ZooKeys 365: 263–278. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.365.6070 Abstract Empidoidea is one of the largest extant lineages of flies, but phylogenetic relationships among species of this group are poorly investigated and global diversity remains scarcely assessed. In this context, one of the most enigmatic empidoid families is Hybotidae. Within the framework of a pilot study, we barcoded 339 specimens of Old World hybotids belonging to 164 species and 22 genera (plus two Empis as outgroups) and attempted to evaluate whether patterns of intra- and interspecific divergences match the current tax- onomy.

Neatby Building, C.E.F., Ottawa, ON, Canada K1A 0C6 [email protected] ABSTRACT. The Australian endemic genus Apterodromia Oldroyd (Diptera: Empidoidea) is revised and includes four apterous species (A. evansi Oldroyd, A. minuta n.sp, A. setosa n.sp., and A. tasmanica n.sp.) and eight fully winged species (A. aurea n.sp., A. bickeli n.sp., A. irrorata n.sp., A. monticola n.sp., A. pala n.sp., A. spilota n.sp., A. tonnoiri n.sp., and A. vespertina n.sp.). The male of A. evansi is described and zoogeographic patterns of the genus are discussed. On the basis of wing venation and male terminalia Apterodromia is transferred from the Tachydromiinae to the tribe Ocydromiini (subfamily Ocydromiinae). The Ocydromiini is redefined, two new genera (Neotrichina n.gen. and Leptodromia n.gen.) are described, and all included genera are listed. Keys to major lineages of Australian Empidoidea and Southern Hemisphere genera of Ocydromiini are provided. The following new combinations are listed: Hoplopeza tachydromiaeformis (Bezzi), Leptodromia bimaculata (Bezzi), Neotrichina abdominalis (Collin), N. digna (Collin), N. digressa (Collin), N. distincta (Collin), N. elegans (Bigot), N. fida (Collin), N. indiga (Collin), N.

Adrian R. Plant ([email protected]) Received: 7 August 2019; Accepted: 12 November 2019 ABSTRACT.– Composition and structure of communities of the Diptera superfamily Empidoidea (30,481 individuals of 511 species in 55 genera in the families Empididae, Dolichopodidae, Hybotidae and Brachystomatidae) were compared in Upper Montane Forests on Doi Inthanon and Doi Phahompok in northern Thailand. Based on taxon similarity (α-, β-diversity), structural diversity (the species abundance distribution and importance of dominant species), cluster analysis of community composition and the relative importance of inferred Oriental and Palaearctic influences, it was concluded that communities in Upper Montane Forest at 2,036 – 2,105 m near the summit of Doi Phahompok were most similar to those at 1,639 – 2,210 m on Doi Inthanon. Approximately 33% of species recorded at 2,036 – 2,105 m on Doi Phahompok were endemic to the mountain. Upper Montane Forest is a rare, dispersed and isolated habitat in southeastern Asia with scattered patches likely to experience comparable levels of β-diversity and endemism as found here.

This is the first comprehensive introduction to the flies of the subfamily Tachydromiinae (Hybotidae) of Singapore. The monograph summarizes all publications on the Tachydromiinae of Singapore and includes new data resulting from mass-trapping surveys made in Singapore during the last six years. A few samples from Malaysia (Johor province, Pulau Tioman and Langkawi) have been also included in this study. In Singapore the Tachydromiinae are the most diverse group of Empidoidea (except Dolichopodidae) and currently comprise 85 species belonging to the following nine genera: Platypalpus (1), Tachydromia (1), Chersodromia (6), Pontodromia (1), Drapetis (5), Elaphropeza (60), Crossopalpus (1), Nanodromia (3) and Stilpon (7). All species are diagnosed and illustrated.

Key words: Diptera, Empididae, Hybotinae, Hybos, new species, Guangdong Introduction The cosmopolitan genus Hybos Meigen, 1803, belongs to the subfamily Hybotinae (Diptera: Empididae), and is characterized by the following features: proboscis long and spine-like, anal cell longer than basal cell, Rs rather short, and R4+5 and M1 divergent api- cally (Chvála 1983). When last catalogued, 37 species were known from the Oriental realm (Smith 1975) and nine from the Palaearctic realm (Chvála & Kovalev 1989). Since then, for China alone, that number has increased to 85 described species (Yang & Yang 2004). The Guangdong Province has a subtropical to tropical climate, belonging to the south- ern region of China in the Oriental realm.

Key words: Neohybos, Neotropical region, taxonomy Introduction The genus Neohybos was erected by Ale-Rocha & Carvalho (2003) to accommodate some Neotropical spe- cies formerly included in Hybos Meigen and Euhybus Coquillett. Neohybos is characterized by its ovate post- pedicel, acr and dc series sparse on disc, wing narrow, anal lobe not developed and male eighth abdominal segment not rotated. It belongs to the Neotropical group of hybotine genera with a short membranous probos- cis bearing pseudotrachaea, together with Euhybus and Cerathybos Bezzi. It differs from Euhybus in having acr and dc series sparse on disc and anal lobe not developed; differs from Cerathybos by the ovate post- pedicel. Neohybos occurs exclusively in the Neotropical Region and there are currently nine described species (Ale-Rocha & Carvalho, 2003; Ale-Rocha & Rafael, 2004). In this work eleven new species are being described from Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.

  • Arthropods Associated with Above-Ground Portions of the Invasive Tree, Melaleuca Quinquenervia, in South Florida, Usa
    300 Florida Entomologist 86(3) September 2003 ARTHROPODS ASSOCIATED WITH ABOVE-GROUND PORTIONS OF THE INVASIVE TREE, MELALEUCA QUINQUENERVIA, IN SOUTH FLORIDA, USA SHERYL L. COSTELLO, PAUL D. PRATT, MIN B. RAYAMAJHI AND TED D. CENTER USDA-ARS, Invasive Plant Research Laboratory, 3205 College Ave., Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33314 ABSTRACT Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) S. T. Blake, the broad-leaved paperbark tree, has invaded ca. 202,000 ha in Florida, including portions of the Everglades National Park. We performed prerelease surveys in south Florida to determine if native or accidentally introduced arthro- pods exploit this invasive plant species and assess the potential for higher trophic levels to interfere with the establishment and success of future biological control agents. Herein we quantify the abundance of arthropods present on the above-ground portions of saplings and small M. quinquenervia trees at four sites. Only eight of the 328 arthropods collected were observed feeding on M. quinquenervia. Among the arthropods collected in the plants adven- tive range, 19 species are agricultural or horticultural pests. The high percentage of rare species (72.0%), presumed to be transient or merely resting on the foliage, and the paucity of species observed feeding on the weed, suggests that future biological control agents will face little if any competition from pre-existing plant-feeding arthropods. Key Words: Paperbark tree, arthropod abundance, Oxyops vitiosa, weed biological control RESUMEN Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) S. T. Blake ha invadido ca. 202,000 ha en la Florida, inclu- yendo unas porciones del Parque Nacional de los Everglades. Nosotros realizamos sondeos preliminares en el sur de la Florida para determinar si los artópodos nativos o accidental- mente introducidos explotan esta especie de planta invasora y evaluar el potencial de los ni- veles tróficos superiores para interferir con el establecimento y éxito de futuros agentes de control biológico.

Twenty-three species have been recorded from the Palaearctic, of which only four species are known from Europe. We describe two new species, H. andradei sp.
