  • Diptera: Syrphidae) with Notes on the Placement of the Subfamily by F
    A NEW GENUS OF MICRODONTINE FLIES (DIPTERA: SYRPHIDAE) WITH NOTES ON THE PLACEMENT OF THE SUBFAMILY BY F. CHRISTIAN THOMPSON I discovered the following new genus of Syrphidae while reviewing the Neotropical Microdontinae. I had planned to put aside its de- scription until my study of the subfamily was finished. However, publication of a second species, assignable to it by van Doesburg (1966) has necessitated publishing a name now for this genus so that it can be included in the Catalog of South American Diptera. Paragodon, new genus Very small (4-5 mm.) microdontine flies. Face simple (slightly produced in paragoides); cheeks absent, eyes bordering on the oral opening; eyes dichoptic in both sexes; occiput evenly developed. An- tennae short, about one-half as long as face; aristae short and thick- ened. Thorax about as long as broad; pleura bare except mesopleura pilose and meta.pleura with microscopic, pile; scutellum without apical spines and fringe; metasterna undeveloped and bare; metathoracic spiracles without hair fringes. Legs simple, with no basal setal patches on the femora and with cicatrices only on the hind femora. Vings without the spurious vein, with all apical crossveins straight. Abdomen oval, lateral margins slightly emarginate and rolled under ventrally, with ISt sternite bare and st spiracles without hair fringes. Genitalia simple; ejaculatory apodeme simple, apical por- tion not triangularly flared; ejaculato.ry sac not sclerotized; ejacula- tory process single, short, not posteriorly fused to ejaculatory hood; ejaculatory hood with anterior ventral portion elongate; sustentacu- lar apodeme present, double, fused anteriorly to base of ejaculatory Contribution no. 1392 from the Systematics and Morphology Research Laboratory, Department of Entomology, University of Massachusetts.

Author: Reemer, Menno Title: Unravelling a hotchpotch : phylogeny and classification of the Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) Issue Date: 2012-03-13 7 Review and phylogenetic evaluation of associations between Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) and ants (Hymeno- ptera: Formicidae) Abstract. The immature stages of hoverflies of the subfamily Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) are known to develop in ants nests, as predators of the ant brood. The present paper reviews published and unpublished records of associations of Microdontinae with ants, in order to discuss the following questions: 1. are alle Microdontinae associated with ants?; 2. are Microdontinae associated with all ants?; 3. are particular clades of Microdontinae associated with particular clades of ants? A total number of 103 records of associations between the groups are evaluated, relating to 42 species of Microdontinae belonging to 14 (sub)genera, and to 58 species of ants belonging to 23 genera and four subfamilies. Known associations are mapped onto the most recent phylogenetic hypotheses of both ants and Microdontinae. The taxa of Microdontinae found in association with ants appear to occur scattered throughout their phylogenetic tree, and one of the supposedly most basal taxa (Mixogaster) is known to be associated with ants. This suggests that associations with ants evolved early in the history of the subfamily, and have remained a predominant feature of their lifestyle. When considering the phylogeny of ants, associations with Microdontinae are only known from the subfamilies Dolichoderinae, Formicinae, Myrmicinae and Pseudomyrmecinae, which are all part of the the so-called ‘formicoid’ clade.

C. 20013-7012 USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new genus and species of flower flies is described from China (Furcantenna Cheng, type F. yangi Cheng). Another new genus is proposed for the Afrotropical species incorrectly placed in Ceratophya, Afromicrodon Thompson, type Microdon johannae Doesburg. A key is provided to the groups of the Subfamily Microdontinae, along with a checklist of genus-group names proposed within the subfamily and nomenclatural and taxonomic notes on them. Key words: Taxonomy, Syrphidae, Microdontinae, key, China, Afrotropics Introduction Microdontine flies are an unusual group among the flower flies. The adults are rarely encountered as they do not go to flowers and remain close to their breeding sites. The known larvae are predators of ant brood, and, hence, found in ant nests (Andries 1912, Duffield 1981). Adults are found commonly around those nests and do not range far from them. Normally microdontine flies are rare in Malaise and other kind of traps, but if the trap is close to ant nests, then adults can be abundant in the trap samples.

    Tijdschrift voor Entomologie 157 (2014) 27–57 brill.com/tve A review of Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) of Surinam, with a key to the Neotropical genera Menno Reemer The fauna of Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) of Surinam is reviewed, based on a recent field survey by the author and a re-evaluation of previously collected material, mostly deposited in the RMNH collection (Leiden). A key to all 28 Neotropical genera of the subfamily is given. A total number of 42 species belonging to 13 genera are recorded from Surinam. Habitus photographs of all species are given. Compared with the checklist of Van Doesburg (1966), 24 species are added and five are removed. The following new species are described: Domodon peperpotensis sp. n., Microdon (Microdon) colakriki sp. n., Peradon satyricus sp. n. and Peradon sciarus sp. n. Five possibly new species are left unnamed, pending revisionary work of the species groups they belong to. A neotype is designated for Aphritis angustus Macquart, 1846. The following new synonymies are proposed: Microdon instabilis Wiedemann, 1830 = Microdon aurifex Wiedemann, 1830 jun. syn. n., Microdon batesi Shannon, 1927 = Microdon beebei Curran, 1936 syn. n.

Species of Symphrasinae (Neuroptera: Mantispidae) are ectoparasitoids of larvae and pupae of holometabolous insects, primarily of Hymenoptera in their larval stages. Herein we present the third case of an association between the mantidfly genus Anchieta Navás, 1909 with the order Hymenoptera. The hymenopteran species attacked by the as of yet undescribed species of Anchieta is Montezumia dimidiata Saussure, 1852 (Vespidae: Eumeninae), a predacious wasp that constructs mud nests. The association was observed in Peruvian Amazonia (near Tarapoto, San Martín), after rearing the mantidflies from a wasp nest. The biology and mimicry pattern with stingless bees of the reared Anchieta species is discussed. Keywords. Ectoparasitoids; Symphrasinae; Mimicry; Neotropics. INTRODUCTION der eggs, yet sometimes

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) Based on Molecular and Morphological Characters
    Systematic Entomology (2013), 38, 661–688 DOI: 10.1111/syen.12020 Phylogenetic relationships of Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) based on molecular and morphological characters MENNO REEMER1 and GUNILLA STAHLS˚ 2 1Naturalis Biodiversity Center, European Invertebrate Survey, Leiden, The Netherlands and 2Finnish Museum of Natural History, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland Abstract. The intrasubfamilial classification of Microdontinae Rondani (Diptera: Syrphidae) has been a challenge: until recently more than 300 out of more than 400 valid species names were classified in Microdon Meigen. We present phylogenetic analyses of molecular and morphological characters (both separate and combined) of Microdontinae. The morphological dataset contains 174 characters, scored for 189 taxa (9 outgroup), representing all 43 presently recognized genera and several subgenera and species groups. The molecular dataset, representing 90 ingroup species of 28 genera, comprises sequences of five partitions in total from the mitochondrial gene COI and the nuclear ribosomal genes 18S and 28S . We test the sister-group relationship of Spheginobaccha with the other Microdontinae, attempt to elucidate phylogenetic relationships within the Microdontinae and discuss uncertainties in the classification of Microdontinae. Trees based on molecular characters alone are poorly resolved, but combined data are better resolved. Support for many deeper nodes is low, and placement of such nodes differs between parsimony and Bayesian analyses. However, Spheginobaccha is recovered as highly supported sister group in both. Both analyses agree on the early branching of Mixogaster, Schizoceratomyia, Afromicrodon and Paramicrodon. The taxonomical rank in relation to the other Syrphidae is discussed briefly. An additional analysis based on morphological characters only, including all 189 taxa, used implied weighting.

  • Identification Key for the Genera of Syrphidae (Diptera) from the Brazilian Amazon and New Taxon Records
    ACTA AMAZONICA http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1809-4392201601022 Identification key for the genera of Syrphidae (Diptera) from the Brazilian Amazon and new taxon records Gil Felipe Gonçalves MIRANDA1* 1 Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, Coordenação de Biodiversidade. Avenida André Araujo, 2936, Bairro Petrópolis - Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil - CEP: 69060-060. * Corresponding author: [email protected]. ABSTRACT Identification keys are essential to properly recognize taxa, and a photographic key not only addresses that issue but can also attract the interest of the general public if designed correctly. Syrphidae is one of the largest families of Diptera, and the Brazilian Amazon holds more taxon records from this family than currently reported. The aim of the current study was to provide an updated photographic identification key, of easy use and access, to the genera of Syrphidae (Diptera) from the Brazilian Amazon region, and identify previously unrecorded taxa. Through a literature review and study of collection material from several institutions, I found 36 new taxon records for the Brazilian Amazon (15 are first records for Brazil) and provided a list of references with identification keys to species from each genus. The online version of this manuscript has a photographic identification key, with diagnostic pages for each genus, as supplementary material. KEYWORDS: Flower fly; live pictures; Neotropical; online; taxonomy Chave de identificação para os gêneros de Syrphidae (Diptera) da Amazônia brasileira e novos registros RESUMO Chaves de identificação são essenciais para reconhecer táxons, e uma chave pictórica atende a essa demanda e também desperta o interesse do público em geral, se for desenhada apropriadamente.
