Family Syrphidae 9. VIII. 76 MUSEU DE ZOOLOGIA, UNIVERSIDADE DE SAO PAUU) (Formely Departamento de Zoologia, Secretaria da Agricultura, Sao Paulo) A CATALOGUE OF THE DIPTERA OF THE AMERICAS SOUTH OF THE UNITED STATES 46 FAMILY SYRPHIDAE F. Christian Thompson The American Museum of Natural History, New York, New York, U-S.A. J. R. VOCKEROTH Entomology Research Institute, Canada Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada Yale S. Sedman Department of Biological Sciences, Western Illinois University Macomb, Illinois, U.S.A. Adult Syrphidae, commonly called "Flower or Hover Flies", are rather conspicuous flies. Their size ranges from 4 mm to over 25 mm and their coloration from bright yellows and oranges to dull drab blacks and grays with a few iridescent forms. Many syrphid flies are Batesian mimics of stinging Hymenoptera and are highly beneficial as pollinators. The larvae of most syrphids are of little direct importance to man. A few are pests of Narcissus bulbs (Eumerus and Merodon), others have occasionally been reported to cause intestinal myiasis in man (Eristalis), and some of the predaceous syrphines are of importance in the control of aphids and other Homoptera. Syrphid flies are wordwide in distribution, with their greatest diver- sity of forms in the New World tropics. Despite this interesting diversity and the critical zoogeographic importance of the Neotropical area, the South American forms are still poorly known. The higher classification of the Neotropical Syrphidae has been recently revised in large part by Vockeroth (1969, tribes of Syrphinae, genera of Syrphini) and Thompson (1969, Microdontinae; 1972, Milesiinae), but much still needs to be done on the specific level. The first catalog of Neotropical Syrphidae was written by Williston (1886; corrections, 1887a). Aldrich's Catalogue of North American Dip- tera (19C5) included many Neotropical species, since his coverage included Central America. Kertesz (1910) provided a World catalog but his work on the New World was largely based on Williston and Aldrich. 46.1 Some local catalogs were published (Brethes, 1907 — Argentina; Stuardo, 1946 — Chile), but Fluke (1956-57) provided the first modern catalog to the Neotropical Syrphidae. However, as is usual with any such first attempts, there were numerous errors of both omission and commission in it. Goot (1946) reviewed Fluke's catalog, corrected some of his omissions, but still missed about a dozen species and caused additional confusion by introducting a few unnecessary names. The present catalog is hopefully an improvement over Fluke's work but the large part of the credit for this improvement is due to his pioneering work and Goot's corrections. Besides the corrections of earlier errors, the other improvements in the present catalog stem from the use of a new higher classification of the family, as mentioned above. As a result our work, which tends to recognize distinct genera for the Neotropical species rather than to include them in worldwide genera as did earlier workers, contains many new combinations. This catalog contains about 1,000 new combinations and synonyms. Most of these new changes have been indicated but undoubtedly some have escaped our notice. Many of the synonymies and combinations involving species of the earlier workers are based on the work of Vockeroth, who studied types of their species during trips to Europe in 1969 and 1971. Some of the other changes resulted from a short visit to the British Museum (Natural History) by Thompson and the loan of selected! types by various curators to him. For all the gracious cooperation we received during our studies, we are very grateful to those curators listed below by their respective museums. An attempt is made to list the depository of all the types of Neo- tropical species. These statements about type depositories start with an indication of the number of types, followed by the sex of the type or types and end with an abbreviation for the depository. The singular, type, is used when the species was described from a single specimen or a holotype or lectotype was or has been designated [in the case of lectotypes, reference to the designation is given] ; the plural, types, when the species was described from a series and no lectotype has been designated; and "type(s)" when we are uncertain of the number of types incolved. The sex of the type or types is indicated by a sex sym-bol or query when the sex is unknown. The types are assumed to be where they were reported to be deposited either in the original publication or in other references (such as Horn & Kahle, 1935-37; Sacht- leben, 1961; Byers et al., 1962; and Zimsen, 1964). In cases of doubt about the depository of a type a quesy is added after the abbreviation for depository and when the depository is unknown only a query is used. All types seen by the authors are marked with an asterisk after the depository abbreviation. In a few cases where the type is missing, lost or destroyed this information is included in parentheses after the abbre- viation and with either a reference to the source of the information or initials, which indicates which one of us has noted it.

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.

Three molecular markers were used, i.e., the mitochondrial protein-coding gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and the nuclear 28S and 18S ribosomal RNA genes. The Sphaerophoria lineage genera Exallandra Vockeroth and Loveridgeana were resolved within the genus Sphaerophoria, and the Indomalayan Eosphaerophoria Frey was placed sister to Citrogramma Vockeroth, both related to a large species radiation from the New World. Fazia Shannon and Allograpta Osten Sacken were recovered as non-monophyletic. Our results recovered two different Fazia clades with dissimilar natural history resulted from our analyses, and Allograpta species were resolved into two clades, one with Nearctic and Neotropical species and a second clade with species from Oceanian, Indomalayan and Afrotropical Regions.

ARTÍCULOS DE INVESTIGACIÓN / RESEARCH PAPERS IDESIA (Chile) Enero-Febrero, 2016 Efecto de la condición hídrica de vegas altoandinas del desierto transicional de Chile sobre algunas características comunitarias de su dipterofauna Effect of water-condition of high Andean wet pastures of the transitional desert of Chile on some community attributes of their diptero-fauna Jorge Cepeda-Pizarro1*, Jaime Pizarro-Araya1, Christian R. González2 RESUMEN En relación con los invertebrados, el conocimiento acerca de la biota de las vegas altoandinas del norte-centro de Chile es clara- mente asimétrico. En este trabajo, mediante el empleo de trampas de intercepción de caída y aérea, se estudió la dipterofauna de tres vegas diferentes en su condición hídrica. Del total capturado, la vega húmeda aportó el 52,1%; la vega seca, el 38,3% y la vega mésica, el 9,6%. Se registró la presencia de 29 familias, estimándose un máximo de 30. Por tipo de vega se registraron pequeñas diferencias en el número de familias comunes y exclusivas. Entre vegas, mientras Muscidae dominó numéricamente en la vega seca; Muscidae y Chironomidae codominaron en la vega mésica; a su vez, Chironomidae y Sphaeroceridae lo hicieron en la vega húmeda. Se detectó un efecto de la condición hídrica de la vega sobre las relaciones entre familias de su abundancia relativa. Este efecto se observó igualmente en las comparaciones de diversidad y equitabilidad. El agua está siendo un recurso cada vez más escaso en la región desértica de Chile. Por ello, vegas como las estudiadas en esta ocasión están en un estado muy vulnerable.
