between July 17 and September 4, 197 1, and between June 2 and August 4, 1972. The path was less than 1 m. wide. It was weakly banked on either side and composed of sand patches with earth and pebbles elsewhere. Small grasses and a few weeds were scattered about the path with a dense mat of grasses and weeds on the sloping sides of the trail. The results are presented in the form of a list of the species observed nesting in the study site with a description of their natural history based on notes taken during and immediately after each observation period. POMPILIDAE Pompilus angularis ( Banks). Although this wasp was often seen about the path apparently hunting over the ground , only 1 nest was located. This was dug in an open area of hard-packed earth in the center of the path.

  • Insects of the Lake Erie Islands 2009
    INSECTS OF THE LAKE ERIE ISLANDS 2009 We have reported on many rare insects from the Lake Erie Islands, and maintained a complete list of identified specimens in the University of Guelph Insect Collection. Currently the Guelph collection houses close to 4800 specimen records from the Lake Erie Islands. Most of these are incorporated into an extensive BIOTA specimen database that was used to generate the species list attached below. Although the appended list, including over 800 species from the Lake Erie islands, are significant, many provincially and nationally significant insect species undoubtedly remain undocumented. We are continuing our tradition of building the baseline collection and associated electronic database as part of a continuing, albeit unfunded, inventory of the area. The list provided here was generated in 2009.

  • Diptera) in the World, with New Taxonomic Data, Notes on Some Species and New List of Species
    Linzer biol. Beitr. 52/2 1267-1306 Februar 2021 Annotated supplements to catalogues of the family Scathophagidae (Diptera) in the world, with new taxonomic data, notes on some species and new list of species Marco V. BERNASCONI & František ŠIFNER A b s t r a c t : The last catalogues of the species of the family Scathophagidae for the individual zoogeographical regions were published in the following years: for the Afrotropical Region in 1976; for the Nearctic Region in 1965; for the Neotropical Region in 1984 and, partly, in 2010; for the Oriental Region in 1977 and for Palaearctic Region in 2008. The changes or additions published since the last catalogue form four basic groups: (I) new genera described (5 in Nearctic Region, 1 in Oriental Region, 8 in Palaearctic Region), (II) new species described (4 in Nearctic Region, 4 in Oriental Region, and 51 in Palaearctic Region), (III) new established synonyms (2 in Afrotropical Region, 1 in Nearctic Region, 4 in Neotropical Region, 4 in Oriental Region, 22 in Palaearctic Region), and (IV) new proposed combinations (1 in Afrotropical Region, 6 in Nearctic Region, 3 in Neotropical Region, 14 in Palaearctic Region). K e y w o r d s : Diptera, Scathophagidae, taxonomy, zoogeographical regions, distribution, catalogue. Introduction The knowledge on the species of the family Scathophagidae is summarised in the catalogues dealing with the fauna of the individual zoogeographical regions. The following catalogues were published in the last fifty years: VOCKEROTH (1980) for the Afrotropical Region, VOCKEROTH (1965) for the Nearctic Region, ALBUQUERQUE (1984) and VOCKEROTH (2010) for the Neotropical Region, VOCKEROTH (1977) for the Oriental Region, and GORODKOV (1986) and ŠIFNER (2008) for the Palaearctic Region.
