Comments concerning natural history and microhabitats of larvae are provided. This is the first detailed description with illustrations for the last instar larva and pupa of Tipula (Nippotipula) sinica. Pupal characteristics resemble those of most species from advanced lineages within the subfamily Tipulinae. And, also it described with habitats and biological notes of Tipula (Nippotipula) sinica. Crane fly larvae, categorization as found in this survey indicate a taxonomic stream and are expected to help. Keywords: crane fly, Diptera, immature stages, last instar, Korean peninsula INTRODUCTION Japan) and NIKON D7000 digital camera (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). The larvae used in this study were killed by dropping The subgenus Nippotipula of tipulid flies has been record- them into near boiling hot water. After 5 min, specimens ed in 20 species around the world (Oosterbroek, 2015). Of were transferred to 10% formalin and left for several weeks. these, four species have been recorded from the palearctic Then, they were preserved in 70% ethanol for permanent region. -

LANTSOV Laboratory of Invertebrate Diversity, Institute of Ecology of Mountain Territories of Kabardino-Balkarian Scientific Centre of Russian Academy of Sciences, Innesy Armand str., 37A, Nalchik, 360051, Russia Email: [email protected] I would like to bring to the attention of the reader that this issue of ZOOSYMPOSIA is devoted to the blessed memory of three outstanding entomologists―taxonomists, who made inestimable contributions to the knowledge of crane flies of the World, namely, Charles Paul Alexander (1889– 1981), Bernhard Mannheims (1909–1971), and Eugeniy Nikolaevich Savchenko (1909–1994). The year 2009 marks 120 years since the birth of C. Alexander and the 100th anniversary of E. Savchenko and B. Mannheims. It is well known that the beginning of the modern period of study of tipuloid dipterans can be dated from the publication of the 10th edition of the famous “Systema Naturae” by Carl Linnaeus (1758) in which he used for the first time the binary names for 37 species of insects including the generic name Tipula. Subsequently, appreciable contributions to the taxonomy of the Tipuloidea were the works by Johann Wilhelm Meigen, who described more than 40 species that may be considered crane flies, and later on, in the second half of the 19th century, the works by Hermann Loew and Carl Robert Osten Sacken. Most of the 19th century can be called, according to Savchenko (1983), “the formal period” as the descriptions of species included only the external, visible characters, the outward appearance or habitus of specimens. -

Scottish Pollinating Flies
Scottish Pollinating Flies Introduction to True flies True flies form one of the largest and most diverse orders of insects called Diptera (meaning two wings). There are around 160,000 species worldwide in 150 families, with 7,200 species from over 90 families recorded in the UK. They inhabit every continent and almost every terrestrial and freshwater niche on the planet which is testament to their adaptability. True flies differ from other insects in that they have retained only their front pair of wings, with the hind pair having evolved into small club-shaped appendages called ‘halteres’ which act as gyroscopes and facilitate greater aerobatic agility. They provide a range of ecological services including pollination, controlling pest species, the decomposition of organic material, and supplementing the dietary requirements of a wide range of other organisms. Pollinating flies and other dipterans Of the four most significant orders of pollinating insects, flies are the most abundant. Approximately 1,500 of the 7,200 British species are thought to contribute to pollination. Hoverflies (family Syrphidae) are especially significant pollinators, but some other families (the house flies and their relatives) are just as important. The remainder of the 90+ families contribute relatively few, or no pollinating species. True flies contribute to more pollination in Scotland than any other order of insects, mainly due to the sparsity, absence or selectiveness of bees in colder, northern upland habitats. Below are some examples that demonstrate the diversity of true flies that may be encountered.
