References 336 Abstract: The Asilidae of the Philippine Islands are reviewed after a study of recent­ ly collected material. Keys are given to tribes, genera and species. The number of genera is 28, and of species 100; one genus and 37 species are described as new. Illustrations include genitalic drawings of species. The relationships of the Asilidae of the Philippine Islands among the islands, and with adjoining areas, are discussed, and it is concluded that there is no present evidence of any endemic fauna. I.

A total of 30 asilid species representing 22 genera are listed in this paper from Tehran province. Of these, Neoitamus senectus Richter, Stenopogon rufipilus ruficauda Engel and Rhadinus ungulinus Loew are new records for the fauna of Iran. Additionally, prey records and distributional data are provided for asilid species.

  • Hemiptera (Heteroptera/Homoptera) As Prey of Robber Flies (Diptera: Asilidae) with Unpublished Records
    J. Ent. Res. Soc., 12(1): 27-47, 2010 ISSN:1302-0250 Hemiptera (Heteroptera/Homoptera) as Prey of Robber Flies (Diptera: Asilidae) with Unpublished Records D. Steve DENNIS1 Robert J.

Box 861161, St. Augustine, Florida 32086, USA, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Of the approximately 58,000 plus prey records in the Asilidae Predator-Prey Database, 9.1% are Hemiptera (3.5% Heteroptera and 5.6% Homoptera). Forty six of the 133 recognized worldwide Hemiptera families are preyed upon with generally more prey records for female than male robber flies. Potential explanations for robber flies, in particular females, preying upon Hemiptera are discussed. Numbers of Hemiptera prey are examined based on their associated families, genera and species. Hemiptera prey are also discussed in relation to robber fly subfamilies and genera. New records of Hemiptera prey are presented and compared with prey records in the Database. Keywords: Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Homoptera, prey, robber flies, Diptera, Asilidae INTRODUCTION The Hemiptera, the largest order of hemimetabolous insects consisting of approximately 70,000 to 80,000 plus described species (Meyer, 2008), occur worldwide. Traditionally the Hemiptera are divided into two suborders, the Heteroptera and Homoptera, although some taxonomists believe that the Coleorrhyncha, Stenorrhyncha and Auchenorryncha also are suborders.

Skevington 1,2 ABSTRACT The Asilidae (Diptera) of Bosanquet (northern Lambton County, Ontario) are surveyed. Forty-one species are recorded. Twelve species are published for the first time from Canada: Atomosia puella, Cerotainia albipilosa, Cero­ tainia macrocera, Holcocephala calva, Holopogon (Holopogon) oriens, Laphria canis, Laphria divisor, Laphria grossa, Lasiopogon opaculus, Machimus notatus, Machimus sadyates, and Neomochtherus auricomus. These species plus the following four are new to Ontario: Laphystia fiavipes, Lasiopogon tetragrammus, Machimus novaescotiae, and Proctacanthella ca­ copiloga. Lambton County, on the southeastern shore of Lake Huron in Ontario, is a unique part of the Great Lakes Region.

An additional seven which may occur are included. Keys to subfamilies, genera and species are given. Two subfamilies and twenty-five genera are represented. A discussion of specific identification, habitat, and distribution is given where possible. The Laphria canis complex, index complex, and aeatus complex are discussed. One new species, Laphria calvescenta is described. Laphria disparella has been raised from synonymy. Machimus virginicus was removed from Asilus sensu-latu and placed in the genus Machimus.
