Karen A. Johnson iii iv Abstract Relationships between plants and their pollinators are thought to have played a major role in the morphological diversification of angiosperms. The epacrids (subfamily Styphelioideae) comprise more than 550 species of woody plants ranging from small prostrate shrubs to temperate rainforest emergents. Their range extends from SE Asia through Oceania to Tierra del Fuego with their highest diversity in Australia. The overall aim of the thesis is to determine the relationships between epacrid floral features and potential pollinators, and assess the evolutionary status of any pollination syndromes. The main hypotheses were that flower characteristics relate to pollinators in predictable ways; and that there is convergent evolution in the development of pollination syndromes.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

  • 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.

  • Relationships of Extant Lower Brachycera (Diptera): a Quantitative Synthesis of Morphological Characters
    ZSC_077.fm Page 105 Friday, January 18, 2002 2:09 PM RelationshipsBlackwell Science Ltd of extant lower Brachycera (Diptera): a quantitative synthesis of morphological characters DAVID K. YEATES Accepted: 29 July 2001 Yeates, D. K. (2002). Relationships of extant lower Brachycera (Diptera): a quantitative syn- thesis of morphological characters. — Zoologica Scripta, 31, 105–121. With over 80 000 described species, Brachycera represent one of the most diverse clades of organisms with a Mesozoic origin. Larvae of the majority of early lineages are detritivores or carnivores. However, Brachycera are ecologically innovative and they now employ a diverse range of feeding strategies. Brachyceran relationships have been the subject of numerous qual- itative analyses using morphological characters. These analyses are often based on characters from one or a few character systems and general agreement on relationships has been elusive. In order to understand the evolution of basal brachyceran lineages, 101 discrete morpholog- ical characters were scored and compiled into a single data set. Terminals were scored at the family level, and the data set includes characters from larvae, pupae and adults, internal and external morphology, and male and female terminalia. The results show that all infraorders of Brachycera are monophyletic, but there is little evidence for relationships between the infraorders. Stratiomyomorpha, Tabanomorpha, and Xylophagomorpha together form the sister group to Muscomorpha. Xylophagomorpha and Tabanomorpha are sister groups. Within Muscomorpha, the paraphyletic Nemestrinoidea form the two most basal lineages. There is weak evidence for the monophyly of Asiloidea, and Hilarimorphidae appear to be more closely related to Eremoneura than other muscomorphs. Apsilocephalidae, Scenopini- dae and Therevidae form a clade of Asiloidea.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] 2Instituto de Entomología, Facultad de Ciencias Básicas, Universidad Ciencias de la Educación, Santiago, Chile. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The New World species of the genus Pelecorhynchus Macquart, all of which are only known from Chile, are revised. Two new species are described, Pelecorhynchus hualqui sp. nov. and Pelecorhynchus toltensis sp. nov. All nine New World species in the genus are redescribed and illustrated, and a key to the species is provided. Key words: Tabanomorpha, Taxonomy, Neotropical, new species, Chile Introduction The taxonomic placement of the genus Pelecorhynchus has a complicated history. The genus was established by Macquart (1850) for an Australian species, Pelecorhynchus maculipennis Macquart, 1850. This species was synonymized under P. personatus (Walker, 1848), which was originally described as a member of the genus Silvius Meigen (Tabanidae). Subsequently, Pelecorhynchus species were placed in the Tabanidae, within their own subfamily created by Enderlein (1922), the Pelecorhynchinae. Pelecorhynchus remained in the Tabanidae until Mackerras & Fuller (1942) elevated the group to family rank.

  • (Diptera). I Diagnoseso F the Family
    452 Proc. Japan Acad., 51 (1975) [Vol. 51, 96. Definition of Coenomyitidae (Diptera). I Diagnoseso f the Family By Akira NAGATOMI Entomological Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Kagoshima University (Comm. by Sajiro MAKINO, M. J. A., June 3, 1975) The purpose of this paper is to establish the definition of the Coenomyiidae. Hennig (1967) stated that "Fur die Coenomyiidae sind dagegen bisher keine abgeleiteten Merkmale angegeben worden", and Oldroyd (1969) wrote that ".. , a number of primitive genera, in various regions of the world, cannot satisfactorily be allocated to any of the larger families. The simplest solution is to assemble all these genera into one family, Coenomyiidae, while recognizing that this is not necessarily a natural unit." Nagatomi and Saigusa (1970) , who revised the Coenomyiidae of Japan, put the genera Glutops and Pseudoerinna into the Coenomyii- dae, while Tesky (1970a) treated Glutops as one of the Pelecorhyn- chidae and Krivosheina (1971) erected a new family Glutopidae for Glutops. 1t is shown in this series of papers that Bequaertomyia is noth- ing but a synonym of Pseudoerinna; Dialysis is a true member of Coenomyiidae ; and Glutops and Pseudoerinna (=Bequaertomyia) seem to be ancestral among the Rhagionidae. Bequaertomyia was diversely placed in the Tabanidae, Pelecorhynchidae, or Coenomyii- dae, and Dialysis was always placed in the Rhagionidae. It is concluded that the family Coenomyiidae consisting of the genera Coenomyia, Anacanthaspis, Art hropeas, Odontosabula (=Stratioleptis), and Dialysis (= Triptotricha) is homogeneous or monophyletic. This conclusion is based on the result of my study given below. The Coenomyiidae contain the five genera just mentioned and are characterized as follows : Head : (1) mid-lower face roughly triangular in shape, not swollen but flat, and plate-like, that is to say, with the margin more or less turned up and continued around below palpus and proboscis (Fig.
