Stomach bot flies (Calyptratae: Oestridae, Gasterophilinae) are obligate endoparasitoids of Proboscidea (i.e. elephants), Rhinocerotidae (i.e. rhinos) and Equidae (i.e. horses and zebras, etc.), with their larvae developing in the digestive tract of hosts with very strong host specificity. They represent an extremely unusual diver- sity among dipteran, or even insect parasites in general, and therefore provide sig- nificant insights into the evolution of parasitism. The phylogeny of stomach botflies was reconstructed -

Loftin, Professor and Extension Entomologist – Coeditor Contributors Dr. Becky McPeake, Professor and Wildlife Extension Specialist Sherrie E. Smith, Plant Pathology Instructor, Plant Health Clinic Diagnostician Letter #6 October 31, 2017 ________________________________________________________________________________ Stopping Occasional Arthropod Invaders John D. Hopkins When the weather begins to change in the fall and things get cooler, arthropod pests like the multi-colored Asian lady beetle, the boxelder bug, crickets, various stinkbugs, or spiders are just some of the pest problems that homeowners may have to deal with. The first thing most people think of when trying to prevent a pest problem is WHAT INSECTICIDE DO I SPRAY? However, there are other measures that should be taken that will help prevent these pests from entering your home and may even eliminate the need for an insecticide application. Pest proofing your home is the BEST way to prevent unwanted invaders at this time or any other time of year. Your goal is to prevent pest entry and eliminate conditions that are conducive to pest infestation. Here are the ABC’s of pest proofing your home: A. Ensure that screens on doors and windows are properly installed and maintained. If you don't have screen doors on your home, install them. Any damaged screens should be repaired or replaced. Fine mesh screening will prevent all but the tiniest insects from entering your home. B. Doors should seal properly. If air can pass through or light can be seen through cracks around doors then insects or spiders can get in. -

Molecular Detection of Theileria and Babesia in a Diversity of Stomoxyini
Original Article Molecular Detection of Theileria and Babesia in a Diversity of Stomoxyini Flies (Diptera: Muscidae) from Khao Yai National Park, Thailand Tanasak Changbunjong1,2* Sivapong Sungpradit1 Oraphan Kanthasaewee2 Poonyapat Sedwisai2 Siriporn Tangsudjai2 Jiraporn Ruangsittichai3 Abstract Blood protozoan species of the genera Theileria and Babesia are known to infect both domestic and wild animals. This study was carried out to detect Theileria and Babesia DNA in Stomoxyini flies collected in Khao Yai National Park, Thailand. A total of 110 Stomoxyini flies including 6 species, Stomoxys calcitrans, Stomoxys indicus, Stomoxys pullus, Stomoxys uruma, Haematobosca sanguinolenta and Haematostoma austeni, were examined by amplification against the 18S rRNA gene of the Theileria/Babesia species and then the PCR products were sequenced for species identification by comparison with published sequences from the GenBank database. Ten (9.1%) out of 110 samples were positive against the 18S rRNA gene of the Theileria/Babesia species. For sequence analysis, 7 samples (6.4%) were identified as Theileria sp. and showed high identity (99%) with Theileria sp. (JQ751279) and T. cervi (HQ184406 and HQ184411), while 3 samples (2.7%) were identified as Babesia canis vogeli and showed 100% identity with reported sequences of B. canis vogeli (AB083374 and HM590440). Phylogenetic relationships among the sequenced samples showed that the Theileria sp. appeared in the same group as T. cervi, while B. canis vogeli appeared in a distinct group. This study -
New Records of the Genus Callicera Panzer, 1806 (Diptera: Syrphidae) from Serbia

In addition to the recurring detection of this species, the first records of Callicera aurata (Rossi, 1790) and Callicera spinolae Rondani, 1844 are documented. Based on the collected and studied material, the distribution maps and identification key for Serbian species are provided. KEY WORDS: Callicera aurata, Callicera spinolae, distribution, Serbia, identification key. Introduction With about 6000 described species, hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) represent one of the most species-rich dipteran families. About 1800 species were recorded in the Palaearctic region (Van Veen, 2004). Hoverflies are significant pollinators of many plant species, and 19% of all insect pollinators are from the family Syrphidae (Rotheray & Gilbert, 2011). The genus Callicera Panzer, 1809 belongs to the subfamily Eristalinae, tribe Callicerini (Thompson & Rotheray, 1998). Callicera comprise robust bee-mimicking species, with very long antennae with arista posted at the apex of the third antennal segment. 60 Z. NEDELJKOVIĆ et al. The distribution of Callicera species is limited to the Holarctic and Indomalayan regions. -

Austroconops Wirth and Lee, a Lower Cretaceous Genus of Biting Midges
PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CENTRAL PARK WEST AT 79TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10024 Number 3449, 67 pp., 26 ®gures, 6 tables August 23, 2004 Austroconops Wirth and Lee, a Lower Cretaceous Genus of Biting Midges Yet Living in Western Australia: a New Species, First Description of the Immatures and Discussion of Their Biology and Phylogeny (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) ART BORKENT1 AND DOUGLAS A. CRAIG2 ABSTRACT The eggs and all four larval instars of Austroconops mcmillani Wirth and Lee and A. annettae Borkent, new species, are described. The pupa of A. mcmillani is also described. Life cycles and details of behavior of each life stage are reported, including feeding by the aquatic larvae on microscopic organisms in very wet soil/detritus, larval locomotion, female adult biting habits on humans and kangaroos, and male adult swarming. Austroconops an- nettae Borkent, new species, is attributed to the ®rst author. Cladistic analysis shows that the two extant Austroconops Wirth and Lee species are sister species. Increasingly older fossil species of Austroconops represent increasingly earlier line- ages. Among extant lineages, Austroconops is the sister group of Leptoconops Skuse, and together they form the sister group of all other Ceratopogonidae. Dasyhelea Kieffer is the sister group of Forcipomyia Meigen 1 Atrichopogon Kieffer, and together they form the sister group of the Ceratopogoninae. Forcipomyia has no synapomorphies and may be paraphyletic in relation to Atrichopogon. Austroconops is morphologically conservative (possesses many plesiomorphic features) in each life stage and this allows for interpretation of a number of features within Ceratopogonidae and other Culicomorpha. A new interpretation of Cretaceous fossil lineages shows that Austroconops, Leptoconops, Minyohelea Borkent, Jordanoconops 1 Royal British Columbia Museum, American Museum of Natural History, and Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad. -

Parasites Vectors (2020) 13:461 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-020-04316-7 Parasites & Vectors RESEARCH Open Access Incompletely observed: niche estimation for six frequent European horsefy species (Diptera, Tabanoidea, Tabanidae) Dorian D. Dörge1*, Sarah Cunze1 and Sven Klimpel1,2 Abstract Background: More than 170 species of tabanids are known in Europe, with many occurring only in limited areas or having become very rare in the last decades. They continue to spread various diseases in animals and are responsible for livestock losses in developing countries. The current monitoring and recording of horsefies is mainly conducted throughout central Europe, with varying degrees of frequency depending on the country. To the detriment of tabanid research, little cooperation exists between western European and Eurasian countries. Methods: For these reasons, we have compiled available sources in order to generate as complete a dataset as possi- ble of six horsefy species common in Europe. We chose Haematopota pluvialis, Chrysops relictus, C. caecutiens, Tabanus bromius, T. bovinus and T. sudeticus as ubiquitous and abundant species within Europe. The aim of this study is to esti- mate the distribution, land cover usage and niches of these species. We used a surface-range envelope (SRE) model in accordance with our hypothesis of an underestimated distribution based on Eurocentric monitoring regimes. Results: Our results show that all six species have a wide range in Eurasia, have a broad climatic niche and can there- fore be considered as widespread generalists. Areas with modelled habitat suitability cover the observed distribution and go far beyond these. This supports our assumption that the current state of tabanid monitoring and the recorded distribution signifcantly underestimates the actual distribution. -
