The protection, by its influence with landowners and others, of indigenous species requiring protection, and the circulation of information which may dispel prejudices leading to their destruction. 3. The discouragement of the practice of destroying the rarer species of birds that occasionally visit the County, and of exterminating rare plants in their native localities. 4. The record of facts and traditions connected with the habits, distribution, and former abundance or otherwise of animals and plants which have become extinct in the County; and the use of all legitimate means to prevent the extermination of existing species, more especially those known to be diminishing in numbers. 5. The publication of Papers on Natural History, contributed to the Society, especially such as relate to the County of Norfolk. 6. The facilitating a friendly intercourse between local Naturalists, by means of Meetings for the reading and discussion of papers and for the exhibition of specimens, supplemented by Field-meetings and Excursions, with a view to extend the study of Natural Science on a sound and systematic basis. : TRANSACTIONS OF THE Barftdh and Harwich NATURALISTS’ Presented to the Members for - 1902 1903 .

    Dipterists Digest Scottish Islands Series Edited by Derek Whiteley Contributions by E.G. Hancock, A.R. Plant, K.P. Bland, 0. Whiteley, D. Horsfield Introduction E.G. Hancock Between 25-29 June 1990, ttie 10th Annual Scottish Entomologists' Field Meeting was located on Rum, previously spelt Rhum, apparently Incorrectly (Campbell, 1991). To mark a decade of these field meetings it was appropriate to be invited by the Nature Conservancy Council to spend a week recording insects there. Twenty two entomologists travelled to the west of Scotland of whom fourteen contributed records of Diptera. In the past, and since then, the support of the NCC and its successor bodies has been of great benefit to these annual field meetings which has been reciprocated by the provision of records on the sites visited. In 1990 we were specifically invited to Rum for several reasons. This island is one of the Inner Hebrides and has been managed as a National Nature Reserve since 1957. It has been over twenty years since extensive systematic recording viras last undertaken and subsequently published as an impressive listing (Wormell, 1982). Also the effect of new management practices were beginning to have an effect on the landscape which might be reflected in a change in the insect fauna. The most visible of these was a programme of tree planting, sometimes within fenced areas to protect the plants from grazing damage by red deer, it has been shown in some of the results already published (Hancock, 1992) that there are some detectable additions to the fauna attributable to the greater abundance and variety of trees.

Sampling was performed during the adult flies’ seasonal activity (March-October) in 2002, 2003 and 2004 using yellow pan traps, Malaise traps, emergence traps, and by sweeping. Altogether 5,697 specimens of 78 species of Dolichopodidae were collected, identified and analysed. The study examined community structure, species abundance, and diversity(Shannon-Weaver’sindex-H’;Sheldon’sequitabilityindex-E).Chrysotus cilipes,C. gramineus and Dolichopus ungulatus were the most abundant species in all three years. Species richness and diversity seem strongly affected by soil moisture.

  • Checklist of Lithuanian Diptera
    NAUJOS IR RETOS LIETUVOS VABZDŽIŲ RŪŠYS. 27 tomas 105 NEW DATA ON SEVERAL DIPTERA FAMILIES IN LITHUANIA ANDRIUS PETRAŠIŪNAS1, ERIKAS LUTOVINOVAS2 1Department of Zoology, Vilnius University, M. K. Čiurlionio 21, LT-03101 Vilnius, Lithuania. E-mail: [email protected] 2Nature Research Centre, Akademijos 2, LT-08412 Vilnius, Lithuania. E-mails: [email protected], [email protected] Introduction The latest list of Lithuanian Diptera included 3311 species (Pakalniškis et al., 2006) and later publications during the past nine years added about 220 more, mainly from the following families: Nematocera: Limoniidae and Tipulidae (Podėnas, 2008), Trichoceridae (Petrašiūnas & Visarčuk, 2007; Petrašiūnas, 2008), Chironomidae (Móra & Kovács, 2009), Bolitophilidae, Keroplatidae, Mycetophilidae and Sciaridae (Kurina et al., 2011); Brachycera: Asilidae (Lutovinovas, 2012a), Syrphidae (Lutovinovas, 2007; 2012b; Lutovinovas & Kinduris, 2013), Pallopteridae (Lutovinovas, 2013), Ulidiidae (Lutovinovas & Petrašiūnas, 2013), Tephritidae (Lutovinovas, 2014), Fanniidae and Muscidae (Lutovinovas, 2007; Lutovinovas & Rozkošný, 2009), Tachinidae (Lutovinovas, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012c). Fauna of only the few Diptera families in Lithuania (out of 90 families recorded) is studied comparatively better (e.g. Agromyzidae, Limoniidae, Simuliidae, Syrphidae, Tipulidae, Tachinidae), with majority of the families getting weaker or only sporadic attention, if at all. New species are being recorded every time and more effort is devoted, proving that there is still much to do in Diptera research in Lithuania. The following publication provides new data on fifteen Diptera families in Lithuania with most attention paid to several anthophilous families (e.g. Bombyliidae, Conopidae and Stratiomyidae). Material and Methods Most specimens were caught by sweeping the vegetation and the few others were identified from photographs.

  • Soldierflies in VC55
    LEICESTERSHIRE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY Provisional status of Soldierflies (Stratiomyidae) in VC55 Ray Morris Odontomyia argentata (Graham Calow) LESOPS 33 (April 2017) ISSN 0957 - 1019 16 Hinckley Road, Dadlington CV13 6HU [email protected] LESOPS 33 (2017) Soldierflies 2 Introduction The flies (Diptera) are often considered to be difficult for the amateur to study. Perhaps the main exception is the Syrphidae (hoverflies) as many are easily recognised from their behaviour, bright coloration and abdominal markings. Even so care has to be taken with many of the species. The flies that constitute the “Larger Brachycera” share two common wing features: anal veins that converge (Figure 1a) and veins that fan out to the edge of the wing (Figure 1b). Among this grouping are the Stratiomyidae (soldierflies) which usually can be readily identified as a family by their well-defined discal cell (Figure 1c) although some, e.g. Pachygaster, may not show this so well. 1c: Small central well- defined discal cell 1a: Anal veins converging towards wing edge 1b: Veins fanning out towards wing edge Figure 1: Typical wing of Stratiomyidae Availability of an excellent user-friendly key (Stubbs & Drake, 2014) enables identification of soldierflies to be achieved relatively easily although some sort of magnification is recommended to aid recognition of diagnostic characters. Most importantly, the soldierflies are a small group and should appeal to those who wish to extend their entomological interest without being burdened by a large number of species to come to terms with. In Britain there are 48 species regarded as being resident and of those 33 have been recorded in VC55 (Leicestershire & Rutland) to the end of 2016.
